Tip about pornography leads to arrest

Salinan arrested on child porn charges

A tip about child pornography on a computer led to the arrest of a Salina man on charges of sexual exploitation of a child.

James E. Miller, 38, 618 Ralph, was arrested Friday morning.

Deputy Salina Police Chief Carson Mansfield said police received a tip Jan. 16 about images on a computer. They seized the computer and sent it to the Heartland Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory in Kansas City, and alleged pornographic images were found.

Mansfield said it appeared that the images had been downloaded from the Internet.

Semi driver escapes injury in rollover

The driver of a tractor-trailer hauling railroad ties escaped serious injury Friday afternoon when his truck rolled into the median on Interstate Highway 70 in Salina.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the truck was headed west on I-70 and had just crossed under the Ohio Street overpass when a right rear tire on the truck blew. The truck swerved into the median, spun to face back east and came to rest on its right side.

The driver, whose name was not immediately released, was hanging from his seatbelt when rescuers arrived, and was walking around afterward.

Dental board repeals rule on testing issue

TOPEKA -- A state regulatory board repealed a rule Friday that threatened to deny licenses to most of the prospective Kansas dentists in this year's graduating class at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

The Kansas Dental Board's plan to reconsider a policy it imposed only six months ago touched off a debate over whether repealing the rule would endanger public health. The policy dealt with the scores a prospective dentist must receive on one of two professional exams.

University faculty and students appealed to the board after 19 of the 32 graduating students who had hoped to obtain a Kansas license failed to meet the new standard. They urged the board to return to its previous standards, saying it already was strong enough.

UMKC is an important source of prospective dentists for Kansas because the state doesn't operate its own dental school.

The board's decision was unanimous. Members said they had not fully understood the differences between the two exams when they established the new policy in November.
