Saturday is the start of National Safe Boating Week, and state troopers will be in Jefferson City and the Lake of the Ozarks tomorrow to inspect the required equipment on your boat to make sure you’re in compliance with state law.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s marine operations division will be at the Missouri River’s Noren access in Jefferson City from 9-11 tomorrow morning, and they’ll be at the Lake of the Ozarks state park public beach in Osage Beach from 10 to noon.

Troopers remind you that a life jacket for everyone on board is a must and that everyone born in or after 1984 who operates a vessel on Missouri lakes must possess an approved boating safety identification card.

Troopers also encourage you to be a defensive boat operator, adding that creating distance from other boats gives you more reaction time.

Mid-Missouri man under federal indictment for alleged child pornography

May 17, 2023 By Brian Hauswirth

A federal grand jury has indicted a man from mid-Missouri’s Lohman on three counts relating to producing child pornography.

Federal agents and others arrested 30-year-old Anthony Pitts-Fugate at his Lohman home in April and he remains in federal custody, pending a detention hearing. Lohman, a town of about 175 residents, is west of Jefferson City. Online court records show Pitts-Fugate also has lived in the Russellville area in the past.

Federal prosecutors say Pitts-Fugate engaged in a Kik chat group that was being monitored by an undercover law enforcement officer. Pitts-Fugate allegedly produced and sent the undercover officer a video and photo of a child being sexually assaulted.

A federal grand jury in Kansas City has indicted the suspect on one count of producing child pornography, one count of distributing child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography.

The FBI and the Cole and Boone County Sheriff’s Departments have been involved in the investigation.

You can expect heavy traffic and long waits at popular restaurants all weekend in Columbia due to Mizzou’s graduation ceremonies, which begin this afternoon.

Some of the more popular restaurants like Shakespeare’s, Harpo’s and Shiloh are normally extra-crowded on graduation weekend.

The University of Missouri says more than 6,000 students will graduate this weekend, earning more than 6,600 degrees. Some students have earned more than one degree.

Columbia Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) director Amy Schneider tells 939 the Eagle that they have some hotel rooms available for tonight and tomorrow night, but very few. Some people will have to drive to Jefferson City or Boonville for hotel rooms.

April 16, 2023 By Brian Hauswirth

The National Weather Service (NWS) in Springfield confirms an EF-2 tornado packing 122 mile-per-hour winds touched down Saturday afternoon near mid-Missouri’s Vichy. That’s about 50 miles southeast of Jefferson City, in Maries County.

Abby also reports utility crews from Three Rivers Electric Cooperative and from Gasconade Electric worked this weekend to restore power across Maries County.
