The Adams County Sheriff’s Office says a Union County man was arrested early this (Saturday) morning after authorities investigated a report of a car in the ditch near the 54 mile marker off of Highway 34. Deputies determined the driver, 43-year old Timothy Coleman, of Creston, was intoxicated. He was taken into custody at around 1:15-a.m. on an OWI charge.  Coleman was being held in the Adams County Jail pending an initial court appearance or the posting of bond.

A man suspected of opening fire and wounding a Sioux City Police officer following a traffic stop on Monday, has been captured in Texas. According to Sioux City TV station KCAU,  21-year old Jamal Dean was taken into custody early this (Saturday) morning in Texas, by United States Marshals.  Dean was being held on an arrest warrant for Attempted Murder in connection with the April 29 shooting of Sioux City Police Officer Kevin McCormick.

McCormick stopped a car that Dean was a passenger in when Dean allegedly stepped out of the car and fired on the officer. One of the bullets crashed through McCormick’s windshield and hit him in the head. The officer was treated at an area hospital and has since been released. Sioux City Police Chief Doug Young says after realizing he was shot, Officer McCormick still called in a description of the suspect.

Dean fled the area after the shooting and was the subject of a search that spanned from Omaha to Denver and beyond. Officials say several agencies worked closely together to ensure the suspect was found. Dean is suspected of being involved in several other shootings. He also was wanted on a warrant out for his arrest for burglarizing a Sioux City home with his brother Levon, who was arrested Monday night while they were searching for Jamal. Court records indicate after Levon and Jamal broke into the home, Jamal hit the home’s owner on the head with the butt of a .22 rifle, splitting the victim’s head open. The same weapon is believed to have been used in Monday’s shooting of officer McCormick.

Authorities in Harrison County say a woman from Missouri Valley died Friday morning from injuries she suffered during in a single-vehicle crash near Logan. 39-year old Amy Hardy, died at Alegent Health Community Memorial Hospital in Missouri Valley, following the crash that resulted in her being ejected from her 2002 Ford Taurus when it left the road and hit a tree. The accident happened about two-miles west of Logan on 260th Street.

According to the sheriff’s department, Hardy was traveling west on 260th, when her car’s tires dropped off the edge of the roadway. The woman over-corrected and lost control of her car, which entered the north ditch before striking a large tree. The accident scene was discovered a little after 9-a.m. Friday, but authorities aren’t sure when it actually took place. An investigation into the crash continues.

That group collected more than half a billion dollars in Social Security benefits in 2011. A majority — 57 percent — were women. nearly 30 percent of all elderly Iowans were living alone. Four other states have a higher percentage of elderly residents. The Census Bureau also found three-quarters of Iowans over the age of 65 were born here.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Congressman Steve King says he will not run for the U.S. Senate, opening the race to lesser-known Republican aspirants in the race to succeed Democrat Tom Harkin. King, a six-term House member from western Iowa, says in a press statement issued Friday, “I will not be a candidate for the United States Senate in 2014.” King’s decision follows the same decision Thursday by Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds last week and Congressman Tom Latham in February.

Republicans need six seats to gain control of the Senate. Harkin, elected in 1984, announced Jan. 26 that he would retire after five terms. Congressman Bruce Braley is the only Democrat to declare his candidacy. The Waterloo House member raised $1.1 million since declaring his candidacy in February.
