Saline County deputies are currently searching for a male who allegedly ran away from an arrest.

According to the Saline County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday, June 24th at 9:30 am deputies were sent to CKF Addiction Treatment on 617 E. Elm St., in connection to a male 'court ordered patient' who allegedly was not 'following rules' with CKF.

Whenever deputies arrived, the male patient identified as 36-year old Levi Sanderson allegedly ran away and was not apprehended.

Sanderson before CKF, had a warrant for theft and damage to property back in 2023. Moreover, Sanderson had requested charges for trespassing and probation violation in which he was booked into the Saline County Jail on April 4th, 2025.

According to the Sheriff's Office, Sanderson was court ordered to be transported to CKF on June 3rd, 2025 and deputies took him to CKF on June, 5th.

Sanderson was last seen wearing a black shirt and blue jeans.

Saline County Operations Captain Jim Hughes, advises residents to not apprehend or take any law enforcement action on Sanderson if he is discovered, but to call 9-1-1.

Saline County Jail Bookings, June 25

This is day 4 of the Kansas Wheat Harvest Reports, brought to you by the Kansas Wheat Commission, Kansas Association of Wheat Growers, Kansas Grain and Feed Association and the Kansas Cooperative Council.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Harvest is underway across the state, with progress varying by region. Yields are showing improvement in some areas, while scattered showers and heavy rains have slowed harvest in others. Test weights remain steady overall, though some growers continue to face challenges from wheat streak mosaic virus.

Harvest is in full swing for producers in Russell County, where yields are proving to be a bright spot in the 2025 Kansas wheat harvest. Jayce Dickerson reported their first load went to the elevator on June 18, and as of June 24, they were about halfway through harvest.&nbsp;

“We’re averaging around 60 bushels per acre,” Dickerson said. “We’re doing really good.” That’s a solid rebound compared to previous seasons—especially three years ago, when the family didn’t cut any wheat at all. “Two years ago, we cut some; last year, we cut most; and this year, we’re cutting it all because it’s actually really good.”

In Wilson County, farmer Randy Small began harvesting around June 12, with a short pause before getting back into the fields on June 19. Now nearing the finish line, he expects to wrap up within the next couple of days if everything goes to plan. Test weights have been averaging around 57 to 58. While the recent moisture could have caused delays, Randy says conditions have remained favorable overall. He planted three different wheat varieties this season and reports that all have performed consistently across the board.

Harvest is underway in Bazine, where CGS General Manager Brad Cowan reported they took in their first load on June 18. He says the elevator has received around 235,000 bushels, and harvest is about 20 to 25 percent complete. Yields are averaging near 50 bushels per acre, though it’s still early to get a full picture. Protein levels are running lower than usual, currently averaging 11.12, with a wide range from 9 to 14. While harvest began about five days earlier than it did last year, challenges remain. Wheat streak mosaic virus is showing up in isolated pockets and hitting those fields hard, and heavy rainfall from about 10 days ago is still causing problems in certain areas.

Saline County Sheriff's Office Most Wanted — July 2025

CLOUD COUNTY&nbsp;– The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) arrested a former Cloud County Sheriff’s Office corrections officer for alleged child sex crimes, according to a media release from the agency.

Just after 4:30 on Monday,&nbsp; KBI agents arrested 36-year-old Brice Berk, of Concordia, at the Republic County Sheriff’s Office after he turned himself over to authorities. Berk was arrested for 12 counts of sexual exploitation of a child. The crimes allege Berk possessed and distributed child pornography.

Berk served as a Cloud County Sheriff’s Office corrections officer until March 2025, after a search warrant was executed at his residence. At that time, evidence was located and seized. The Cloud County Sheriff's Office was fully cooperative with the investigation.

The KBI began investigating after a cyber-tip was submitted to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

Following the arrest, Berk was booked into the Republic County Jail on a $20,000 bond.&nbsp; The case is expected to be prosecuted by Cloud County Attorney’s Office, according to the KBI.

Saline County Jail Bookings, June 24

The City of Salina and Fire Department has issued a press release that advises residents to 'avoid dangerous behavior' at the debris/log pileup near Bill Burke Park.&nbsp;

The following is a statement from the City of Salina and the Salina Fire Department:

The Salina Fire Department and City of Salina urgently advise citizens against attempting to walk onto the log debris located at Bill Burke Park. Despite the appearance, the stability of the logsis extremely unpredictable, one misstep or dislodged log could quickly turn curiosity into a life-threatening emergency. While the logs may seem stable, the reality is this is not the case, and this type of behavior is far from safe.

We have received reports and evidence of individuals walking across the logs and even swimming downstream of the debris. To put it bluntly, these actions are incredibly dangerous. The likelihood of a safe and swift rescue by our personnel if someone falls through the debris of the logs is minimal and the situation would likely result in a recovery effort rather than a successful rescue.

The Salina Fire Department prioritizes the safety of its emergency personnel and urges community members to avoid risking their lives and the lives of others. The City of Salina and Salina Fire Department strongly advises against venturing onto the logs or entering the water anywhere near the area of the debris and stresses that such decisions are simply irresponsible.

City of Salina staff are working to determine the best solution for the situation and will advise the public as soon as there is a viable solution to the issue.

Kansas Tourism to kick off Sunflower Summer on July 12

It’s a busy time for farmers in Kansas, with wheat harvest underway. The Kansas Highway Patrol would like to remind motorists to use more caution and patience when traveling around farm trucks, tractors, combines, and other implements.

