Last December, a true crime saga was born from the Kansas City Chiefs' postseason when it came to light that one of the team's most recognizable superfans allegedly committed a bank robbery in Oklahoma while en route to the watch Patrick Mahomes and company play the Houston Texans. The story began in December when a man named Xavier Babudar was arrested in Bixby, Oklahoma, after robbing the Tulsa Teachers Federal Credit Union. Social media lit up with assertions that Babudar was better known as Kansas City football superfan ChiefsAholic.
A defense attorney is accusing the St. Louis County prosecutor's office of letting a personal dislike for him unduly influence the prosecution of the woman he is representing in a trial set to start next week. "If you don't like me, don't take it out on my clients," lawyer Jerryl Christmas tells the Riverfront Times, referring to the case of Jonique Borroum, 27, whose trial for assault and armed criminal action is set to begin Monday.
Both men pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit carjacking, one count of carjacking, and one count of use of a dangerous weapon to commit a crime.

You may have seen some headlines recently about some authors filing lawsuits against OpenAI. The lawsuits (plural, though I’m confused why it’s separate attempts at filing a class action lawsuit, rather than a single one) began last week, when authors Paul Tremblay and Mona Awad sued OpenAI and various subsidiaries, claiming copyright infringement in how […]
ALTON - The Great Rivers & Routes Tourism Bureau is boasting “record-breaking” tourism growth and statistics for the region, including increases in both the number of visitors and the amount of money visitors are spending during their time here. Cory Jobe, President & CEO of the Great Rivers & Routes Tourism Bureau, responded to a recent announcement from Governor J.B. Pritzker that there has been strong tourism growth state-wide - Jobe said the same is especially true for the Riverbend region. “In our Great Rivers & Routes region of Southwest Illinois, we have seen amazing tourism growth over the last 18 months,” Jobe said, adding that 2022 was a “stellar year” for the six-county region. “We saw a 6.5% increase in hotel revenues coupled with a 26% increase in visitors to Southwest Illinois.” The theme of the organization’s marketing campaign for the area has been ‘The Great Outdoors Inside the Midwest.’ Jobe

EAST ST. LOUIS - This is one of those stories that people often don't want to hear about — a story about a highly regarded athlete and how his fate was turned upside down with a summer crime spree. Such is the case of Jamariante N. Burgess, now 21, of East St. Louis. Burgess and his co-defendant, Armon R. Simpson, 19, of St. Louis, have admitted to participating in a string of violent carjackings in the Metro East. Burgess received a 192-month sentence, meaning he will serve 16 years in prison. Simpson will serve 208 months in his sentence. Both men pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit carjacking, one count of carjacking and one count of use of a dangerous weapon to commit a crime of violence. At the time of the crimes, Simpson was 17. He was certified by the Court to be treated as an adult in the case. Burgess was 19 years old at the time of the crime spree in the summer of 2021. Burgess was a member of East St. Louis' football team that went 14-0 and won a stat
In hindsight, a lot of people overestimate how many schools were closed during the pandemic. In reality, about half were fully open for the 2020-21 school year and upwards of 90% for the 2021-22 school year. And yet, the evidence so far suggests that kids fell behind considerably anyway and haven't made up any ground ...continue reading "COVID really did a number on America’s kids"
