Armadillos Invading Missouri | Jefferson City News

Armadillos are officially taking over Missouri—thanks to milder winters, bug-rich soil, and warm pavement. These Mexican invaders are hopping north, digging holes, and even jumping into car undercarriages when startled. While they carry leprosy (rarely), their real nuisance?

Man Indicted for Online Exploitation | Jefferson City News

A 37-year-old man in Columbia, Travis Moreland, has been indicted on charges including attempted enticement, sex trafficking of a minor, and possession of child sex abuse material after an undercover sting operation. Authorities used a decoy posing as a 16-year-old on an adult service site, and Moreland allegedly acknowledged the decoy’s age, expressed sexual intent, and proposed meeting at a gas station—where he was arrested. Despite claiming he suspected it was a setup, Moreland admitted he knew the decoy was underage. This case underscores the relentless fight against online exploitation and the serious consequences when predators are caught.
