GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) — A Wyoming man who caused a fatal crash as he was being chased by authorities in northern Wyoming has pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide. The Gillette News Record reports 28-year-old Grant Gleason entered the plea Friday for the June 29, 2015, death of George Bryant. Gleason sped away after he was pulled over by a sheriff's deputy for not having license plate lights. During the chase, he hit Bryant's vehicle head-on at more than 80 mph.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The 90th Missile Wing at Wyoming's F.E. Warren Air Force Base has a new commander. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports Col. Stacy Huser assumed command of the "Mighty Ninety" following a ceremony Friday. She was most recently the commander of the 91st Operations Group at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. Huser takes the reins from Col. Stephen Kravitsky, who assumed command of the 90th Missile Wing in June 2015. The missile wing operates 150 Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles.

BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Yellowstone National Park is moving toward turning part of its bison trap at the northern edge of the park into a certified brucellosis quarantine facility. The Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports park officials have been talking with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and state livestock officials about upgrades to the Stephens Creek Facility and testing requirements to certify brucellosis-free bison. Brucellosis is feared by the livestock industry because it causes cattle to abort their offspring.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Republicans dominate Wyoming politics like no other state without relying on the old political trick of adjusting political boundaries to gain an unfair advantage among voters. There's no statistical evidence Republicans have gained an advantage in Wyoming by redrawing political districts to cluster or divide certain groups of voters.
