A former Hudson, Wis., police officer resigned this year after he admitted to using police resources for nearly 100 sexual encounters and spending about half his work-time making personal phone calls, according to data released by police. Eight-year department veteran John Worden signed a resignation agreement May 3 — about two weeks after he admitted to violating numerous policies, according to documents released last month by the Hudson Police Department. Worden’s last day was May 13. In an internal investigation summary, Hudson Police Lt....
WILLMAR, Minn. -- Before he was sentenced Monday to 30 days in jail, the former treasurer of the West Central Ag Sales Association apologized to the judge for swindling the group out of $50,000. “My intent was to pay it back,” said Robert Craig Starz, 66, who pleaded guilty in June to felony theft by swindle in Kandiyohi County District Court. “I’m making every effort to pay it as fast as I can.” Per the plea agreement, he brought an envelope containing $15,000 to the sentencing, much of it in cash. The money is the first part of the $49,803 h...

PHILADELPHIA — On a night awash in history, Hillary Clinton triumphantly became the first woman to lead a major American political party toward the White House, breaking through a barrier that painfully eluded her eight years ago. She put an electrifying cap on the Democratic convention's second night, appearing by video from New York and declaring to cheering delegates, "We just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet." Minutes earlier, former President Bill Clinton took on the role of devoted political spouse, declaring his wife an i...
WASECA, MINN. – John LaDue walked out of the Waseca County courthouse on Tuesday free of probation, but with a felony officially on his record. The Waseca teen who had planned a massacre at his school more than two years ago chose to forgo up to 10 years of voluntary probation for his crime in exchange for a felony conviction. LaDue pleaded guilty last fall to one count of possessing an explosive device. Initially he agreed to the voluntary probation in an attempt to keep a felony conviction off his record. If he successfully met the terms o...
A Scott County judge has been reprimanded for his behavior in court — and it’s not the first time. The Minnesota Board on Judicial Standards on Tuesday publicly reprimanded Judge Rex Stacey, saying he had made “accusatory, hostile and discourteous comments” to litigants in two separate cases. “The effect of conduct such as Judge Stacey’s is to cause litigants to lose confidence in the fairness of the judicial system,” a memorandum from the board said. http://www.startribune.com/scott-county-judge-reprimanded-for-accusatory-h...
Sometimes Jeff Mattson describes it as “the doldrums” — the gloomy period he endured last winter after retiring from the U.S. Postal Service. He had been delivering mail for 31 years. He liked his co-workers, enjoyed the work, was good at it. He recalls those days — even the day he delivered mail in an 80-below windchill — with fond humor. But he was fully vested in the Postal Service’s pension plan. So he retired last August, just after turning 62. Over the fall, he kept busy doing home-maintenance projects at his daughter’s house in Iowa...
A pregnant woman is the third person to have died from the consequences of a passing maneuver on a southern Dakota County highway last week that ended in a crash that also killed her husband behind the wheel and the couple's 1-year-old daughter.

She died two days later, according to the Ramsey County medical examiner's office. Also killed in the crash was her...
PHILADELPHIA – Abdul Ahmed, a Somali-American state employee from Coon Rapids, had no strong desire to be a delegate to the Democratic National Convention until his politics-loving 10-year-old son intervened. The boy urged along his father in successful runs for district and then state convention delegate. “At the state convention, he said, ‘I know you didn’t campaign for national so do you mind if I campaign for you?’ ” Ahmed recalled Tuesday, seeming still a little amazed to be here. “Long story short: I ended up with the highest vote....

Supervisors in Allegheny Township, Blair County, have approved letting their insurance company pay Joshuaa Brubaker, the Altoona Mirror first reported Friday.

A Pennsylvania man was arrested in 2014 for flying a upside down, spray-painted flag off of his front porch. Joshua Brubaker later sued the township of Allegheny for the arrest, arguing that the flag was not desecration, but an exercise of his civil rights. The Altoona Mirror reports Friday that the township has settled the lawsuit, agreeing to pay Mr. Brubaker $55,000. Allegheny Township Police Assistant Chief L.J. Berg seized the flag as evidence on May 12, 2014 and charged Brubaker with “desecration of flag,” a third-degree misdemeanor and...

"I think we're going to see a convention that is night and day to the convention last week," Cherokee Nation Principal...

DNC. Day 1. No press credentials. Hot and humid. Sweat on my brow and back. “No hope of a press pass,” the handlers say. To hell with waiting. “Where are the protesters?” I ask. City Hall, they said. I elbow through a parade of middle-aged demonstrators in downtown Philly. Hillary haters. They gum up the sidewalk. Stuck again. Sun barrels down. “Where are you?” a text reads. “I don’t know,” I respond. “But bring a lawyer.” A Hillary fan and a Bernie Bro battle it out on the curb. Newsmen and women scramble to eavesdrop. Mics in faces. Both s...
About half a dozen tents were set up outside the Manitoba Legislative Building by protesters who say the province is keeping a national inquiry into murdered and missing Indigenous women from getting underway. Last week, Brian Pallister's Progressive Conservative government said it is moving forward with an order in council in support of the inquiry, but officials are still in negotiations with the federal government over the terms of reference. "Now that the inquiry has been called, it feels like Manitoba is stalling. We seem to be the ones...
