In 1995, St. Louis County prosecutor Doug Sidel won a life sentence against Gary Muehlberg for murdering an acquaintance named Kenneth “Doc” Atchison whom Muehlberg lured to his house under the pretense of selling him a car.

Much like my exes, the Saint Louis Zoo has decided it cannot handle a strong-willed individual and decided to part ways with Ben the Andean Bear. Ben, who escaped his enclosure twice during his time in St. Louis, will be moved to a zoo in Texas. The zoo is citing his “unique personality” as a reason for the move, which is code for too much to handle.

ALTON - At their March 20 meeting, the Alton Committee of the Whole unanimously voted down a laid-over resolution that would have required each City official/employee to complete a training session concerning the “prohibited activities” of their positions and the “rules of ethical conduct” for each City official/employee.
