An altercation between two men and Police officers in Red Oak has resulted in arrests, but no reports of injuries. According to Red Oak Police, 19-year-old Shae Daniel Lewis and 22-year-old Justin Lewis Marsden, both of Red Oak, were taken into custody shortly after 11-p.m., on charges of Assault on a Peace Officer and Interference with official Acts.
Red Oak Police officers were sent to a home in the 1200 block of East Summit Street at around 11:05 p.m., following a report of person’s underage drinking alcohol. When they arrived one of the subjects identified as Daniel Lewis, allegedly became uncooperative and belligerent with Officers.
At one point Lewis allegedly placed his hands around an Officers throat. Another man, identified as Justin Marsden, allegedly grabbed the same Officer, resulting in a second physical altercation. After a brief struggle both Lewis and Marsden were brought into submission when Police deployed a Taser.
Lewis and Marsden were taken into custody and transported to the Montgomery County Law Enforcement Center, where they were being held on $1,000 cash bond each. And, as a result of the original investigation 18-year-old Cheyenne Musland, of Red Oak was cited and released on the charge of possessing alcohol while underage.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Jamaal Charles practiced in a limited capacity for the second straight day, raising hopes that the Chiefs’ Pro Bowl running back will be available for Sunday’s game in Miami. Charles sustained a high ankle sprain in last week’s loss to Denver.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said that Charles, who did not practice Wednesday, looked a little bit sore but did “OK” in the workout. Reid said that Charles’ ankle loosened up as practice went along and “we’ll just see how he does.”
If Charles is unable to go, Knile Davis would get the majority of carries for Kansas City.
An official with the Humane Society of the United States is responding to recent criticism that the animal rights organization is “anti-agriculture.” Joe Maxwell, the vice president for outreach with the H-S-U-S, says they have many thousands of members in Iowa and across the region. “The Humane Society of the United States is not trying to eliminate animal agriculture,” Maxwell says. “It does believe there are certain corporate industrialized ag policies and practices that are just inhumane.”
Maxwell specifically makes reference to tight quarters for laying hens and small gestation crates for sows. A spokesman for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association calls the Humane Society of the United States an “extremist activist group” that is “against livestock producers and cattle producers.” Other critics of the H-S-U-S have blasted it for having an alleged goal of ending all livestock operations. Maxwell says, “They try to take one piece of information and twist it to make it a negative and ignore the full truth and facts of who HSUS is and how we operate and what we’re for.”
He insists the organization isn’t against farmers, but it is against agricultural practices which treat animals cruelly. Maxwell farms in Missouri and is a former lieutenant governor in Missouri. He says people in Iowa and elsewhere need to know there are distortions of the truth and flat-out lies being told about the Humane Society of the United States. “It’s unfortunate but we are working hard every day for them know who we are, to get out into the countryside with our ag council members and have a dialogue with the farmers and ranchers,” he says.
The Humane Society of the United States has tangled with Iowa farming operations in recent years, including in 2012, threatening to sue 28 swine operations in Iowa over what it said were inhumane conditions. The National Pork Producers Council accuses what they refer to as “radical animal rights groups” of having the “goal of ending food-animal production in the U.S.”
After negative messages were made about the Nebraska State Fair last month, that state’s Governor Dave Heineman said: “The Humane Society of the United States is anti-agriculture and they’re out to destroy thousands of job opportunities for young people in this state.” A recent Purdue University study found many consumers get their view of farming from the H-S-U-S or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA.
