A Cape Girardeau man is feeling very patriotic.

He made an American Flag out of license plates just in time for the Independence Day holiday.

Bill Adams bought the plates off of e-bay, getting only red, white and blue plates--all from 46 states.

If you would like to see the display, the flag is on 1733 Anna Street.

It took Adams six months to make the flag and plans to keep it out in his yard until July 4.

Supreme Court to hear case about Mo. DWI law

Submitted by KFVS Web Staff

Trooper Blaine Adams with the Missouri Highway Patrol says changes in the law are making his job easier.

"It's excellent," said Adams. 

Lawmakers eliminated four words from the implied consent law. "None shall be given," saying if a person under arrest for DWI refuses a blood alcohol test then (under the previous statute) no test would be given.
