Police in riot gear made numerous arrests. Michael Brelo still faces administrative charges while remaining suspended without pay, but he no longer faces the prospect of prison.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Severe weather in Oklahoma prompted the evacuation of a music festival about 50 miles west of Tulsa while recent flooding closed some 15 highways across the state.

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A landslide that blocked a river in Nepal is threatening to cause flash floods, prompting thousands of people to head for higher ground.

MOSCOW (AP) — Human rights groups have condemned the measure and the U.S. is expressing concern over a new law in Russia giving prosecutors the power to declare foreign and international organizations "undesirable" and shut them down.
