SCPD claimed Chark was involved in a domestic violence situation and had his hands around the victim's throat. A 14-year-old in the home witnessed the assault, and police said, in an attempt to stop the violence, they grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed Chark.
The Woodbury County Attorney's Office determined the 14-year-old was justified in doing so because they were trying to stop the domestic violence situation. No files have been, or will be, charged, they said.

Trump's 'big beautiful bill' cuts food stamps for millions — the average family may lose $146 per month, report finds
Republicans' "big beautiful" reconciliation package includes tax cuts that policy researchers have found primarily benefit the wealthy. To help pay for that, the legislation also includes "substantial" cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, according to research from the Urban Institute. The changes will cause 22.3 million families to lose some or all of their SNAP benefits, according to the institute, a nonpartisan provider of policy research. Its analysis is based on the legislation passed by the Senate, which the House did not change before voting for the bill, signed into law by President Donald Trump. SNAP currently provides basic food assistance to more than 40 million people, including children, seniors and nonelderly adults with disabilities, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and policy institute. More from Personal Finance:Tax changes under Trump bill — in one chartTrump bill doesn't eliminate taxes on Social Security benefitsWhat endowment tax in Trump bill may mean for your college tuition Of the 22.3 million families who will be affected by the legislation's changes, 5.3 million would lose at least $25 per month in SNAP benefits, according to Urban Institute's analysis. On average, those families would lose $146 per month in SNAP support, the Urban Institute found. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated the changes in the Senate reconciliation bill would cut SNAP funding by about 20%, or $186 billion through 2034. That makes it "the largest cut to SNAP in history," according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Currently, many individuals are limited to three months of SNAP benefits every three years unless they are working for 20 hours per week or qualify for an exemption. The new legislation will expand those requirements to individuals ages 55 through 64, parents of minor children ages 14 and up and veterans. It is unclear when those new rules go into effect. Those new work requirements may throw even working people who qualify off benefits if they do not report their eligibility properly, according to Elaine Waxman, senior fellow at the Urban Institute. Around 3.5 million working families, who have at least one family member working during the year, would lose at least $25 per month in benefits, or $108 per month on average, Urban Institute's research estimates. That estimate is based on families who may not consistently meet the required work hours, according to Waxman. However, because additional households may lose eligibility if they fail to properly comply with the administrative process, the total could be higher, she said. Additionally, the legislation requires states to pay for a portion of benefit costs, ranging from 5% to 15%, if their payment error rate is at or over 6%. The error rates measure the accuracy of states' eligibility and benefit payments. In fiscal year 2024, states had a 10.9% average payment error rate, with many states over 6%, according to the Department of Agriculture. States that can't pay those shares may have to cut SNAP benefits or opt out of the program entirely, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. While states will have until 2028 to start helping to pay for SNAP benefits, they will likely be aggressive in getting their error rates down sooner, according to Waxman. "I think that we will start to see SNAP declines for administrative reasons in the near future as states struggle with that," Waxman said. "I do think the effects will be felt sooner." Even if families' eligibility for SNAP hasn't changed, they could fall off the program if they fail to get recertified for benefits, which can lead to hardship, Waxman said. Children who are eligible for SNAP may also see cuts in school meals and in summer EBT, or electronic benefits transfer, food benefits, according to CBPP. The law also limits SNAP eligibility to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. Every dollar spent on SNAP generates $1.54 in benefit for local economies, according to 2019 research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service. "People do spend SNAP dollars right away," Waxman said, which helps grocery stores, producers, processors and transportation companies. Those funds can help to support hiring even during downturns, she said. However, following the new law, states may be more likely to cut benefits during a recession if their budgets are stretched, according to CBPP. "Typically, in a recession, more people need SNAP and the rolls go up," Waxman said. If the changes under the new law prompt the program's administrative capacity to become stressed, SNAP may not be as well suited to respond to people's needs as it has been in the past, she said.

Police issue important advice over 'lock snapping' burglaries
Police have given out advice on how to prevent "lock snapping" burglaries. Certain door locks, known as "euro-cylinder locks" are vulnerable to "lock snapping". The technique allows thieves to exploit the weak centre of the lock cylinder to break it in half, and gain access to your property. Manufacturers have produce "snap-proof" cylinders and you can check if you have them by looking at the end of the cylinder. Officers recommend upgrading the locks on your external doors to an anti-snap cylinder with a three-star rating under TS 007 and/or the sold secure diamond standard. Officers recommend upgrading your locks to an 'anti-snap' cylinder (Image: GMP) Door handles should also be replaced with handles with a two-star rating under TS 007 - this will also protect against blow torch burglaries. They have said to use a reputable lock replacement company, preferably with Master Locksmiths Association accreditation. You can visit for more information. Fitting sash jammers to your doors could also prevent burglaries - but officers warned to check it won't invalidate any warranty on an existing door. Finally - officers have recommended fitting additional locks on patio and French doors for an added layer of security. Police said that the cost of a new cylinder is not very expensive and they can be installed with basic DIY skills or - if you aren't confident - by a locksmith. Have a story? Get in touch at They have warned that it's important that the cylinder is correctly fitted and the correct size for the thickness of the door. Officers have also warned that your car could be a target - and recommended using a sold secure standard steering wheel lock. They said this will provide a visual deterrent and make it harder for criminals to drive your car away. Officers said to make sure that your lock is properly installed (Image: GMP) READ MORE: Police charge man with fraud offences at Bolton Council READ MORE: Bolton man set for trial after missing woman found dead READ MORE: Man bashed friend of a friend with a brick in drunk attack You can access GMP's services online at In the case of an emergency only call 999, and for less urgent matters call 101.

Oil Steady as Traders Weigh Rising US Stockpiles, Trump's Levies
(Bloomberg) -- Oil steadied as traders weighed a large increase in US crude stockpiles and a wave of new tariff rates from President Donald Trump.

Brent settled near $70. US inventories climbed by about 7.1 million barrels last week, the biggest build since January, according to government data. Stockpiles at the Cushing storage hub also expanded. The market continues to monitor a flurry of tariff demand letters being issued by Trump, with Brazil the latest to be slapped with high levies, following threats on copper imports and other countries. The president's trade regime and vows of retaliation by targeted nations has rattled global markets. Oil is still marginally higher this week, despite a decision by OPEC+ on Saturday to raise output more than expected in August. The group is betting on robust summer demand to help absorb the extra barrels, but there are concerns the market is facing a glut later in the year as peak consumption declines.
