Man sentenced for
armed campus robbery
Judge Kay Huff.
A 21-year-old Missouri man who robbed a student at gunpoint on campus in 2009 was sentenced for aggravated robbery Tuesday by District
Mykel Dantae Karlyle was sentenced to 61 months, or more than five years, in prison, with a 222-day jail credit and a 15 percent time
Karlyle
reduction for good behavior
Karlyle robbed a student of marijuana April 29, 2009, in a parking lot near McCollum Hall. Prosecutors said Tuesday the victim planned on selling the drugs that were taken by Karlyle at gunpoint.
Karlyle entered a no-contest plea to the charge on Jan. 11.
Karlyle is serving a concurrent sentence of 18 months for a parole violation. Shawnee County court records show he also faces charges there for aggravated robbery and aggravated battery. He is scheduled to enter a plea in those cases March 1.
Huff reminded Karlyle that he will have to register as a violent offender for 15 years after his prison time is served.
Huff waived court costs because of the amount of time Karlyle will be in prison, and he was not ordered to pay restitution in the case.
Karlyle did not speak, but his attorney, Matthew Works, spoke on his behalf. "It was a bad situation in which poor judgment was illustrated," Works said. "He will not be involved with these kinds of things in the future."

Terrance Anthony Dean, the 21-year-old co-defendant in the case, is scheduled for sentencing Feb.28 at 9 a.m.
DEFENSE
Obama administration might cut nuclear force
ASSOCIATED PPRESS
Even the most modest option now under consideration would be an historic and politically bold disarmament step in a presidential election year, although the plan is in line with President Barack Obama's 2009 pledge to pursue the elimination of nuclear weapons.
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is weighing options for sharp new cuts to the U.S. nuclear force, including a reduction of up to 80 percent in the number of deployed weapons. The Associated Press has learned.
No final decision has been made, but the administration is considering at least three options for lower total numbers of deployed strategic nuclear weapons cutting to: 1,000 to 1,100; 700 to 800, and 300 to 400, according to a former government official and a congressional staffer. Both spoke on condition of anonymity in order to reveal internal administration deliberations.
A level of 300 deployed strategic nuclear weapons would take the U.S. back to levels not seen since 1950 when the nation was ramping up production in an arms race with the Soviet Union. The U.S. numbers peaked at above 12,000 in the late 1980s
The potential cuts would be from a current treaty limit of 1,550 deployed strategic warheads.
A spokesman for the White House's National Security Council, Tommy VIetor, said Tuesday that the options developed by the Pentagon have not yet been presented to Obama.
The U.S. could make further weapons reductions on its own but is seen as more likely to propose a new round of arms negotiations with Russia, in which cuts in deployed weapons would be one element in a possible new treaty between the former Cold War adversaries.
and first dropped below 5,000 in 2003.
Even small proposed cuts are likely to draw heavy criticism from Republicans who have argued that a smaller nuclear force would weaken the U.S. at a time when Russia, China and others are strengthening their nuclear capabilities. They also argue that shrinking the American arsenal would undermine the credibility of the nuclear "umbrella" that the United States provides for allies such as Japan, South Korea and Turkey, who might otherwise build their own nuclear forces.
The administration last year began considering a range of possible future reductions below the levels agreed in the New START treaty with Russia that took effect one year ago. Options are expected to be presented to Obama soon. The force levels he settles on will form the basis of a new strategic nuclear war plan to be produced by the Pentagon.

CORRECTION
Tuesday's article "Bus route changes will aid students" said the city of Lawrence would help fund a new SafeBus route and gave an incorrect route for proposed Route 19. The only bus route that the city helps support monetarily is Route 11 and the proposed Route 19, and the proposed Route 19 would not run to Daisy Hill. The proposed SafeBus route would run from West Lawrence to downtown.
