A reckless driver exceeding 130 mph on I-70 evaded an initial stop but was later detained by Wentzville PD. The department thanks the community for its support and urges safety.

The Missouri Senate has passed a bill to ban child marriage for anyone under 18 with no exceptions, moving it to the House for further debate. Sponsored by Sen.

Rick Brattin acknowledged the historical norm of young marriages, he ultimately supported the change. Sen. Mike Moon was the only dissenting vote. If enacted, the law would not affect existing marriages.
