KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Kansas City Chiefs have released wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, cutting ties with one of the most high-profile free-agent signings made by general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid.
The unexpected move Friday came after the Chiefs wrapped up the second week of voluntary workouts. Maclin had been a regular at the Chiefs’ practice facility this offseason, and he recently got married – with Reid and a number of his teammates in attendance.
Maclin was entering the third year of a $55 million, five-year contract with Kansas City. It was a deal that became especially costly when the Chiefs found guilty of tampering in their pursuit of him and were stripped of two draft picks and received a fine.
HOUSTON (AP) – Mitchell Boe, Iowa’s No. 9 hitter, had a pair of run-scoring hits and the Hawkeyes knocked off top-seeded Houston 6-3 in the first round of the Houston Regional on Friday night.
Robert Neustrom broke a 2-2 tie with an RBI single in the fifth for the No. 4 seed Hawkeyes (39-20), who will play Texas A&M on Saturday night. The Cougars (40-20) will face Baylor in an elimination game between former Southwest Conference foes.
Boe’s RBI double put Iowa up 2-0 in the fourth, and his single made it 5-3 in the eighth. Ben Norman, the No. 8 hitter, went 3 for 3 and scored two runs.
Ryan Erickson (4-3) gave up three runs – two earned – in five innings for the Big Ten Tournament champions. Josh Martsching struck out four over the final 2 2/3 innings for his eighth save.
Houston ace Trey Cumbie (10-2) allowed a season-high 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings, and three of the four runs against him were earned.
The Adams County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest of a Nodaway man after being called to a disturbance early Saturday morning. At 1:20am Deputies responded to the disturbance in Nodaway. 44-year-old Shawn Dale Kammerer was arrested for Domestic Abuse Assault 2nd Offense, Possession of a Controlled Substance 1st Offense (Methamphetamine), Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Unlawful Possession of Prescription Drugs. Kammerer is being held without bond until seen by a Magistrate.
The Adams County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest of a Creston man on multiple charges this past Sunday. On May 28th at 1:24pm Adams County Deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a red Buick Regal because it was not displaying license plates. The vehicle failed to stop and fled westbound on Highway 34 from the Redwood Avenue intersection at approximately 96 miles per hour. Later the vehicle turned southbound onto Quince Avenue and pulled into a driveway. The driver jumped out of the vehicle and became very hostile. The driver resisted but was eventually taken into custody.
It was determined the driver was 33-year-old Steven Lamar of Creston. Lamar was charged with two counts of Assault on Persons Engaged in Certain Occupations, Possession of Stolen Property, Interference with Official Acts, Possession of a Controlled Substance (Marijuana), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. It was also determined the vehicle was stolen from Creston and was later returned to its owner. The case remains under investigation.
