Audubon County Sheriff’s officials say two Audubon teens face various charges associated with an incident at the Audubon High School. Authorities say school officials notified them of a flash drive that had been turned over to them which included videos and pictures taken from inside the girls locker room. The pictures dated back to November of 2013. Through an investigation the victims have been identified and notified of the incident.
15 year old Micheal Jim Rudolph has been charged with third degree harassment, invasion of privacy (a serious misdemeanor), and extortion (a class D felony). Rudolph was taken into custody on Thursday and is currently being held in juvenile detention. 16 year old Jordan Rene Meaike of Audubon has also been charged with invasion of privacy (a serious misdemeanor) for her involvement in taking the videos and pictures in the locker room. She was then released to her parents. The Incident remains under investigation.

VILLISCA – Ammonia that got released from an agricultural cooperative in Villisca earlier this week is contained and is being recovered. The recovered solution of water and ammonia will be land applied to crop fields.
An unknown amount of anhydrous ammonia was released into a city storm sewer intake and then flowed into a small unnamed tributary of the West Nodaway River. The ammonia is believed to have originated at the United Farmers Mercantile Co-op in Villisca and to have occurred sometime between 1:30 p.m. Tuesday and 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. It was reported to the DNR by a citizen.
Under instruction from the DNR, the coop constructed a dam on the tributary and is pumping it to be land applied. By Friday afternoon, approximately 44,000 gallons of the solution had been recovered. The coop is also flushing the tributary from the storm sewer to remove the contamination.
Although the incident is still under investigation by the DNR, it appears that soil at the cooperative had been contaminated with anhydrous ammonia and came in contact with water when a water line broke. Anhydrous ammonia is in vapor form until it comes in contact with water and becomes soluble. When the water line was being repaired, the ammonia-mixed water got pumped to a city storm sewer that eventually empties into the unnamed tributary of the West Nodaway River.
DNR field office staff is continuing to monitor the clean up.
DUNKERTON, Iowa (AP) — A plan by some Dunkerton High School players to boycott a football game has prompted officials to forfeit the match. District Superintendent Jim Stanton told the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier on Friday that some students decided to boycott the game to show support for another player who was suspended.
At a Thursday school board meeting, officials stood by a decision to impose an in-school suspension on the player because of his role in a fight. Another student involved also was disciplined. Dunkerton, which plays eight-man football, will forfeit the game against Don Bosco High School.
Stanton says the decision to forfeit was made because of concern that with fewer players, those who did play would be at greater risk of injury. Dunkerton is about 10 miles northeast of Waterloo.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — One of two health insurers providing coverage to low-income Iowa residents through a state program is withdrawing its services. The Iowa Department of Human Services announced Friday that CoOportunity Health will soon no longer be an insurance option for those enrolled the Iowa Health and Wellness Program, the modified Medicaid expansion offered in the state as part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.
Under the federally funded program, some people are enrolled in a state-run health plan and others get premiums covered for private insurance. About 112,000 people are in the program, with roughly 26,000 on private insurance. CoOpportunity covered 9,700 people. State officials say they will get similar benefits from a different carrier. CoOpportunity spokeswoman Leigh McGivern says it was too costly for the insurer to continue coverage.
