No one hurt after car crashes into Columbia daycare

Saturday, 16 February 2013 08:23 Published in Local News
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- Officials in Columbia say no injuries were reported after a car plowed into the wall of a restaurant and entertainment center for children.

The Columbia Daily Tribune reports the car ended up several feet inside the business, called Going Bonkers, after hitting a front wall around 10:20 a.m. Friday.

Columbia schools were closed Friday, and officials said about 100 children were inside Going Bonkers. The business has a large indoor playground, arcade and other attractions.

Police were investigating the cause of the crash but say the driver may have had a medical emergency. She and a boy in the car with her were both unhurt.a

Missouri woman pleads to 2009 infant death

Saturday, 16 February 2013 08:21 Published in Local News
IRONTON, Mo. (AP) -- A southeast Missouri woman will be sentenced in May for the 2009 death of an infant at her home babysitting business.

Martha Farris, of Pilot Knob, entered an Alford plea Wednesday to first-degree involuntary manslaughter in the death of 3-month-old Sam Pratt. The plea is not an admission of guilt, but acknowledges that prosecutors have sufficient evidence to gain a conviction. Attorney General Chris Koster's office prosecuted the case in Iron County. Koster's office says an autopsy showed that Sam died of non-accidental head trauma.

The attorney general says Farris told investigators she swung the baby, "plunked" him down hard on a couch and elbowed him in the head. The case prompted legislation limiting the ability of Missouri child care centers to continue operating while charges are pending.
Prosecutors are calling a case of molestation involving a Belleville martial arts instructor shocking and horrific.

20-year-old Christopher Horton allegedly video taped himself sexually assaulting at least two minors. There are few specifics in the crime, but the incidents occurred in the last 7 months. Horton faces federal and state charges and he is being held without bond. If convicted on the Federal charges, he could spend up to 60 years in prison.
