DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa is seeing a “staggering” number of claims for unemployment benefits as the coronavirus pummels the state and national economy. Officials say the daily number of unemployment claims being filed is similar to what the state would usually receive in a busy month. The job losses are piling up as Iowa has taken moves to limit the spread of the virus by ordering the closure of restaurants, bars and other gathering spots and encouraged people to stay at home. Because of that, Gov. Kim Reynolds on Friday signed a state emergency declaration designed to offer an array of relief to Iowa residents.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate has rescheduled three upcoming special elections to take place this summer as part of efforts to avoid crowds of people gathering and possibly spreading the new coronavirus. Pate says the elections will now be held on July 7. They include special elections in Cedar Falls and Craig to fill city county vacancies and one in Woodbury County to fill a Board of Supervisors vacancy. Pate says he consulted with the auditors of all three counties before rescheduling the elections. He says July 7 is the first date available for the elections.

MANCHESTER, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a Davenport man was arrested after his DNA matched samples collected after a 2011 sexual assault reported in rural eastern Iowa. Delaware County court records say 33-year-old Zachary Broders is charged with third-degree sexual abuse. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call Friday from The Associated Press. Court documents say a woman reported in July 2011 that she was assaulted by a man who gave her a ride to rural Ryan. Authorities say rape kit DNA samples collected then matched a DNA sample from Broders, who had been arrested elsewhere.

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa authorities have identified a man shot to death earlier this week as he held a woman hostage, as well as the troopers involved in the shooting. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said in a news release Thursday that 35-year-old Darwin Barnett Foy, of Fort Dodge, was killed by troopers Monday afternoon in Webster City. The three Iowa State Troopers involved were Sgt. James Smith and Troopers Tyrel Williamson and Jeremy Schaffer. The Iowa Public Safety Department says Foy was shot hours after officers responded to a woman’s 911 call. Officials say Foy had threatened to shoot the woman when the troopers went into the home and shot him.
