YOUNG WOMAN GOES ON SMITHVILLE ROAD RAMPAGE

SMITHVILLE — What began as a routine traffic stop exploded into a suburban demolition derby Saturday night when a Pleasant Hill woman allegedly unleashed chaos on the quiet streets of Smithville. Police say 22-year-old Arwen Hook-Henry was pulled over on Diamond Lane for something as simple as improper registration . But instead of a ticket, officers got a reckless thrill ride straight out of a Fast & Furious sequel . According to authorities, Hook-Henry jammed the accelerator, whipped into a cul-de-sac, and came within a breath of smashing into an officer and a patrol car —a move so dangerous it left seasoned cops shaken. What followed was pure mayhem: the fleeing car blasted through a privacy fence, tore across a backyard, shattered another fence, and vanished into the night , leaving splintered wood and stunned neighbors in its wake. Officers scrambled to give chase but quickly lost sight. Minutes later, wit...

Gladstone Gets New BBQ Resturant

Off the Hook BBQ: A Meaty Carnival of Madness Step aside Smokehouse, dainty salads and kale smoothies—there’s a new sheriff in town, and he’s wielding a rack of ribs like a medieval broadsword. Wardell Hooks Jr., pitmaster extraordinaire, has opened the doors of Off the Hook BBQ at 7506 N. Oak Trafficway, Gladstone, and folks, it’s like someone threw a tailgate party inside a smoker and invited every flavor in Kansas City. Hooks didn’t just build a BBQ business; he wrestled it from the fiery pits of determination, slept next to his smoker like it was a teddy bear, and prayed to the Holy Brisket Gods. His reward? A brick-and-mortar temple of smoke, sauce, and unapologetically messy joy. The Menu That Roared Right now, he’s offering a “starter pack” of meaty mayhem: brisket (both chopped and sliced for your textural pleasure), pulled pork, ribs, jumbo chicken wings that could double as medieval weaponry, and hot dogs so overloaded with brisket, cheese, and jalapeños they shoul...

Dollar Tree Robbery Shakes Northland

Suspect Caught on Camera Assaults Store Manager – July 2, 2025 A routine evening at the Dollar Tree near North Oak Trafficway and Barry Road turned violent Tuesday night when an unidentified man assaulted a store manager and fled with stolen merchandise. According to eyewitness accounts and security footage, the suspect entered the store around closing time and became confrontational when approached by staff. The situation escalated quickly into a physical altercation, during which the store manager was assaulted. The suspect then fled the store with undisclosed items. Surveillance images shared by store employees show the suspect wearing a black t-shirt emblazoned with the words “JALEN LEWIS Basketball” beneath a graphic of a basketball. He was also wearing gray sweatpants, multi-colored athletic shoes, and a distinctive head wrap or knit cap. A visible tattoo is present on his left forearm. In an effort to identify the individual, concerned employees contacted the basketball coa...

KC Water Killing the Plants, But Safe to Drink

KC Declares Water Safe to Drink, Just Toxic Enough to Kill Your Garden — In a stunning show of botanical genocide, Kansas City’s water supply has claimed yet another set of innocent victims: your potted plants, vegetables, and anything green that dared to rely on “safe” municipal water. That includes our own lil town of Gladstone as well. The culprit? Flooding in late June led to what officials politely called a “ chemical imbalance ” in the city’s drinking water. The water, which reportedly smelled like “a mop bucket left in the sun,” was still deemed safe to drink — just apparently unsafe for anything else with chlorophyll. This really shows the ineptitude of KC Mayor Q-Ball. In a statement issued July 1, the Kansas City Water Department acknowledged the smell but assured residents that “[t]he water remains safe for consumption, and testing continues to show compliance with state and federal drinking water standards.”* According to city officials, the water may ...
