Captain Smith with the Riverton Police Department said
they will not release the name of the suspect at this time.

The assault happened at the Riverton Maverick store on
Federal in Riverton just before midnight Wednesday night.  Two 28 year old Riverton men were sent to the hospital
with serious injuries.  One of the men was
treated at the Riverton hospital after being hit the head with a heavy object, the
other Riverton man was life flighted to Utah with stab wounds, and at last check
was in critical condition.

Captain Smith said the investigation into the incident
is ongoing.

The snow is expected to linger over southeastern
Wyoming on Friday.

The National Weather Service says the snow will be
moderate at times. However, winds could gust up to 35 mph and produce blowing
snow from the southern Laramie Range to Sidney, Neb.

Cheyenne got 4 inches of snow overnight. A Snotel
site at the Sand Creek Reservoir in Converse County recorded 18 inches of snow.

Park officials say 103 animals were hit or killed in
the park by vehicles in 2011, down from 162 animals in 2010.

Park Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott says the
reduction is welcome news. She says the park staff has tried for years to
reduce accidents through a public awareness campaign.

The park in November permanently reduced the speed
limit to 45 mph on the highway that runs from Grand Teton’s southern boundary
to its eastern boundary beyond Moran Junction. The park also erected warning
signs.

Park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs says the National
Park Service issued a permit to Tarantino’s production company last week.

A publicist with the project has said a brief part
of “Django (Jango) Unchained” that calls for snow would be filmed in
the Jackson area. The film is about a bounty-hunting slave.

Most of the filming by the director of “Pulp
Fiction” and “Kill Bill” will be taking place in New Orleans.

Skaggs declined to tell the Jackson Hole News &
Guide (http://bit.ly/xflaz3 ) what location the production company had been
scouting or applied to use within the park.

The Wyoming Workers’ Safety and Compensation
Division released the citations Thursday. They allege seven violations by Wild
West Construction in Glenrock, including that the company failed to adequately
instruct employees how to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions.

The explosion happened Aug. 29. The citations say
flammable substances flowed from an oil storage tank through a pipe being
connected by the workers.

Wild West Construction had no listed phone number
and could not be reached for comment.

Tulsa, Okla.-based Samson Resources and Double D
Welding and Fabrication in Mills also have received safety citations for the
explosion. Proposed fines against all three companies exceed $48,000.

Americans Elect says it submitted more than 8,000
signatures on Thursday, which it says is more than double the number required.
The secretary of state must validate the signatures before the group gets on
the ballot.

The group plans to choose its nominee in an online
convention in June.

Americans Elect says it has been certified for the
ballots of 16 states, including Colorado and Utah. It says it’s gathering
signatures or has finished gathering them in nearly 20 others, including Idaho,
Montana, Nebraska and South Dakota.

The group says it hopes to be on all 50 states’
ballots.

Joseph Ozment’s attorney says he will defend his
client’s freedom if Ozment wants to stay in Wyoming.

Ozment worked as a trusty at the Governor’s Mansion
before his pardon.

He’d dropped out of sight by the time Mississippi
Attorney General Jim Hood obtained a judge’s order requiring Ozment and four
others to check in daily with corrections officials and attend court hearings.

Hood is challenging the pardons in a civil case
rooted in state constitutional issues. The state Supreme Court has taken over
the case.

Ozment was served with a summons on Sunday in
Laramie, Wyo., to appear for court hearings.

The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports
(http://bit.ly/zp4iEU ) that 64-year-old Marcia Morris faces a charge of
reckless abuse, neglect or abandonment of a vulnerable adult.

Documents filed in Laramie County Circuit court
allege Morris failed to provide proper nutritional and hygienic care to her
22-year-old nephew.

Cheyenne Police officers responding to a disturbance
call in November found the man, wearing a diaper and shorts, locked in a filthy
basement at Morris’ home.

Judge B. Lynn Winmill on Thursday granted the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service’s request to rule against two environmental groups in
their lawsuit seeking increased protections for the bird. Western Watersheds
Project and WildEarth Guardians had sued in 2010.

Jon Marvel, executive director of the Idaho-based
Western Watershed Project, says Friday he is still reviewing the ruling and had
no immediate comment.

Wyoming and other western states have been concerned
that granting full federal protections for sage grouse could have hindered
energy development.

The George W. Bush administration had made almost 2
million acres available, but federal officials took a new look after
conservation groups filed a lawsuit alleging the government hadn’t fully
reviewed potential environmental impacts first.

A draft environmental impact statement released
Friday says the preferred plan now is to make 35,308 acres in Colorado; 252,181
acres in Utah; and 174,476 acres in Wyoming available for research. Also,
91,045 acres in eastern Utah would be available for activities related to tar
sands.

The public has until May 4 to comment on the
proposal.
