Police arrest one in fatal crash

LARAMIE -- Police arrested the 20-year-old driver of a vehicle that crashed and left a Laramie teenager dead.

Fredric Saccoto was taken into custody on suspicion of felony aggravated homicide by vehicle after the crash at about 1:20 a.m. on Friday.

Laramie Police Commander Mitchell Cushman says the vehicle held five passengers, including 18-year-old Lace Peck, who died at the scene.

Peck was a 2009 graduate of Laramie High School, where grief counseling was made available to students on Friday after they learned of the tragedy.

Police say alcohol was involved in the crash, which is under investigation.

Tattoo artist charged with felony voyeurism

CHEYENNE -- A tattoo shop owner who police say video taped nude female clients without their permission has been charged with one count of felony voyeurism.

A judge is scheduled on Monday to decide if there is enough evidence against 42-year-old Steven J. Martinez to allow the case to proceed to district court.

In court documents, police say Martinez secretly taped women who were getting pierced at his Cheyenne business.

Martinez says he taped the women to protect himself because he is sometimes alone during the piercing and this could make him vulnerable to false accusations of sexual assault, which has happened in the past.

If convicted of felony voyeurism, Martinez faces up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

UW proposes 5 percent tuition hike

LARAMIE -- University of Wyoming administrators are proposing a 5 percent tuition increase for each of the next two school years for undergraduate and graduate students.

The increase amounts to $5 per credit hour for resident undergrads and $9 per credit hour for resident graduate students.

UW administrators propose to use federal stimulus funding to defray the cost increase for next school year, meaning students would start paying more in the 2011-12 school year.

Administrators say the increase will generate about $1.85 million each year and will be used to support library collections and academic programs.

University trustees will consider the proposal in meetings scheduled for Thursday and Friday.

Riverton and tribe work to settle dispute

RIVERTON -- The Northern Arapaho Tribe and the city of Riverton are working to resolve a long-standing boundary dispute.

The tribe and Riverton city officials will hold public meetings starting next week to talk about several issues, such as tax incentives, land use planning, law enforcement and detention.

A federal judge recently dismissed the tribe's lawsuit over Riverton's boundary. The tribe had claimed that land around the city of Riverton was still part of the Wind River Indian Reservation for taxation purposes.
