Dougherty siblings face hearing in a new court
WALSENBURG, Colo. (AP) — The siblings are due in court Monday in the southern Colorado county where they're expected to be tried for an alleged multistate crime spree.
The three siblings — 29-year-old Lee Grace Dougherty, 26-year-old Dylan Dougherty Stanley and 21-year-old Ryan Edward Dougherty — are expected to be formally charged with attempted murder and assault Monday afternoon in Huerfano County. The trio has been held in neighboring Pueblo County, but prosecutors announced last week that they believe Huerfano is the proper venue.
A cross country manhunt for the Doughertys ended in Huerfano Aug. 10 after a high-speed chase on Interstate 25. Authorities say the trio robbed a bank in Georgia and shot at police officers in Florida and Colorado. They're also suspects in two car thefts in Utah.

Expanded bear hunt off table for now in Colorado
DENVER (AP) — An expanded bear hunting season in Colorado is off the table next year, according to a lawmaker who proposed the idea unsuccessfully this year.
Republican Rep. J. Paul Brown of Ignacio told the Durango Herald that he will not try next session to partially overturn a voter-approved law that limits bear hunting to after Sept. 1.
Brown said he intends to wait a year to see some results from a population study the state Division of Parks and Wildlife is conducting in southwest Colorado.
Brown said he suggested changing the hunt because of an increase in human-bear conflicts. There were two separate bear attacks in the Aspen area on Friday and Saturday, one that left a camper in the hospital.
