Head of Morgan County Emergency Management charged with felony, misdemeanor

KMIZ on October 6, 2025

Ryan Shiner

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The director of Morgan County Emergency Management was charged with a felony and a misdemeanor after he allegedly followed a woman back to her home on Saturday.

Jason Foster, 40, of Versailles, was charged in Morgan County with first-degree harassment and first-degree trespassing, a misdemeanor.

He was booked into the Morgan County Jail at 6:10 p.m. Saturday and release at 11:30 a.m. Monday, jail records show. His bond was $5,000. An arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday.

The probable cause statement says Foster called dispatch to report a possible drunk driver on Route MM in Morgan County and claimed they drove in and out of a ditch. The statement says he followed the victim to her home and was told by the victim to leave her property.

Dispatch allegedly told Foster to leave and heard an argument occurring, the statement says. He was at a nearby property when law enforcement arrived, the statement says.

The victim was investigated for possible driving while intoxicated, but law enforcement found no evidence, the statement says. The victim told law enforcement that she was being followed home by Foster after he honked his horn at her, the statement says. She allegedly pulled into a ditch to call a family member before calling her boyfriend, the statement says.

Foster then allegedly gave conflicting statements over whether the victim told him to leave the property, the statement says.

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – If you live in Yuma, you’ve probably noticed an increase in military aircraft buzzing through the sky lately, and for one day only, locals got a chance to see that action up close.

Yuma City Council opposes Colorado River Water transfer to other Arizona city

KYMA on October 6, 2025

Eduardo Morales

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – The Yuma City Council adopted a resolution Monday morning to oppose the permanent transfer of Colorado River Water to the town of Queen Creek, Arizona as the proposed transfer stands.

This project was proposed in 2018 with the Arizona Department of Water Resources’ opening comment at that time.

“We lose these fights, these are the fights that end the way of life in Yuma, or any of these smaller communities along the river,” said Yuma Mayor Doug Nicholls.

At first, it recommended moving over 1,000 acre feet of water from Yuma to Queen Creek per year, but now it is up to 2,000.

The council urges those in charge to consider the socio-economic and environmental impacts this could have.

“Rural Arizona would be up for sale along with that water because of the dramatic return on investments investors would be getting if this deal goes through,” said Mayor Nicholls.

The city is instead proposing an alternative where these transfers only happen if there is enough water and electric power for everyone.

The City’s Deputy Attorney Rodney Smith says this would also affect the electricity availability coming from Lake Powell and Lake Mead.

“The hydro electric power off of both of those dams is getting to the point where there’s not enough pressure, not enough water in the system to adequately produce the electricity we need for our community or really the whole of Arizona,” Smith says.

Mayor Nicholls shares how this can impact agriculture as well.

“That puts up all agricultural, all river communities, pretty much more valuable to be sold, then they are to be existing communities,” said Mayor Nicholls.

Despite the city’s resolution, the department of water resources still has to consider whether or not to continue with the project.

Alec Pascuzzi

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — Oct. 6 marked the recognition of world habitat day, an observance highlighting the state of our towns and cities.

The recognition is used to raise awareness on the importance of safe, affordable and sustainable living for all, as well as the basic right to adequate shelter.

World Habitat Day serves as a reminder that everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

“Having something with awareness like World Habitat Day that really says, ‘You know, a habitat is a place to be,’ whatever that looks like,” said Danielle Brown, the CEO of the YWCA of St. Joseph.

Brown hammered on the fact that everyone needs a place where they can feel at home and safe.

“Some people look at housing alternatively. That’s okay to a point, but we all need something and we all need a place where we can feel safe,” said Brown.

Family identifies motorcyclist in serious condition after crash with pedestrian on Highway 85

KRDO on October 6, 2025

KRDO News

FOUNTAIN, Colo. (KRDO) — Family members have identified the motorcyclist who is facing serious injuries after colliding with a pedestrian on Highway 85 last week.

Cynthia McPherson took to GoFundMe, writing that Bryce Lamb was the motorcyclist who is now facing a swelling brain and other serious injuries.

According to the Fountain Police Department, he was traveling south on South Highway 85 on Sept. 30. Police say a pedestrian was walking in the crosswalk, but against the crossing indicator.

The pedestrian was hit and killed, and police have identified her as 44-year-old Sharla Willer. Lambs’ family claims that he “swerved to miss” her. KRDO13 reached out to the Fountain Police Department, and a spokesperson said they do not have enough information at this time to confirm whether that was the case.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to the pedestrian’s family,” wrote McPherson.

As of Oct. 5, Lamb’s GoFundMe states that he is showing some activity, but still has brain swelling.

“We still have a long road ahead of us but thank you all for the prayers,” read an update on the page.
