MoDOT closing several I-270 ramps this weekend
ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – Commuters who regularly use the I-270/I-64 and I-270/I-44 interchanges will need to find alternate routes this weekend.
The Missouri Department of Transportation is expected to close several ramps along I-270 this weekend for various repair and maintenance work.
According to Andrew Gates, a MoDOT spokesman, the ramps will close on Friday, July 14, at 9 p.m., and reopen on Monday, July 17, by 5 a.m.
Crews will close the ramps from southbound I-270 to eastbound I-64 (Exit 12A) and northbound I-270 to westbound I-64 (Exit 12) for pavement repairs on both ramps. Gates said the ramp to eastbound I-64 at Exit 12 will remain open throughout the weekend.

A possible detour for southbound I-270 to eastbound I-64 would be to take westbound I-64 to Mason Road, cross the interstate, and then head back east. A suggested detour for northbound I-270 to westbound I-64 would be to head east on I-64, exit at Spoede Road, and then get back onto westbound I-64.
In addition, crews will close the ramp from southbound I-270 to eastbound I-44 (Exit 5A) and the ramp from eastbound I-44 to Route 366 (Watson Road/Exit 277A) for guardrail work and girder recoating on two bridges.
MoDOT advises the detour for I-270 to I-44 would be to continue on I-270, take the exit to Route 30 (Exit 3), cross over the interstate, then head north on I-270 toward eastbound I-44. The detour for the ramp on I-44 to Watson Road is to continue east on I-44 and then take the exit to Lindbergh Boulevard (Exit 277 B).

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. – Two people are behind bars after a man reportedly attacked a Jefferson County deputy with a screwdriver during an attempted arrest over the weekend.
Prosecutors have charged Nicholas Davis, 47, and Amanda Davis, 45, of Dittmer, Missouri, with felonies in the investigation.

The alleged attack followed a traffic stop of a driver in the 9500 block of Jones Creek Road on July 7, though the driver was not Nicholas or Amanda.
According to court documents obtained by FOX 2, Nicholas reportedly came out of his nearby home, yelled at a deputy and started approaching him while holding a screwdriver. The deputy initially ordered Nicholas to back away, then used pepper spray.
Per court documents, the deputy attempted to arrest Nicholas, who then struck him in the chest with the screwdriver. Amanda reportedly approached the deputy and pulled him away from Nicholas before both ran inside their home.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says the situation prompted an hours-long standoff involving negotiators, a SWAT team and a K-9 deputy. The situation led to Nicholas refusing warnings and being bitten by a K-9.
Nicholas and Amanda are both jailed in the Jefferson County Jail without bond. Nicholas is charged with first-degree assault on a special victim and armed criminal action. Amanda is charged with resisting/interfering with arrest.

ST. LOUIS — A gasoline tanker truck crashed into a Metro transit center near Riverview and Hall Streets early Tuesday morning and knocked over a power pole. The pole is leaning on other power lines. Police have the area blocked off here because there is a downed power line. Ameren and Metro crews are also on the scene.
The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. It’s still unclear exactly what caused the crash, but we do that there was a second vehicle somehow involved. The airbags on that second vehicle did deploy.
Accused killer’s case thrown out over one question at trial
Police at the scene have not been able to give us a lot of details. Metro officials tell FOX 2 that the transit center here is operating this morning for passengers and buses. Access to certain areas will be limited here as clean up unfolds.
A Metro spokesperson says half of the station isn’t being used right now because of safety issues. It isn’t impacting overall bus operations, everything is just happening on the other side of transit center.
The extent of the damage to the actual transit center is still unclear, but I’m told it does not appear to be extreme. A Metro spokesperson tells me there were no injuries to any metro workers or passengers. The tanker driver also was not injured.
