A plea hearing for Sloan took place Friday morning in Wyandotte County District Court.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — FOX4 took our first of the year to Clinton, a town located in Henry County, 90 minutes from downtown Kansas City. First platted in the 1830s, Clinton was a popular pathway for pioneers heading west. The town's railways brought in more visitors and boosted local businesses. Missouri counties denied state aid for tornado damage However, Clinton wasn't officially incorporated as a town until the late 1870s. Developments, including water, electricity, and roads, did not emerge until the 1880s-90s. In 2007, Clinton added the downtown square to the National Register of Historic Places. Unfortunately, the square has been the site of three known tragic events. In 1876, a fire tore through several budlings. Iconic KCK burger drive-in reopens under new ownership In 1946, an explosion at a refrigerator store caused severe damage to the south side of the square, and in June of 2006, the 'Elk's Lodge' located on the square collapsed.
