PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kirk Cousins threw for a season-high 365 yards and four touchdowns as the Washington Redskins clinched the NFC East, beating Philadelphia 38-24. Cousins tossed his first two scoring strikes to Jordan Reed, who had nine receptions for 129 yards. DeAngelo Hall put the Skins in control by returning DeMarco Murray’s fumble 17 yards for a TD late in the third quarter about 1 1/2 minutes after Murray’s four-yard touchdown got the Eagles within 23-17.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning is vehemently refuting a report set to air on Al Jazeera that contends the Denver Broncos quarterback received human growth hormone through his wife during his recovery from neck fusion surgeries in 2011 in Indianapolis. Manning called the allegation “complete garbage and is totally made up.” The allegations surfaced in an Al Jazeera undercover probe into doping in global sports that is set to air Sunday and was shared in advance with the Huffington Post.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns linebacker Armonty Bryant will not play in Sunday’s game at Kansas City after he and safety De’Ante Saunders were arrested Christmas morning following a traffic stop. Bryant was arrested for the possession of Adderrall because he couldn’t provide a prescription for the drug, which is on the NFL’s list of banned substances. A patrol spokesman also says a gun was confiscated from Saunders’ car because Saunders does not have a permit for the weapon.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — The 12th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats are 10-2 after Tyler Ulis scored 21 points in a 75-73 triumph over No. 16 Louisville. Alex Poythress scored 14 points for Kentucky, which blew most of a 16-point, second-half lead before giving John Calipari his 200th victory as the team’s head coach. Damion Lee scored a game-high 27 points for the 11-2 but missed a potential game-winning, 3-point heave at the buzzer.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers will spend at least two weeks without forward Blake Griffin because of a partially torn left quad. The Clippers said Griffin was injured in Friday’s win over the Lakers. He is scoring a team-high 23.2 points and averaging 8.7 rebounds and five assists this season.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — State officials are moving ahead with two giant highway construction projects in northwest Iowa. The Sioux City Journal reports the Iowa Department of Transportation has received bids of nearly $127 million for widening projects on U.S. Highway 20 and Interstate 29.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — A disabled Iowa veteran says he’s considering options after his zoning request to build a new home was denied recently. Taylor Morris tells the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier he’s not sure what he will do after the Cedar Falls Planning and Zoning Commission voted Tuesday against the veteran’s plans to build a house on undeveloped land that is not served by city sewers or streets.

DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — Advocates for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse say they welcome a new state program that guards victims’ home addresses. The Telegraph Herald reports the Iowa Secretary of State’s office will begin the Safe at Home program on January 1st. It lets survivors of sexual abuse, domestic abuse, trafficking and stalking to substitute a street address on public documents, such as a driver’s license.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Donald Trump is a presidential candidate uniquely preoccupied by his portrayal in the news. And the former reality television star and tabloid king wants to control that coverage as much as possible. It’s all part of Trump’s unorthodox campaign for the Republican presidential nomination that’s been built and sustained on free press coverage and social media, instead of expensive campaign ads.

Guthrie County authorities investigate rural burglary & butchered cow incident

News

December 26th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

Sheriff’s officials in Guthrie County are investigating a burglary that occurred south of the unincorporated town of Monteith in rural Guthrie County. A car and truck are believed to be involved in incident, where a shed was broken into, near 270th and Quail Ave. The shed owner is said to have had a security camera which may provide clues as to who the culprit was.

The sheriff’s office says it is also investigating a “situation” where a cow was butchered in its pasture near 320th and Ranch Trail north of Menlo.Guthrie S-O patch The incidents, authorities say, are possibly related. The crimes transpired on Christmas Eve or early Christmas morning.

The owner of the cow, Keith Partlow, of rural Menlo, posted pictures of the slaughtered animal on his Facebook page. He said someone shot his cow as she slept and cut off her head. The animal was gutted and cut in half before the rear half was dragged to a nearby road and dressed out, according to Partlow.

If you have any information about either incident, message the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office on their Facebook page, or call the sheriff’s office at 641-747-2214.
