According to the Post-Dispatch, prosecutors allege that Sheriff Jeff Burkett, deputy Matthew Cozad, deputy Chase Bresnahan and a fourth man from Washington County named Donald Gaston comprised a "criminal street gang" that attempted to kidnap Gaston's daughter after Gaston got into a fight with the girl's mom over a bottle of liquor.

NSLs were only allowed to be reported in bands. And what broad bands they were. If Twitter received 20 NSLs, it had to report it as 0-499. If […]

CHICAGO - Attorney General Kwame Raoul today urged service members to be on the lookout for scammers pretending to be working for the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), and misleading individuals into sharing personal or financial information. Raoul said reported scams include imposter DFAS workers contacting service members and claiming there is an issue with the service members’ pay. The imposter DFAS worker demands confirmation of the service member’s personal information including name, rank and confirmation of their payroll deposit on www.myPay.dfas.mil, which is DFAS’s pay management website. The imposter then tells the service member they must return, by wire, gift card, or cryptocurrency, an incorrect payment the service member has received, which will immediately initiate a direct deposit of the correct amount. “Service members have worked hard for the pay and benefits they have received, while risking their lives for our country.
