Authorities in Iowa say a Nebraska man convicted in Mills County on four charges related  to the sexual abuse of two girls,  will be transferred to Nebraska,  where he faces more serious charges that could lead to two life sentences. According to the Omaha World-Herald, 64-year old John R. Schondelmeyer, of Bellevue, NE, is charged in Nebraska, with two counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child less than 12 years of age, a felony. He also was charged with two counts of incest, also a felony. If convicted, he could be sentenced to a maximum two life sentences for the sexual assault charges and 40 years in prison and a $50,000 fine for the incest charges.

On Tuesday, a Mills County jury found Shondelmeyer guilty on two counts of second-­degree sexual abuse and two counts of lascivious acts with a child, all felonies, related to an incident last September involving two girls, ages 8 and 9.  In Iowa, Schondelmeyer faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison for each sexual abuse charge and a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine for the lascivious acts charges.

Police in Council Bluffs arrested the driver of a vehicle following  a chase that began at around 2-a.m., Wednesday. The Daily NonPareil reports the incident ended with 21-year old Dylan V. Rooney, of Council Bluffs, being taken into custody for alleged drunken driving. Police officials said an officer saw Rooney, who was in a 2001 Chevy Cavalier, ignore a flashing red light at South 32nd Street and 23rd Avenue.

The officer pulled up behind the Cavalier and initiated a traffic stop, but Rooney allegedly sped-off, and eventually failed to stop for a traffic signal at Nebraska Avenue while on 35th Street, before he lost control of the Cavalier. The vehicle ended up in the parking lot of a nearby hotel. Officers arrested Rooney on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated-first offense, felony eluding, reckless driving, driving while barred, two counts of failure to maintain control of a motor vehicle, interference with official acts, speeding more than 20 mph above the limit and possession of drug equipment.

Rooney was released from the Pottawattamie County Jail after posting a $5,000 bond.
