Police investigate rape and other crimes in Lawrence
A 20 year old Missouri woman was taken to hospital after a reported rape in Lawrence. She declined charges but police continue to investigate and seek a 23 year old Lawrence man.

Burglaries and thefts on West Sixth Street include a laptop worth 1600 dollars. Emergency calls yielded no fire incidents.

Marine loses appeal in military protest case
Iraq War veteran Cpl. Adam Kokesh loses appeal seeking a new hearing after a panel recommended a general discharge for wearing a military uniform at a protest and for an obscenity in an email. Kokesh’s civilian attorney argued the board was improperly convened and that he, as a non drilling nonpaid IRR member, was not subject to standard military rules. Brig. Gen. Darrell L. Moore is set to finish the review within a week.
