Charles Wall, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, of the 12,025 crashes that have been recorded this year so far, 4,598 of them involved someone who left the scene."I'm standing right in front of her in the middle of the crosswalk, for Pete's sake," Stephen Marx, the long-time owner of Marx Hardware, said.Marx was also the victim of a hit-and-run late Tuesday afternoon.Marx was walking on the crosswalk at 14th Street and St Louis Avenue, as he does every day.

They said their kids told them a district bus driver gave them the bags, which had candy inside.Granite City police said it does not appear that the candy contained cannabis, but they are waiting on crime lab results for verification.The bags, which read “Blow Pops” on the front, also feature a marijuana leaf and a warning. The back clearly states "edibles" and lists “cannabis oil” under its ingredients. It also states, “keep away from children.”Courtesy: Samantha BeavinThe apparent mix-up has Samantha Beavin upset. Her 9-year-old son, Leo, was one of the three students on the bus to receive one of the edible bags.“It is an edibles package,” Beavin said. “It literally says it across the packaging.”Beavin said her son rides the special needs bus daily.

ST. LOUIS - It’s scary to think of the trouble that can be right in our midst, with most of us having no idea. Two women kidnapped from Florida end up being held captive at a hotel in downtown St. Louis, according to police.St. Louis police credit hotel staff for assisting officers to put an end to the frightening ordeal and say the case is sparking concerns about possible human trafficking.Around 11:30 a.m. Saturday, police received a rather bizarre call from the staff at the Hampton Inn at 333 Washington Avenue.Two women from Florida reportedly told hotel staff that they were being held captive in one of the rooms.The women, ages 21 and 36, told officers that their captors told them they were needed for a “moving” job in Florida about 10 days ago. They were instead driven to the Atlanta area and then to St. Louis, frightened about what might be next.Police did not say how long they were held at the hotel. Close Thanks for signing up!

ST. LOUIS – Relatives of an elder fraud suspect are still living in the home the feds say was taken for just $1. The defendant, Gino Rives, had an unusual response to his recent guilty plea.Rives walked out of federal court Wednesday after a judge said he could remain out on bond until he’s sentenced next March. He pleaded guilty earlier this week to financially exploiting two elderly victims.“I didn’t do nothing wrong. God knows the truth,” he said. “That’s all I feel good about saying: God knows the truth.”Why did Rives plead guilty?“I had to,” he said.The feds say the truth is what he admitted in the courtroom.“The thing that stood out the most was how he attracted individuals; how he attracted his victims,” federal prosecutor Tracy Berry said. “By going to their homes, by pretending he was a handyman, by gaining their trust, and these were individuals who didn’t have family members.” Florida kidnapping victims rescued from downtown St. Louis hotel Like on Dorisann Court in Aff...The search for would-be Ladue carjackers
