Diversion sought in high school prank
STATE
SALINA — Several former students at a Kansas high school are seeking diversion after a prank that left part of the school smelling like a skunk.
Nine graduates of Ell-Saline High School in Salina were originally charged as juveniles or adults with criminal damage to property and criminal trespass.
Authorities canceled school on May 11 after discovering that the first and second floors of the building were covered with straw and smelled of skunk spray. The doors were also locked from the inside.
The Salina Journal reports that the students must pay a total of more than $2,600 to pay for the cost of having the carpets cleaned.
LAWRENCE — A trial has begun in a lawsuit filed by a woman whose husband suffered a fatal accident while riding a bus for Kansas State University sports fans.
Trial begins in fatal fan bus accident
The Cat Tracker bus was carrying K-State football fans to a game at the University of Kansas when the accident occurred in November 2006.
John Green of Shawnee was standing on the bus's upper deck when the bus went below an overpass. Green's head struck the overpass.
Jury selection began Tuesday in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Green's widow in Douglas County District Court, according to reports.
