WYOMING INCIDENT
No charges in Taser use on tractor driver
Prosecutors in Cheyenne, Wyo., say they won't file any charges after police used a Taser to try to subdue a 76-year-old man driving an antique tractor during a parade in Glenrock.
Prosecuting Attorney Quentin Richardson released a statement Monday after reviewing a report into the Aug. 1 incident. Glenrock police Chief Tom Sweet says Bud Grose ignored an officer's traffic command and then kept driving until officers pulled in front of him.
Sweet says an officer shocked Grose with a Taser, but that failed to subdue him.
ON THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDER
U.S. resumes flying immigrants to Mexico
Immigration authorities are flying illegal immigrants deep into their native Mexico from Southern Arizona to discourage dangerous crossings in triple-digit heat.
The twice-daily flights from Tucson to Mexico City are intended to keep immigrants away from border towns where they would likely run into smugglers who want to sneak them back into the U.S.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security flights began Saturday for the sixth straight summer and will end Sept. 28.
Tucson is the only spot in the country where the flights depart. Arizona is the busiest illegal entry point.
Since 2004, more than 82,000 Mexicans have been returned as part of the repatriation program.
