1. One of the Investigators of the 2018 criminal case against former Governor Greitens accepted a plea deal on Wednesday. Mr. Tisaby was charged with perjury and evidence tampering. He pleaded guilty to one count of evidence tampering and was sentenced to one-year probation with possible discharge after three months. (KMOV4)
2. Robbery victims waited three hours to reach a 911 dispatcher on Tuesday. The victims were robbed at gunpoint in a downtown convenience store at 10:25 a.m. but were unable to report the robbery until 1:30 p.m., according to the police. Wait times for 911 callers have become a common issue in the past year for St. Louis citizens. (KSDK.com)
