The man suspected of robbing 14 banks in six states - and caught after a Missouri State Highway Patrol recognized his photo from "America's Most Wanted" - was arraigned in federal court Thursday in Jefferson City. A retired missouri highway patrol trooper saw a man he thought had been profiled on the tv-show, "america's most wanted", not to mention a st. Louis tv news report about a recent bank robbery in illinois..

Thursday, federal marshals took 37-year-old Chad Schaffner from the Callaway County Jail, where officers had held him since his arrest last week. The county's jailer couldn't tell KOMU 8 News where Schaffner would be put behind bars.

Schaffner told a judge Monday that he wanted to return to his home state of Tennessee to face charges.

The Tour of Missouri crossed the finish line last week, but now, the bike race may be finished for good. This was the final year of the tour's three-year contract.

Gov. Jay Nixon and Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder say corporate sponsors need to step up to save the race. Nixon threatened to pull about $1.5 million from the tour's budget this summer, amid budget shortfalls. Only a compromise saved this year's race.

Thousands of supporters cheered on cyclists from around the world during the seven-stage tour earlier this month.

Columbia city workers have installed panels to reduce a big bump where U.S. Highway 63 crossed the Colt Railroad on the city's north side. Drivers could feel the bump whatever speed they were going.

The panels fit against the rails, reducing the big bump.

The fix is only temporary because a new bridge to go over the railroad is under construction nearby. Officials say the new overpass shoud be ready in a little more than one year.
