DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A northwest Iowa day care provider has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 3-year-old girl she was watching in late October. Sioux County Attorney Coleman McAllister says Rochelle Sapp has been arrested after test results confirmed the girl, Autumn Elgersma, died of blunt force trauma.
Rochelle Sapp
Sapp was initially charged with willful injury and child endangerment but on Oct. 31 when Autumn died McAllister dropped the charges. He says it was important to wait for a ruling on the cause of death and other tests. He says Sapp was arrested Thursday. Her case is not yet listed in court records and it’s unclear if she has an attorney.
Sapp initially reported Autumn had fallen but later said she threw her to the floor after becoming angry.

WASHINGTON (AP) – House Speaker John Boehner says the farm bill should be extended through January while negotiators work out differences on cuts to food stamps and how to restructure farm subsidies. Negotiators are working against a New Year’s deadline for expiration of some dairy subsidies. If those subsidies expire, new laws will kick in that could result in higher prices for a gallon of milk.
Boehner said Thursday he hasn’t “seen any real progress” on the farm bill. That’s in contrast to comments from House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas of Oklahoma, who said Wednesday that negotiators have made “great progress.”
Cuts to the $80 billion-a-year food stamp program are a major sticking point in talks.

It appears the Iowa Board of Regents has rejected former Iowa State University basketball player, Bubu Palo’s, appeal to rejoin the team. Palo was temporarily suspended, but then returned last season after a sexual assault charge against him was dropped. An unidentified complainant challenged that reinstatement, and I-S-U President Steven Leath made the decision to dismiss Palo for a violation of I-S-U’s Student Code of Conduct. Regents president, Bruce Rastetter, says the Board agrees with President Leath in a case involving a student’s appeal.
“I think the board reviewed the university’s decision and felt the same and we confirmed President Leath and the university’s decision,” Rastetter says. Rastetter says privacy laws prevent him from confirming that Palo was the subject of the vote, but the former athlete said he expected the Regents to hear his case Wednesday. Regents attorney Tom Evans says when a student loses an appeal before the Regents, they have a limited time to appeal to district court.
“Typically it’s 30 days. We’ll follow up and notify the student’s legal counsel and the legal counsel can notify the student,” Evans says.
