Popular St. Louis rapper Arthur Pressley, better known as 30 Deep Grimeyy was sentenced in federal court today to more than 7 1/2 years in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm. The felon-in-possession charge, which Pressley pleaded guilty to last October, stemmed from a January 5, 2021, police stop during which Pressley and three other men in a 2008 Pontiac G8 were pulled over in north city.

GODFREY - Godfrey’s Bethany Bohn has spent her adult life serving and assisting others. She began her tenure as the Village of Godfrey deputy clerk in 2012 and in 2020 she was elected to the village’s clerk position. Bethany has battled cancer since January 2019 and has accumulated a staggering amount of medical bills during that time. Her family is now in need of help because of the financial strain of treatment for her condition. A GoFundMe has been established for her to help lessen her medical debt to eliminate stress in the future for her three children Jake, Madison, and Piper, and husband, John.

ST. LOUIS - The legendary “Beatle Bob” Robert Matonis recently ended his concert streak around the St. Louis area that started on Christmas Day, 1996. Matonis has always been visible at the side of the stage dancing at concert venues across the St. Louis region. If “Beatle Bob” attended a concert, a band knew they were on the right track and in some ways, had made it. Beatle Bob’s streak continued for 9,439 days, which does not include 85 days during the COVID-19 Pandemic when concerts were not happening in town. The feat, when one thinks about it, is beyond remarkable. Matonis is a huge part of the St. Louis entertainment culture and folklore. Bob is now 70 years old and announced recently he had to spend a few days at Barnes-Jewish Hospital for treatment, which sidelined his concert streak. He also said he has been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease in February 2021 and has not been able to dance at some of the recent concerts he attended. A
