Riley County Arrest Report Friday Nov. 15

MANHATTAN, Kan.&nbsp;–&nbsp;Due to road construction at the intersection of Tuttle Creek Boulevard and Kimball Avenue in east Manhattan, K-State football fans arriving for Saturday’s game at Bill Snyder Family Stadium are being advised to avoid potential traffic delays by using alternate routes to the stadium.&nbsp;The intersection is open, but northbound traffic on Tuttle Creek Boulevard is impacted as one of the two westbound turn lanes onto Kimball is closed. To avoid delays at the intersection, Manhattan city officials are recommending fans continue north on Tuttle Creek to Marlatt Avenue before exiting, then utilize either Denison Avenue or College Avenue to access the parking lots around the stadium.&nbsp;Dual eastbound right turn lanes are being added to help with traffic flow from eastbound Kimball onto Tuttle Creek Boulevard. The project, which also includes updating the traffic signals and crosswalks in the area to improve safety, has begun since the Wildcats’ last home game on October 26 against Oklahoma.&nbsp;K-State hosts West Virginia on Saturday in a 2:30 p.m., contest that airs on ESPN. All parking lots around Bill Snyder Family Stadium open at 9:30 a.m., on Saturday, five hours prior to kickoff.

To gain entry, guests must display a state-issued accessible license plate or hangtag and present a disability card along with a form of personal identification. All other general public parking is limited to grass parking in Lot 9 east of the stadium, in the paved lot of the Peters Recreation Center, near the Equine Center north and east of the fire station on Denison Avenue or in private satellite lots and parking areas on campus.

By DEWEY TERRILLJC PostThe new regional crisis center that is based at 1558 Hayes Drive in Manhattan and serves a 10-county region opened on Nov. 4th. It is a 24 hour, seven-day a week facility that has 23 employees ranging from a director and therapists to mental health technicians. Pawnee Mental Health Services Executive Director Robbin Cole told the members of the Geary County Commission on Tuesday that this is an outpatient facility service where people being treated spend the night. Admission is voluntary for patients, and they’re free to leave if they do not want to remain in the facility. Cole noted that if someone has committed a crime the crisis center is not an appropriate place for them and if they are arrested they will be put in jail. Also, if healthcare is required it is not an appropriate facility for the patient. There are seven patients in the center right now, and that has been a consistent number since the third day after the 11-bed facility&nbsp;opened.&nbsp;One patient was being taken to the center from Geary County Tuesday afternoon. Cole wanted to explain the value of&nbsp;the facility to the governing body. “What I’m finding out is that commissioners generally seem to understand what it’s value is. It’s a facility that can reduce the number of people who are in our hospital’s emergency room in a mental health crisis by providing an alternative to that hospital emergency room” Cole also added that because the center can intervene in people’s lives earlier rather than later it can reduce the number of people who commit a crime during an acute mental illness.

This gift has established the Gilliland K-State Family Scholarship, which creates match opportunities for 50 scholarships in support of students in the university’s College of Business Administration. New gifts of $30,000 will be matched with $30,000 from the Gillilands’ gift. Also, $10,000 will go into an expendable scholarship fund, making $2,000 scholarships immediately available to students for up to five years. The remaining $50,000 will go into the endowment, ensuring future generations of Wildcats will receive scholarships as well. Both Otis and Wanda Gilliland graduated from Kansas State University. Otis Gilliland earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering in 1948 and a bachelor’s in business administration from the College of Business Administration in 1949. Wanda Gilliland earned her bachelor’s degree in interior design in 1949 from the College of Health and Human Sciences. Otis Gilliland worked as an engineer for Boeing Aircraft Company in Wichita&nbsp;&nbsp;before his retirement in 1985. Wanda Gilliland died in 2013, and Otis Gilliland died in July 2019. “The scholarships made possible from the Gilliland family’s gift will have a profound impact on our student body,” said Kevin Gwinner, Edgerley family dean of the College of Business Administration. “With these scholarships, we will attract more student leaders, further challenge high-achieving students, and fully engage those who desire our unique academic offerings and extracurricular experiences that make our business graduates so highly demanded by employers. Because these scholarships will be endowed, the Gillilands’ generosity toward the business college will be felt for generations.”

