Braden

Last Wednesday, the Bates County Sheriff’s Office along with members of the Butler Police Department and CNET Drug Task Force swung into action commencing Operation Weed and Seed.  The Sheriff’s Office concluded multiple drug investigations that spanned over 4 months long.  Operation Weed and Seed roundup was selected to take place on 4/20.  April 20 seems to be significant to marijuana users because the numbers 420 is often referred to when talking about marijuana.  The Roundup portion of the operation began at approximately 4:20pm.  Law Enforcement Officers began to converge on the residence of the suspects wanted for multiple drug charges stemming from the investigations.

Both were transported to Bates County Memorial Hospital for treatment; the vehicle received extensive damage.

Get ready for a noisy Spring...

(Missouri) -- In a matter of weeks, Missouri will see a major emergence of cicadas. That's the word from the Missouri Department of Conservation.

It says by early May, the 13-year cicadas will emerge from hibernation much earlier than their "dog-day" cicada counterparts that typically arrive in late summer.

The department says the periodical cicadas spend 13 years in the ground feeding on sap from tree roots before emerging en masse.

The 13-year cicada is much smaller, but noticeably louder. They'll gather in trees over a single acre chanting their mating calls.

They have dark bodies and reddish eyes.

The last time the Show-Me State saw the 13-year cicadas was in 1998 -- a particularly large brood.

This go-round, they're expected to cover most of the state. The department says the Bootheel and parts of northwest Missouri will escape them.

The noise will likely be gone by June.
