Monticello woman flown to Fort Wayne hospital after Cass County collision
Deputies from the Cass County Sheriff's Office, Fire District 1 and Emergency Medical Services were dispatched Tuesday morning after Central Dispatch was notified of a two-vehicle crash around 7:32 a.m. During their initial assessment at the intersection of County Roads 825 West and 250 North, the officers found an eastbound minivan struck a northbound SUV. The intersection was restricted for investigation and vehicle removal for roughly an hour. According to a press release from the Sheriff's Department, Deputy Caine Padgett's preliminary investigation found 55-year-old Helen Hayes of Monticello had been driving a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country and failed to yield the right of way to a 2019 Jeep Cherokee driven by 28-year-old Anna Chapel of rural Logansport. There were two children in the Jeep, a 2-year-old and a 6-year-old, who were properly restrained in child seats. The children, along with Chapel, received non-life-threatening injuries and were transported by Cass County Emergency Medical Services to Logansport Memorial Hospital. Hayes, however, sustained serious injuries and was flown to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne via a medical helicopter. Neither alcohol nor narcotics are believed to be a factor in the crash. The Cass County Sheriff's Office is still investigating the crash. The department has asked for anyone with additional information to contact its office at 574-753-7800.

$40,000 of original work missing from Missouri artist after trailer stolen
GRANDVIEW, Mo. — Multiple law enforcement agencies are investigating after a local artist said her UTV, trailer and thousands of dollars' worth of original artwork were all stolen off her property in Cleveland, Missouri. Grandview police recovered the trailer outside the O'Reilly Auto Parts store. 700 residents impacted by Aspen Place Condemnation in Gardner, Kansas Owner Beth Houts said the more than $40,000 worth of original artwork and equipment that was inside is nowhere to be found. 'I immediately started crying because it was all my life's work,' Houts said. 'I put in blood, sweat and tears in my work, making the handmade pieces. So, it was devastating.' Houts is a wildlife photographer. She travels the country capturing and creating original pieces, some of which you may have spotted in places like the Lowes Kansas City Hotel. She said more than $40,000 worth of artwork and equipment was inside her trailer, which was sitting on her land in Cleveland, Missouri. She said in April, thieves stole her UTV, trailer and the original artwork inside. Houts said she found out when a stranger sent her a message on Facebook, asking if she was missing a trailer. Houts told police someone saw the trailer in Grandview, near E. 151st Street and Barat Avenue, just east of 71 Highway. 'They had painted over my logo on the trailer,' Houts said. 'Because it had my website, my phone number, all of my information on it.' Grandview police said they confirmed the Cass County Sheriff's Office was investigating a trailer theft. About an hour later, police said a Grandview officer found the trailer outside the O'Reilly Auto Parts store. Police said they contacted three people, and arrested one suspect, who's been transferred to another jurisdiction for warrants. Days later, someone sent Houts the location of her stolen UTV. Kansas City police said they recovered the vehicle near E. 75th Terrace and Manchester Avenue. 'He had proof that he had purchased it on Facebook Marketplace,' Houts said.

Houts wasn't able to display all her work at the East of Oak Art Fest last weekend, cutting into her income. Houts said she typically makes thousands of dollars at these art shows. Trey Sabates is the owner of Brookside Wine and Spirits. Their team set Houts up with a table at the event and GoFundMe page to support.
