Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:49:46 GMT

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – Residents in a south St. Louis County municipality say they’re being overrun by 18-wheelers and other large trucks. The problem is that their street is being used as a detour by the big trucks, creating a huge danger for families.“(Back in) February, my Acadia was parked here. Some semi came down, took my Acadia, drug it down Patsy (Drive). I mean, $30,000 in damage. … It’s unsafe for people who walk their dogs, it’s unsafe for kids cause they fly through here. There’s no regard for law,” Stephanie Jones said.Residents say they’ve had the problem of traffic cutting through for years, but things have gotten worse since the Missouri Department of Transportation's construction project along Interstate 55 and Green Park Road."The MoDOT detour includes 'no truck' signs at residential streets to route truck traffic to Route 21 in that area," MoDOT said in a statement. "Some trucks may be routed there via GPS, but signage is in place." 1 child dead, 4 people injur...

Under the Safe-T Act, Illinois prosecutor says jail population will see 'short-term dip'

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:49:46 GMT

MADISON COUNTY, Ill. – One month after the SAFE-T Act took effect, more accused criminals are going free in Illinois. But in a strange twist, the new law may ultimately end up having the opposite effect.Michael Perham, 52, was charged with first-degree murder last month for allegedly shooting his girlfriend in the back in Troy, Illinois. Under state law then, he was able to post $100,000 cash to be freed on $1 million bail.But under the new SAFE-T Act, which eliminates cash bail, Perham may be headed back to jail but with no bail this time.“If that were the only thing the SAFE-T Act did—made it easier to detain murder suspects—I would have been all for it. But we file approximately 4,000 felonies-a-year,” Madison County State’s Attorney Tom Haine said.Haine, who is prosecuting the Perham case, would not discuss specifics about pending cases but said he’s filed a motion to detain Perham with no bond under the new law.The motion speaks volumes. It says Perham shot girlfriend Maha Tiim...
