## Resource

Wesley Roberts, 30, surrendered after a tense weeklong manhunt in south Wichita — but not before a dramatic standoff and a surprising twist: a fugitive agent acted as mediator, helping Roberts safely turn himself in at his office. Police say they used necessary force, believing the pressure led to his surrender, while his best friend claims the cops chased wrong leads and overreacted. Roberts now faces multiple serious charges including aggravated battery and robbery. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
