District Attorney warns of door-to-door salesmen

Posted: March 28, 2012 - 3:47pm
Updated: March 29, 2012 - 1:07pm

Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe is reminding residents to exercise caution when encountering individuals soliciting sales or donations door-to-door. This week Police in Leawood and Overland Park received complaints regarding door-to-door magazine salesman with an out of state company.

The District Attorney's Office says that transient merchants are often required to obtain a special license to conduct business in Johnson County. They are also required to provide a three-day right to cancel any sale made to a resident at their home. Often, these businesses conduct sales in Kansas for a short period of time and then leave the area, making cancellation or resolution of complaints difficult. In some cases, citizens pay for magazines or other merchandise and never receive the product.

Your local city office can assist residents who would like to post a 'No Solicitation' sign at their home. Door-to-door salesmen are not allowed to knock on doors where there is a no solicitation sign posted.

If you or someone you know has purchased magazines or donated money to a door-to-door salesman affiliated with Allied Group, Allied Magazine Sales, Absolute Marketing or Marquis Fulfillment Agency within the last two weeks, you are asked to contact the Johnson County District Attorney's Consumer Hotline at 913-715-3003.

Woman gives birth after serious accident, remains in critical condition

Posted: February 8, 2012 - 7:14am
Updated: February 9, 2012 - 4:54pm

Related Story: Tractor Trailer involved in Gardner accident located


Update: The Kansas Highway Patrol says that 33-year-old, Nikki McClure, was driving northbound on Interstate 35 in the right lane at normal highway speeds. McClure's vehicle, a 2000 Hyundai, approached the rear of a slower moving tractor trailer, also in the right lane. The Hyundai struck the rear of the tractor trailer and left the east side of the highway. The vehicle came to a stop against a KDOT fence, while the tractor trailer continued northbound.

McClure was transported to Overland Park Regional Medical Center where she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. The baby is said to be doing just fine. McClure remains in critical but stable condition according to a statement from her husband.

Troopers continue to seek information regarding the tractor trailer which was struck in the accident. Witnesses reported that the trailer was white or gray and that the truck was white, both were described as very dirty. Troopers say the rear end protection of the trailer should have significant damage, possibly with a piece of the victim's vehicle impaled. Witnesses have reported spotting a possible tractor trailer as far north as the Missouri-Iowa state line on Interstate 35.

The Kansas Highway Patrol would like to speak with the driver and/or occupants of the involved tractor trailer, as well as anyone who might have witnessed the incident around 7 a.m., Wednesday morning. Anyone with information is asked to call Kansas Highway Patrol Lieutenant Tom Catania at 913-782-8100.




Original Story:

Emergency crews are on the scene of a serious accident in the northbound lanes of Interstate 35 near 167th Street, just north of Gardner. The accident was reported just before 7 a.m..

Johnson County Fire District No. 1 arrived on scene and reported one vehicle off of the highway with heavy damage and one person trapped in the vehicle.

Crews worked for just under 20 minutes to extricate the, 33-year-old, woman from the vehicle. The woman is also said to be 7-8 month pregnant. The Kansas Highway Patrol confirms that her injuries are critical. As of 7:30 a.m., the woman has arrived at a Kansas City area Hospital for treatment.

Law Enforcement from Gardner, Johnson County Sheriff's Office and the Kansas Highway Patrol are all in the area. Initial reports indicate that the vehicle was forced off of the roadway by or possibly struck a tractor trailer. That tractor trailer did not stop at the scene and Law Enforcement has very limited information on the involved tractor trailer.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says that it is possible the driver of the tractor trailer was unaware that an accident had occurred.

According to a statement from the Kansas Highway Patrol, the tractor trailer is described as "closed box trailer" and "evidence at the scene suggests the truck may also have icy built up on it from traveling through icy areas." The rear of the trailer should also have "significant damage to the rear end protection system." Witnesses were unable to provide a color or any significant markings on the truck or trailer. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Kansas Highway Patrol at 913-782-8100.

Kurt Irish charged

Kurt Irish - September 3, 2011
Johnson County Sheriff's Office Booking Photo

The man responsible for leading Lenexa Police in a vehicle pursuit and sparking a large area of western Shawnee to be locked down Friday afternoon is now facing a slew of charges. 


Kurt Irish, 43, has been charged with the following charges in Johnson County; Felony Aggravated Robbery, Felony Fleeing a Law Enforcement Officer, Misdemeanor Criminal Deprivation of Property, Misdemeanor Reckless Driving, Misdemeanor Drug Paraphernalia


These charges stemmed from a crime spree by Irish who is also a four-time Parole Absconder. The Aggravated Robbery allegedly occurred at Halftime Liquors, 15810 Shawnee Mission Parkway on August 19th around 8:30 p.m. Irish is said to have walked out of the store without paying for a bottle of Crown Royal. The store owner approached him in the parking lot to confront him, at that time Irish displayed a silver handgun and fled in a 1998 Ford Taurus.


The Ford Taurus that Irish fled the robbery in belongs to a relative, who loaned him the vehicle. When the vehicle was not returned to the owner, it was reported as stolen. That is where the Criminal Deprivation of Property charge stems from.


The remaining charges are from events of Friday, September 2nd. Lenexa Police spotted a man matching Irish's description driving the 1998 Ford Taurus that was reported stolen, around 10:45 a.m.. Police pursued that vehicle into Shawnee, where Irish sped up Barker Road and eventually onto a dirt driveway where the vehicle was found abandoned. This sparked a six-hour manhunt which involved K-9 teams from Shawnee, Lenexa and Olathe. Law Enforcement from surrounding agencies also took part in the search along with the FBI's Fugitive Apprehension Team. The manhunt was called off shortly before 5 p.m. Friday evening.
