2 men file plea agreements in flag pole thefts

News

August 8th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

CARROLL, Iowa (AP) – Two men will plead guilty in connection with the theft of hundreds of flagpoles that had been intended to display flags at a Carroll cemetery over the Memorial Day weekend. The Carroll Daily Times Herald reports 37-year-old Christopher Gay and 20-year-old Chance Kinney, both of Lake City, filed plea agreements Monday. They each faced two felony theft charges. The agreement called for one of those charges to be dropped. Earlier, 18-year-old Jerad Reed, of Lohrville, pleaded guilty to theft.

All were accused of stealing two trailers from the Carroll American Legion with about 550 metal flagpoles and then trying to sell them at two salvage yards. The businesses refused and later identified some of the suspects. The legion planned to fly flags on the poles at the Carroll Cemetery.

Marshals arrest Iowa sex offender in Oklahoma

News

August 8th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

CHEROKEE, Iowa (AP) – Authorities have apprehended a 42-year-old man who failed to return to an Iowa sex offender treatment program. The Iowa Department of Human Services announced Friday that U.S. marshals apprehended Cory West on Thursday night at a Tulsa, Oklahoma, motel. Police had been searching for West since Sunday after he didn’t return from his job to the Civil Commitment Unit for Sex Offender in Cherokee, Iowa.131018535b

The Wapello County Court ordered West into the civil commitment program at the Cherokee Mental Health Institute in 2011. He became eligible for a transition release program last fall. The commitment program provides long-term inpatient treatment for violent sexual predators who have served their prison terms but are considered likely to commit future offenses.

West will remain in custody in Oklahoma pending extradition to Iowa.

Chiefs unsteady, uneven in preseason opener

Sports

August 8th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Depending on which part of the Chiefs’ preseason opener Andy Reid chose to watch, he could have come away thrilled about the prospects for the upcoming season or deeply depressed.

There were two touchdowns by the defense – and many more blown coverages. There were three-and-outs and fumbles by the offense – along with long touchdown passes and dynamic runs. On special teams, there was an electrifying punt return touchdown but several boneheaded decisions.

The Chiefs wound up beating Cincinnati 41-39 on Thursday night, but the result was mostly a moot point. Reid said there were positives and negatives from the preseason opener, and plenty of work to do before the Chiefs visit Carolina on Aug. 17.
