(DES MOINES) – Gov. Terry Branstad has ordered all flags in Iowa be flown at half-staff from 5 p.m. on Friday, June 27, 2014, until 8 a.m. on Monday, June 30, 2014, in honor of Marine Corps Corporal Adam F. Wolff, 25, of Ottumwa, Iowa.  Cpl. Wolff was killed following an attack with an improvised explosive device in the Nad Ali district of Afghanistan. Two other Marines and a military service dog were also killed in the attack.

The Governor’s directive applies to all U.S. and state flags under the control of the state. H.R. 692, signed in 2007, requires federal government agencies in the state to comply with the Governor’s Executive Order that the U.S. flag be flown at half-staff in the event of the death of a member of the Armed Forces.

Flags will be at half-staff on the State Capitol Building and on flag displays in the Capitol Complex, and upon all public buildings, grounds, and facilities throughout the state. Individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties and other government subdivisions are encouraged to fly the flag at half-staff for the same length of time as a sign of respect.

Montgomery County deputies filed charged against two people after a minor traffic mishap.  Deputies report that on Thursday just after 10:00 pm they were called to the 400 block of Thorn Avenue in Stanton for a hit and run.  When they arrived 55 year old Karen Louise Jones of Stanton said that her 2006 Dodge Stratus was legally parked in the 700 block of Thorn Avenue and that a vehicle had struck the left rear of her car causing damage.  She claimed that she was not able to get a vehicle description because she heard the accident but didn’t see the vehicle.  Deputies determined that the scene did not match what Jones had described.  A short time later, deputies found the accident scene in Anderson Park in Stanton.  After investigation, deputies determined that Jones’ son, 15 year old Christopher Owen Jones of Stanton was driving the vehicle in a reckless manner and struck a tree near the baseball field in the park causing about $3000 damage.  Karen Jones was arrested for filing a false report and permitting an unauthorized minor to drive.  Christopher Jones was cited with a violation of a graduated drivers license and with reckless driving.
