WAKEENEY — The WaKeeney Police Department has reported that the grenades found in a residential garage were disposed of Thursday evening.
The WPD said a special explosive ordinance disposal squad was dispatched from McConnell Air Force base near Wichita Thursday afternoon after the discovery of two World War II-era grenades in the 300 block of Warren.

The unit exploded the devices at 11 p.m. at the shooting range. The WPD, Trego County Sheriff’s Office, Kansas Highway Patrol, EMS and fire department all assisted in the operation.

“The home is now safe and there was at no time any danger to the public,” the WPD said in a social media report. “Thank you very much to all responders for your support.”

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A man has been sentenced to 41 years and three months in prison for kidnapping and raping a suburban Kansas City sheriff’s deputy with the help of another man.

26-year-old William Luth, of Blue Springs, Missouri, was sentenced Thursday after the prosecutor read a statement from the deputy in which she described “two hours of hell.” The deputy wasn’t in uniform when she was abducted in October 2016 from the parking lot of a detention center in Olathe, Kansas, while headed to work. She was released in the Missouri suburb of Lee’s Summit.

Charges in the attack also are pending against Brady Newman-Caddell. Luth and Newman-Caddell also are charged with sexual assaulting a Missouri woman while her 2-year-old daughter was in the same bed.
