AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

McKenna Wendel Case: A South Dakota man who had his life sentence commuted by Gov. Kristi Noem has now been charged in the death of 14-year-old McKenna Wendel, found dead near Brookings in March—federal charges allege he transported a minor for criminal sexual activity and that cocaine he possessed led to her death. Public Safety: The South Dakota Highway Patrol graduated 13 recruits in Fort Pierre, completing academy training and field work to join the state troopers. State Politics: South Dakota Democrats announced nominees for constitutional offices, including Terrence Davis for Secretary of State and Frank Kloucek for Public Utilities Commissioner. Community & Culture: Rapid City marked Juneteenth outside City Hall, while the American Indian College Fund received a $2.4 million grant to expand Native arts programming. Local Sports: Lincoln’s 4x200 relay won at Nike Outdoor Nationals; Rapid City’s Eric Mass took the IMCA Modified Special feature at Black Hills Speedway. Road Safety: AAA kicked off “100 Days of Safe Driving,” urging safer summer habits as teen-driving crashes spike.
