(Radio Iowa) – Jury selection is underway in the Dickinson County Courthouse for the trial of 44-year-old Kyle Ricke of Algona, who’s accused of murdering a policeman. Ricke’s charged in the fatal shooting last September of Algona Police Officer Kevin Cram. Cram was serving an arrest warrant to Ricke when Ricke allegedly pulled a handgun and shot the policeman.

The trial was moved to Dickinson County on a change of venue, but the start was delayed until today (Monday) due to recent flooding in the Spirit Lake area.
