The St. Louis County Department of Public Health is urging anyone who purchased oysters from the Fruit Stand & Seafood in Manchester to throw them away, saying that a man died after consuming oysters from the business earlier this week. The 54-year-old man died on Thursday at St. Claire Hospital in Fenton from an infection of Vibrio vulnificus, a bacteria that thrives in warm, coastal waters and is carried by oysters, according to a statement from the county health department. "There is no evidence that the business did anything to contaminate the oysters, which likely were already contaminated when the establishment received them," the department said.
WOOD RIVER - Firefighters were busy Thursday night trying to contain a spread-out brush fire that Wood River Fire Chief Wade Stahlhut said extended from W. 7th Street in Hartford to the Wood River Dome. Stahlhut said the fire appeared to be caused by a spark from a rail train that went through that vicinity. Stahlhut also pointed out that with the dry conditions, this is a very dangerous time when brush and tree remnants catch fire. The fire chief said rail traffic was held up for more than two hours while firefighters worked to contain the spots of fire. He also said Wood River, Hartford, South Roxana, Roxana and Rosewood Heights firefighters battled the blazes. He added that the fire call came in at 6:15 p.m. Thursday. Chief Stahlhut commended the fire agencies who participated in battling the fires. "The fire spread quickly," Stahlhut said. "It is very dry right now. All the firefighters did a wonderful job Thursday night."

It really wouldn't be St. Louis without some kind of water issue. Since it hasn't flooded from deluges of rain in the last few days, of course a water main would break. A whole 20 inch break, in fact, according to a city notification.
A month after a serious water main break shut down all traffic on Interstate 64, there's been another break causing serious headaches in the city — this time near Lansdowne Avenue and Chippewa Street in the St. Louis Hills neighborhood. "In one split second, it went all the way to LeGrand's and up to the doors of the firehouse [across the street]," said one woman who lives in an apartment right in front of the break who asked the RFT not to print her name. She says the break occurred around 11:30 a.m. and water continued gushing for about two hours.
EDWARDSVILLE — Madison County State’s Attorney Tom Haine on Friday announced that a murder case involving the 2010 death of a man whose body was discovered in Alton has been transferred to St. Clair County for prosecution. “I thank St. Clair County State’s Attorney Jim Gomric and the other authorities in St. Clair County for their prompt action and cooperation in this case,” Haine said. Odilon Villagran-Gudino, 55, formerly of Washington Park, was charged in Madison County with robbing and fatally stabbing an acquaintance, 52-year-old Jose “Pee-wee” Randolfo Pagoada, and concealing the death. The Madison County charges were filed in 2018 under seal because Villagran-Gudino was not yet in custody. The charges remained under seal until May 19, 2023, after Villagran-Gudino was returned to Madison County from Mexico, where he had been taken into custody. The investigation continued after Villagran-Gudino’s return to Madison County, resulting
