Kansas woman found with over 100,000 fentanyl pills, sentenced to 20 years in prison

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – A Kansas woman has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison after being caught with a large amount of fentanyl pills.

According to court documents, 51-year-old Mana Elena Reyes from Wichita pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.

Reyes had multiple discussions between April and May of 2023 with a person she was unaware was an undercover officer with the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office. During the conversations, she discussed purchasing and selling methamphetamine and fentanyl.

The Kansas Highway Patrol conducted a traffic stop and searched Reyes’ vehicle, where they found approximately 115,000 fentanyl pills and over 4,000 grams of methamphetamine. They also found heroin, fentanyl powder and cocaine.

Recruiting experts picking Kansas Jayhawks for Tyran Stokes

In addition, Travis Branham said the 247 Sports Crystal Ball prediction that Kansas will land Stokes will remain unchanged heading into the decision.

This is how this recruitment has been trending for a while now, but that didn’t stop Mark Pope from making one final push to get Stokes to Kentucky, even hosting him for a visit recently while also pursuing NBA great Jamal Crawford, who is currently an assistant coach at Rainer Beach High School, where Stokes played his senior season.

Oh, and the cherry on top of all this? Kentucky and Kansas will meet in this year’s Champions Classic, as though the stakes weren’t already high enough.

Inspection underway after another fire damages Kansas City apartment building

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – City inspectors will determine if a damaged Kansas City apartment building with a history of problems is safe enough to remain standing.

Kansas City firefighters responded to a fire on the second floor of the Olive Park Village building shortly after 11 a.m. Monday. They could see smoke and fire coming from the building before they arrived at E. 9th Street and Olive Street.

The department said it took about 20 minutes to get the fire under control. No one was injured in the fire and it remains under investigation.

This is at least the second fire in the building in less than two months. Firefighters also responded to a fire at Olive Park Village on March 5.

This comes after dozens of families evacuated the building when the Department of Housing and Urban Development cut funding over dangerous and unlivable conditions.

The City of Kansas City, Missouri, announced on Friday, Jan. 16, that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ended its contract with property owner Millennia.

According to the City, the move happened after the company failed to fix ongoing safety problems and code violations at the Kansas City complex.
