CARTER LAKE, Iowa (AP) — Some 150 years after suffering the loss of tribal lands and near-extinction at the hands of the U.S. government, the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska is celebrating a triumph with the opening of a casino intended to secure a stream of revenue for the long-struggling tribe. The only thing standing in its way? An effort by governments in Iowa and Nebraska to strip it of the newly-opened casino.

MONTEZUMA, Iowa (AP) — The former farmhand charged with first-degree murder in the abduction and stabbing death of 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa wants to have his trial moved to a more diverse county. The Des Moines Register reports that 24-year-old Cristhian Bahena Rivera’s lawyers filed a motion Friday asking that the trial be moved out of Poweshiek County, so there can be more minority representation in the jury pool.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Police say they’ve arrested a man suspected of setting a Cedar Rapids apartment fire that injured him and four others, including a firefighter. Station KCRG reports that 24-year-old Dallas Tullis, of Cedar Rapids was arrested Friday and charged with first-degree arson, assault on a police officer, assault causing injury and interference with official acts.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a newborn boy has been surrendered to state custody under Iowa’s safe haven law. The Iowa Department of Human Services says it is the 33rd time the safe haven provision has been used since it went into effect in 2001. The department says the baby was born Feb. 2 at an Iowa hospital and released to the custody of DHS officials. Iowa lawmakers changed state law following a 2001 case in which a mother killed her home-delivered newborn in eastern Iowa.
