LAS VEGAS (AP) Nevada stopped using Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccines on Tuesday while federal authorities investigate reports of some people in other states experiencing serious reactions, including blood clots.

A Michigan woman will serve a jail sentence after she crashed her car into two state trooper cruisers.
On Friday, Christina Marie Eads, 26, Lincoln Park, was transported from the jail to the courtroom of Wood County Common Pleas Judge Matt Reger.
She had been indicted in September for two counts criminal damaging or endangering, both first-degree misdemeanors, and failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer, a third-degree felony.
Eads pleaded guilty Nov. 6 to failure to comply with the remaining two counts dismissed at sentencing, which was Friday.
âThe whole issue that she had in Wood County ⦠started when she found out her significant other was cheating on her,â said defense attorney Sarah Roller, adding that the man is the father of her child.