The day began with a veterans breakfast hosted by the American Legion Post 17, followed by the annual parade and a commemorative program at Peace Memorial Auditorium. Veterans Day originated as Armistice Day and marked the end of hostilities of World War I that occurred at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. So the day is always recognized on Nov. 11th. The Flint Hills Veterans Coalition works in partnership with the Kansas State Army ROTC, Fort Riley, USO and other organizations on the parade.

Traffic will continue to be restricted to one lane through the work zone, controlled by a traffic signal. Reconstruction of the northbound lane will begin Nov. 18 and continue through February 2020. Once the first phase of the project, from the Kansas River to the railroad is completed, work will begin on phase two in late February, from the roundabout at Ray Rd. to the river bridge.Throughout the project, traffic will be limited to one lane through the work zone, controlled by a traffic signal.

MANHATTAN, Kansas (AP) — Kansas State hasn’t started games as well as coach Bruce Weber had hoped, despite Wednesday’s 73-54 win over Monmouth.The Wildcats have been outscored in the first half 74-57 through three contests this year and trailed at the half in every game.But somehow, they are still undefeated.“We’re a young team and we’ve won by two decent margins and against decent teams,” Weber said. “We’ve just got to learn and grow from it.”Xavier Sneed scored 15 points and had six rebounds and Makol Mawien nearly had his second double-double of the season scoring 11 points and pulling in nine rebounds. Freshman Montavious Murphy had a career-high eight points.Ray Salnave had 20 points and five rebounds while Mustapha Traore scored five points and had 10 rebounds in the losing effort.Even more first half woes for Kansas State is 3-point shooting- making only one 3 in the first 20 minutes of games this season.“If you haven’t figured it our we’re one for 32 from 3 in the first half this year,” Weber said.Weber and Murphy said they think the speed of the game and a young team are partially to blame on the slow starts.“We come out and just take things for granted and then come and play hard in the second half,” Murphy said. “I think we need to start doing that to start and lock in.”Kansas State’s defense forced 25 turnovers scoring 21 points off those mistakes. The Wildcats 17 steals tied for the third-most in a game in school history.The Wildcats (3-0) won the game in the paint outscoring the Hawks 38-20 as Kansas State seemed to be bigger and faster against the Hawks.“They are big, strong guys,” Monmouth coach King Rice said. “There’s a lot of bumps in the game and it takes a lot out of our legs.”Monmouth (1-2) closed the first half on a 14-4 run after a layup at buzzer by Traore to lead 29-20 at the break.“Our guys started making it a one-on-one game and that’s when they got us down by a bunch,” King said. “I think some of you guys might have been shocked, but I’m a head coach and this is college basketball. Anything can happen in this game.”Sneed opened the second half with a 3, starting a 9-0 run for the Wildcats, which tied the game. K-State scored 23 of the first 27 points in the second half and cruised to victory from there.

Coach Gary Patterson acknowledged the departure of Delton during his weekly news conference Tuesday. The transfer from Kansas State was named a team captain at the beginning of the season and started the first two games for the Horned Frogs. Patterson said Delton obviously wanted to play more. Freshman Max Duggan has started the past six games. Duggan is dealing with an injured middle finger on his throwing hand sustained in Saturday’s 34-27 loss at Oklahoma State. Michael Collins came in for Duggan and took a hard shot to the midsection on TCU’s last offensive play. Patterson said he thinks Duggan will play Saturday against No. 11 Baylor, but that Collins probably won’t for the Frogs (4-4). In his career at Hays High, Delton was a two-year starter at quarterback for the Indians, completing more than 55 percent of his passes for 1,978 yards, 26 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also rushed for 1,369 yards and 21 touchdowns. — Hays Post contributed to this report

Rolland Kobelo pleaded guilty Thursday to aggravated robbery and distribution of Xanax. The plea deal calls for him to be sentenced to 10 years in prison. Kobelo was initially charged with felony murder in the death of 17-year-old Rowan Padgett in March. Authorities say Padgett was shot during an unsuccessful drug deal for $8 of Xanax. Prosecutors accuse the would-be buyer, 18-year-old Matthew Lee Bibee Jr. of shooting Padgett. Bibee faces several charges, including capital murder. Jordan Denny, who was 16 at the time, is also charged with felony murder. Kobelo admitted that he helped set up the drug deal.

