Prison officials did not disclose how many inmates received treatment in the health care unit of the prison and 18 staff members at John A. Graham Correctional Center were taken to an area hospital for treatment. Illinois State Police also disclosed that preliminary tests for suspicious substances came back negative for narcotics, but returned results for nasal spray with acetaminophen, paracetamol, and baby powder.

A Missouri state representative and state senator from St. Charles have filed legislation in their respective chambers to hold persons or businesses responsible for contaminating public water systems.

Clergy from various faiths filed a lawsuit in the St. Louis Circuit Court today arguing that Missourians have a right to exercise their freedom of religion — which includes abortion. The lawsuit is a slap against the Missouri legislature’s overall “explicit preference” for some religious beliefs about abortion over others.

He was identified as 27-year-old John Addison.

A jail in southeast Missouri that allegedly was operated with no guards for more than half of the day and left an extension cord in easy reach of a suicidal inmate must now pay $900,000 to the family of a detainee who died in the jail's custody. The lawsuit was brought by Maud Smith, mother of Adrian Smith, a 37-year-old who took his own life while at the Reynolds County Jail on November 19, 2018. Smith had two children, and the lawsuit was brought on their behalf.

TSA officials seized a record-high number of guns at airport checkpoints nationwide last year. Missouri also reached an all-time high in guns taken at airports.
