Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

A police report outlining the July 29 incident with a bicyclist and Sunset Hills Mayor Mark Furrer provides the best look yet into how county officials conducted their investigation, although it does not explicitly state why prosecutors decided to charge the mayor with two felonies. . . .

“The guy in the Mercedes-Benz hollered back at the cyclist, and then turned right; or made a right jerk with the car,” Witness 2 said in a recorded statement for county police. “I saw the steering wheel turn right because his hands were on it and I saw his hand go up. So he turned right into him. The car kind of dropped down off the road a little bit and came back on and that’s when he accelerated away.”
