Josiah Williams was driving while intoxicated on I-270 at Dorsett Road, according to a court document.

A South County man faces his third impaired driving charge since 2003 following a traffic stop Interstate 270 at Dorsett Road in Maryland Heights. Josiah W. Williams, 32, of the 9500 block of Fredericksburg Court in Crestwood, was charged March 21 with driving while intoxicated as a persistent offender.

News Nearby: MMA Fighter Stops Crime, Slams Thief to Ground at Crestwood Schnucks

Jesse Finney, who is trained as a boxer and mixed martial arts fighter, stopped a shoplifter last week during a trip to the grocery store.

A man stealing bottles of vodka from a Crestwood grocery store probably didn't imagine a professional kickboxer and mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter would thwart him on his way out the door. Jesse Finney said he headed to Schnucks in Crestwood around 7 p.m. on Dec. 21 to pick up some chocolate for his pregnant wife. As he neared the basket area, Finney noticed a female employee running after a man. “I didn’t know if he had robbed the place, or if he’d assaulted somebody, I just saw her. He was pushing her off,” said Finney, who lives in Crestwood and owns Finney’s MMA/All In 1 Fitness. Finney grabbed the man by the coat. When he resisted, Finney slammed him to the ground and subdued him in a hold until Crestwood police could arrive, Finney…

Two Face Shrewsbury Armed Robbery Charges in String of Holdups

The men also face charges in Crestwood, Mehlville and Brentwood.

Two men face criminal charges after police said they took a woman’s purse and cell phone during an armed robbery in the Dierbergs Market parking lot in Shrewsbury May 15.

Seven Holy Founders Hopes to Join Holy Cross Academy Consolidation

Amie Koenen, the principal at St. Michael the Archangel School, will serve as the president of the new Catholic school system.

Affton's Seven Holy Founders parish school may soon join the consolidation planned for three other local Catholic schools. The new Holy Cross Academy school system will include students from Annunciation in Webster Groves, Our Lady of Providence in Crestwood and St. Michael the Archangel in Shrewsbury. Representatives from the three parishes announced that they were combining the schools last fall. Under the current plan, the St. Michael and Our Lady of Providence campuses will serve students in kindergarten through fifth-grade. The Annunciation campus will become the academy's middle school serving sixth- through eighth-grade students. After the plan was announced, the Seven Holy Founders school board inquired about joining the new system…

Secretly, there is a mass "behavior modification" program going on in the Archdiocese as set up by AB Robert Carlson. There is no doubt that he is a feminist and is the residue from the running of AB Raymond Burke out of town on a rail. He is a busy bee at putting women in charge of everything and obliterating the influence of the pastors within his system. Pastors are becoming little more than…   more ›
