HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -
The U.S. Navy confirmed Friday that a Chinese spy ship has been detected off the islands.
The reason? They're eyeing RIMPAC, the world's largest international maritime exercise.
China was uninvited from this year's RIMPAC exercises because of the nation's militarization of contested islands in the South China Sea.
The country had participated in the last two RIMPAC, or Rim of the Pacific, exercises — in 2014 and 2016.
Lt. Tim Gorman, of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, said in a statement Friday that authorities are "monitoring a Chinese navy surveillance ship in the vicinity of Hawaii."
"We expect the ship will remain outside of U.S. territorial seas and not operate in a manner that disrupts the Rim of the Pacific exercise," Gorman said.
China's absence has been a major headline of this year's RIMPAC exercises.
At RIMPAC's opening ceremony, Navy Adm. John Aquilino said that China's actions in the South China Sea are "exactly contradictory" to the maritime exercises. This year, 25 nations are participating, bringing 47 surface ships, five submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel.
Aquilino said the U.S. will cooperate with China where it can and compete and confront with the nation where it must.
"This entire exercise is about nations cooperating for peace, stability, security, and a free and open Indo-Pacific region,” he said.
@seekingthetruth Excellent dig!
Pam time for a re-set
The FBI is trying to hunt down whoever sent a letter to First Baptist Dallas with white powder inside.
Police and Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to the church around 1 p.m. Friday. They say an employee opened the envelope in a private area.
Medics checked out the employee while Hazmat teams tested the substance. They found the powder was non-toxic. The employee is fine.

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) -
Three former FedEx workers have been indicted for stealing cash right out of the U.S. Mail.
According to the indictment, the three women likely targeted religious organizations because there was a strong chance the mail would have cash.
"We disagree with the fact that any churches were singled out to be targeted,” said attorney Mike Scholl, who represents Crystal Berry. "It sounds like they're admitting they did it they just weren't targeting churches. We've entered a not guilty plea at this point so there has been no admission on behalf of my client in court."
Berry, Tiara Williams, and Kimberly Smith were indicted for stealing the mail and its contents.
A news release says in 2015, the women worked in the same area of the Memphis FedEx Hub and they would search through mail, remove some of the contents and smuggle the items off the premises.
All three women were fired from FedEx.
In a statement FedEx wrote:
"We do not tolerate illegal activity in our network, and we fully cooperated with authorities in their investigation. The individuals in the indictment are no longer employed by FedEx. As this is a law enforcement matter, additional inquiries should be directed to authorities."
Since it is a federal indictment, mugshots and details are not readily available. It appears the women have all bonded out and will have court appearances to deal with their cases.

Peter Strzok Gets Hammered For Over Four Hours By House Republicans
You have gained a rank @Kristabelle, you just advanced to 1 . Thanks for all you do Patriot!
SALT LAKE CITY — A retired Army intelligence officer from Utah accused of being a spy for China and selling classified national defense information pleaded not guilty in federal court Friday.
Because of the classified documents the government will rely on to prosecute Ron Rockwell Hansen, of Syracuse, authorities will use a secure room — sensitive compartmented information facility, or SCIF — in the courthouse to store the evidence. Prosecutors, attorneys and other court workers must be granted top-secret clearance to access the information.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Warner imposed an order to prevent the sharing of documents outside the case. The court also appointed a classified information security officer.
The government gave Rockwell's lawyers CDs containing 32,000 pages of unclassified documents Friday, which prosecutor Robert Lund said amounts to less than 10 percent of the evidence.
Federal agents arrested Hansen last month as he was preparing to board a flight from Seattle to China. His arrest came after a four-year FBI investigation, 14 search warrants, dozens of subpoenas and witness interviews, and "techniques that we can't discuss in open court," Lund said.
