MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — Military experience is a tricky balancing act for Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. The South Bend, Indiana, mayor points out that he has more military experience than the current commander in chief, President Donald Trump, but he’s also careful not to overstate his seven-month deployment in Afghanistan as an intelligence officer. While careful not to call himself a combat veteran, Buttigieg has promoted a photo showing him holding an M4 rifle.

MIDDLETOWN, Iowa (AP) — A Des Moines County sheriff’s office deputy has been injured when his car collided with a truck hauling a trailer. The Iowa Department of Public Safety says 51-year-old Lt.

The crash happened about 12:15 p.m. when an eastbound car driven by Williams crossed into the westbound lane and collided with a truck pulling a grain trailer. The truck driver wasn’t injured. Williams was flown to a hospital at the University of Iowa.

HAMILTON, Iowa (AP) — Crews have found the body of a woman while fighting a mobile home fire in the tiny southern Iowa city of Hamilton. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office says firefighters found the body of 56-year-old Rhonda Kiler early Monday after being called to the fire. Firefighters worked for about 45 minutes to douse the fire before finding Kiler’s body in the home. Local and state investigators are still working to determine the cause of the fire. Hamilton is about 45 miles southeast of Des Moines.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa jury has awarded $1.4 million to a Burmese immigrant who wanted a circumcision but instead got a vasectomy. The Des Moines Register reports that the jury last week leveled a $2 million judgment against Dr. Kevin Birusingh but decided Zaw Zaw was 30% responsible. Birusingh’s attorney says Zaw, who isn’t fluent in English, signed two informed consents that were translated into Burmese, and completed four consultations. The lawsuit says there’s no word for “vasectomy” in Burmese.
