All Miami County Robbery/Home Invasion Suspects Now In Custody
 |
| Ruben Antonio Borden-Vasallo Cleveland Ohio |
 |
| Brian Romero, 21, of Kansas City, Kan. |
 |
| Julio Irias-Rivera, 23, of Kansas City, Mo. |
Julio Irias-Rivera, Ruben Borden-Vasallo and Brian Romero have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery that took place on the morning of July 30. According to a release from the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, two men broke into a home in the 25800 block of Old Kansas City Road on the south end of Hillsdale. The men tied up the sole resident of the home, a 62-year-old woman, then threatened her with a knife and stole cash and jewelry.
Miami County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene after the woman freed herself and called 911 at about 11:30 p.m. At about the same time, an officer of the Louisburg Police Department witnessed a vehicle run a red light. When he attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver sped away. The car stopped near 271st Street on U.S. 69 Highway, where Romero and Borden-Vasallo fled.
Irias-Rivera, 23, of Kansas City, Mo., surrendered at the end of the car chase. He was taken into custody but released later that day due to lack of probable cause connecting him to the robbery, Miami County Undersheriff Wayne Minckley said.
Borden-Vasallo and Romero were pursued over the course of the next several days north of Louisburg by multiple agencies, including the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, local police agencies, Johnson County law enforcement officials and the Kansas Highway Patrol.
At about 3:30 p.m. Aug. 1, residents at the 23300 block of Metcalf discovered their home had been broken into, and several items, including clothing, had been stolen. They reported the burglary to law enforcement authorities, who then received reports that a man matching the description of Vasallo, whose photo had been released earlier that day, was trying to hitchhike near U.S. 69 and 223rd Street.
Vasallo, 51, of Cleveland, Ohio, was captured at about 5:50 p.m. Aug. 1 and booked into the Miami County Jail on charges of aggravated robbery and burglary, with bond set at $250,000.
The search continued for Romero for more than a week, with law enforcement pursuing any potential sightings of the suspect. While the men were sought on foot, from helicopters and by K-9 units, in the end, the suspects were caught with what Minckley called “good old-fashioned police work.”
Working with the U.S. Marshall’s Service and the Overland Park Police Department to gather intelligence, the Sheriff’s Office was able to apprehend Romero and Irias-Rivera on Aug. 7 in Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo.
Romero, 21, of Kansas City, Kan., was booked into the Miami County Jail that day on charges of kidnapping, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary. His bond is set at $500,000.
Irias-Rivera was booked Aug. 8 on charges of kidnapping, aggravated robbery and obstructing the legal process or official duty — interference with law enforcement. His bond is set at $250,000.

Missouri To Put Tax On Prescription Drugs
If you live in Missouri, you could soon be taxed on prescription drugs.
Governor Jay Nixon vetoed the bill in June, but now the Republican legislature is threatening to bring it back.
House Bill 253 was the Missouri legislature's response to Kansas' move to reduce income tax by streamlining and reducing some taxes in the state. Governor Nixon’s veto of the bill wasn't the end, but the beginning of the debate.
Governor Nixon has spent the summer defending his veto of the bill which he feels harms the state. The bill came with a 42 page fiscal note about how much it would cost the state and outlines the state will bring in more than $200 million from eliminating the prescription drug exemption.
Republicans in favor of the bill say those flaws can be fixed in the next session. They've taken to the airwaves, running commercials trying to drum up public support before trying to override the veto during the September session. Nixon vows to keep up his fight to keep his veto.