“With wheat harvest season beginning, you’ll see heavy farm implement and truck traffic moving in and out of Kansas wheat fields and on to Kansas roadways. It’s important to remember that traveling around these vehicles requires extra caution. By taking your time and giving farm and heavy equipment plenty of room on the roadways, you can help ensure that yourself, your loved ones, and our Kansas farmers all make it home safely,” said Captain Stephen La Row, Kansas Highway Patrol.

Most farm equipment is not designed to travel at highway speeds and may only travel 15-25 mph. Farm equipment is often wider than the lane of traffic, so extra room should be allowed when sharing the road. Caution should be practiced on all roads, but especially on busy rural roads with unmarked intersections.

By taking your time and giving farm and heavy equipment plenty of room on the roadways, you can help ensure that yourself, your loved ones, and our Kansas farmers all make it home safely,” said Captain Stephen La Row, Kansas Highway Patrol.Most farm equipment is not designed to travel at highway speeds and may only travel 15-25 mph. Farm equipment is often wider than the lane of traffic, so extra room should be allowed when sharing the road. Caution should be practiced on all roads, but especially on busy rural roads with unmarked intersections.Tips to keep in mind:<ul>
 <li>Don’t assume the farmer knows you’re there.&nbsp;Most farmers regularly check for vehicles behind them, however, most of their time must be spent looking ahead to stay on the road and watch for oncoming traffic. Implements are very loud, hindering their ability to hear your vehicle.</li><li>Pass with extreme caution.&nbsp;Don’t pass unless you can see clearly ahead of both your vehicle and the equipment you are passing. If there are curves or hills blocking your view, wait until you can clearly visualize the area you are passing in. You should not pass in a designated “No Passing Zone,” even if you are stuck behind a farm vehicle. Do not pass if you are within 100 feet of any intersection, railroad grade crossing, bridge, elevated structure, or tunnel.</li><li>When a farm vehicle pulls to the right side of the road, it does not mean it is turning right or allowing you to pass.&nbsp;Due to the size of some farm equipment, the farmer must execute wide left turns, so allow it plenty of room and time to turn and be alert to see if there might be a driveway or field they may be turning into.</li><li>Be patient.&nbsp;Don’t assume that a farmer can move aside to let you pass. Shoulders may be soft, wet, or steep, which can cause the farm vehicle to tip, or the shoulder may not support the weight of a heavy farm vehicle. They understand you are being delayed and will move over at the first safe location available.</li><li>Think of the slow-moving vehicle emblem as a warning to adjust your speed.&nbsp;When you see the slow-moving vehicle emblem, immediately slow down. While the emblems are visible from a long distance, it is difficult to judge the speed at which you are closing in on the vehicle, especially at night.</li><li>Pay attention.&nbsp;When you are not focused solely on the road, you increase your chances of a collision, especially if you should come upon a slow-moving farm vehicle.</li>
 </ul>

KHP: Use extra caution when driving during harvest

HANNAH BLODGETT Kansas Wheat Commission&nbsp;

This is day 3 of the Kansas Wheat Harvest Reports, brought to you by the Kansas Wheat Commission, Kansas Association of Wheat Growers, Kansas Grain and Feed Association and the Kansas Cooperative Council.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Harvest is finally in full swing across much of southern and central Kansas. Wheat streak mosaic virus continues to challenge growers in parts of the state, impacting yields and test weights. After rains and humidity have slowed harvest progress, farmers are getting back into fields but having to dodge muddy areas.

Officially, the Kansas wheat harvest is only 20 percent complete, well behind 49 percent complete last year and behind 31 percent on average, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service crop progress report for the week ending June 22, 2025. Winter wheat conditions were rated 23 percent poor to very poor, 32 percent fair and 45 percent good to excellent.

Blake Connelly with Alliance Ag &amp; Grain in Ford County reports that harvest in the area began around June 12 and is currently about 40 percent complete. If the weather holds, he expects farmers to begin finishing up by the end of this coming weekend. Yields are up compared to last year, but protein levels are running lower, with most in the low to mid 11s. He says one of the biggest challenges they’ve seen this year has been wheat streak mosaic virus in a few locations, which is having a significant impact on yields and test weights.

Sarah Dodge with Farmers Cooperative Equity Co. in Barber County reported they took in their first load of wheat on June 10 at their Medicine Lodge location. As of Sunday, June 22, they’ve brought in about 1.1 million bushels company wide. Yield reports are ranging from around 45 to 60 bushels per acre, she said. Protein levels haven’t been as strong as in recent years and are averaging in the mid 11s across the company. Harvest is about halfway done overall, with some locations close to 70 percent after successfully managing to miss the recent rains. Dodge says the extra moisture and the timing of storms have brought down test weights, but she’s hopeful that some of the later loads will come in stronger and help boost the overall average.

Olson Farms near Gypsum in Saline County began harvest on June 12. Bryant Olson said their overall farm average is hovering near 50 bushels per acre this year, which is an improvement from last year.&nbsp;

“Overall, the wheat has been a lot better than last year,” Olson said. While not a record-setting crop, test weights have consistently come in at or above 60 pounds per bushel with protein levels around 12 percent. “This year’s crop is slightly above an average crop but definitely not a bumper crop,” he said.

Disease pressure and weather have presented challenges in this region of central Kansas.&nbsp;

“Some challenges we have faced this year were wheat streak mosaic virus, and rain has stopped our harvest progress,” Olson reported. “WSMV took over half of what the wheat could’ve potentially made. We haven’t seen any in the area in a while,” he said. Saline and Dickinson counties have been hot spots for the disease this year.&nbsp;

Despite those issues, some varieties have shown promise this harvest.&nbsp;

“Some specific varieties we are very happy with are KS Mako and KS Providence,” Olson said. “KS Mako took the wheat streak very well.”
