(Radio Iowa) – Court documents show a former northeast Iowa policeman accused of stalking and assault is planning to plead guilty, but not to those charges. Corey Harguth reports.

Scheevel is one of a handful of former officials in the small town of Armstrong who’ve been charged with a variety of crimes. Two former city clerks pleaded guilty after a special investigation released by the state auditor’s office in 2017 found Armstrong’s finances were a tangled mess.