Yovanovitch is expected to testify about her ouster, which another diplomat has called a “smear” campaign against her by Trump allies. The live public hearings by the House Intelligence Committee are being held to determine whether Trump should be removed from office over his actions toward Ukraine. The investigation centers on Trump’s July 25 phone call when he asked the new Ukraine president for a favor — to investigate Democrats and potential 2020 rival Joe Biden — as the White House was withholding military aid to the Eastern European nation. Yovanovitch and others have described Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, as leading what one called an “irregular channel” outside the diplomatic mainstream of U.S.-Ukraine relations. __ -------------The former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine has arrived on Capitol Hill to testify in the Trump impeachment inquiry. Marie Yovanovitch is the witness for the second day of public hearings. She’s expected to tell lawmakers about her sudden ouster as President Donald Trump recalled the career ambassador back to the United States. Other diplomats testifying in the investigation have defended Yovanovitch, saying she was the target of “smear” campaign by the president’s allies. She has served both Democratic and Republican presidents. The rare impeachment inquiry is focused on Trump’s actions toward Ukraine. Democrats say it amounts to bribery, as the president withheld military aid to Ukraine while he pushed the country to investigate rival Democrats, including Joe Biden. Trump calls the probe a hoax and says he did nothing wrong.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The four Catholic dioceses in Kansas will not support expanding Medicaid to thousands more low-income adults and children unless the state passes a constitutional amendment and new laws restricting abortion, the head of the Kansas Catholic Conference said. Chuck Weber, the group’s executive director, told a joint House and Senate committee on Wednesday that the dioceses in Dodge City, Salina, Wichita and Kansas City, Kansas, want an amendment to the state constitution to clarify that it does not include a right to abortion, in response to a Kansas Supreme Court&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/3f479b218a6140719e1694fcfcdb8036" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(28, 167, 218);">ruling</a>&nbsp;last year that the constitution protects that right. The dioceses also are seeking a law allowing medical professionals or health facilities to decline to perform certain procedures for religious reasons. Hundreds of thousands of Kansans are members of the Catholic church and, on social issues, it is influential with conservative Republicans, who hold the top leadership positions in the GOP-controlled Legislature.Weber’s statements came as the committee ended two days of hearings on expanding Medicaid to 130,000 low-income adults and children in Kansas. Medicaid currently covers about 342,000 low-income, elderly and disabled Kansas residents. Rep. Brenda Landwehr, a Wichita Republican who chairs the committee, said Wednesday that the panel won’t advance a bill on Medicaid expansion to this year’s Legislature and won’t recommend passage of a bill. The committee’s decision to not advance a bill is not binding and lawmakers are still expected to take up Medicaid expansion in this year’s session. Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly has made Medicaid expansion one of her top priorities for the upcoming session. Her Republican predecessors, Govs. Sam Brownback and Jeff Colyer, successfully blocked expansion by the GOP-led Legislature. During last year’s legislative session, the House passed an expansion bill that was not acted on by the Senate. A special Senate committee in October&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/3cca5e22014345f483b5815d428483f9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(28, 167, 218);">endorsed</a>&nbsp;an alternative developed by Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning of Overland Park. The committee did approve a motion by Rep. Will Carpenter, R-El Dorado, that would prohibit Medicaid expansion from broadening access to abortion and would allow health care providers to refuse to provide patient care, such as birth control, based on the providers’ personal beliefs. “You don’t care about religious beliefs of patients?” said Sen. Barbara Bollier, a Mission Hills Democrat running for the U.S. Senate.“I’m not concerned with that,” Carpenter said. Lee Norman, a physician and secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said a religious exemption in Kansas could be “perilous” and that placing ethical boundaries on Medicaid could make it difficult to attract health care providers. The joint committee also voted to add a requirement that Medicaid applicants who are able must work at least 20 hours per week or enroll in 12 credit hours of college courses to be eligible. The federal government has approved work mandates for other states but all have been blocked by the courts. April Holman, executive director of the Alliance for a Health Kansas — the state’s largest coalition supporting Medicaid expansion — said the House bill and Senate committee proposal required low-wage people signing up under Kansas’ expanded Medicaid system to pay monthly insurance premiums that could be difficult to afford. She also questioned a provision in the House bill that permanently locks out of Medicaid any person who misses three premium payments and the Senate committee’s preference to lock people out for six months if a premium payment was missed.
