Police in Red Oak say one person was arrested Monday night on burglary charges. 24-year old Ian Anthony Clarke, of Red Oak, was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on felony Burglary in the 2nd Degree, and Attempted Burglary in the 2nd degree, charges. His bond was set at $10,000.
Officials says his arrest stems from an incident or incidents that occurred in the 1400 block of north 6th Street, in Red Oak, where Clark allegedly went to a residence and forced open the back door to gain entry. Clark fled from the home and allegedly attempted to gain entry into a second residence, but was not successful.

A new trial date has been set for a western Iowa youth softball coach who was convicted in March on four counts of sexual abuse. The Daily NonPareil says 47-year old John Osborn, of Council Bluffs, will stand trial for a second time because of new evidence presented by his defense team related to charges on four counts of third-degree sexual abuse. The trial is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 4th.
Fourth District Court Judge Richard Davidson had found Osborn guilty of the charges on March 26th in connection to alleged sexual conduct with a 14-year-old girl last summer. At the time, Davidson found that the state had proved Osborn and the girl engaged in sex acts on the night of July 16 into July 17th, 2014.
The 14-year-old testified that the sexual encounter occurred sometime that night around 11 p.m. to midnight, while Osborn’s daughter slept in the family’s living room. In his verdict, Davidson said a “window of opportunity” for the acts opened from 11:05 to 11:35 p.m. At trial, Osborn told the court he went to bed at 11 p.m. and didn’t get up until the next morning. Osborn’s daughter testified that she was awake throughout the night until about 3 a.m.
Defense attorney Jordan Glaser filed a motion for a new trial or judgement of acquittal, noting new evidence that revealed the daughter had texted with a friend, with messages sent in numerous intervals spanning from 10:47 p.m. to 11:31-p.m. Davidson granted a new trial because of the that evidence.
Weather kept farmers out of the fields much of last week, but the latest crop report shows planting is still on schedule. The report shows 92-percent of the corn has been planted, which is six days ahead of last year and five days ahead of the five-year average. Northwest Iowa stayed ahead of the pace — with 98-percent of the corn planting there complete. Southwest Iowa lags behind the state average with just 75-percent of the corn crop in. Sixty-three-percent of the corn has emerged, which is one week ahead of last year and five days ahead of normal. Soybean planting crossed the halfway point at 51-percent complete — three-days days ahead of last year and two days ahead of the average.

NEW YORK (AP) — Pinch-hitter John Mayberry Jr. had an RBI infield hit with one out in the bottom of the 14th inning, lifting the New York Mets to a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night after blowing another lead for Matt Harvey. Lucas Duda beat a shifted, drawn-in infield with an opposite field hit for a run-scoring single off John Lackey in the fourth, but Jason Heyward had a sacrifice fly in the ninth off closer Jeurys Familia as the Mets wasted another 1-0 lead for their ace.
The division leaders then struck out a combined 12 times in extras before Sam Tuivailala (0-1) walked Eric Campbell and Duda to open the 14th. Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal relived and got Michael Cuddyer to ground into a fielder’s choice. Rosenthal then walked intentionally Daniel Murphy to load the bases.
Mayberry, who entered batting .114, grounded the first pitch off diving drawn-in shortstop Jhonny Peralta’s glove.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Mitch Morse would have been hard-pressed to find a better opportunity. Start with the fact that the rookie offensive lineman was drafted by the Chiefs, just down the road from where he played in college. Throw in the fact that he was picked well before most experts anticipated — and what that meant for his first contract.
Then consider this: The Chiefs watched their starting center sign with the Oakland Raiders in free agency, leaving a gaping void in the middle of their offensive line. Suddenly, the second-round draft pick could be counted on by a playoff contender.
