DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Drake forward Joey King, a Missouri Valley All-Freshman team pick last season, is leaving the program. The Bulldogs announced Friday that King will transfer less than two months after coach Mark Phelps was replaced with Ray Giacoletti.
King averaged 6.9 points and 2.9 rebounds last season. King, a native of Eagan, Minn., played in all 32 games and shot 42.8 percent from the field. Giacoletti says he respects King’s decision to leave the team.
Police in Red Oak report the arrest today (Friday), of 61-year old Ginger Lee Urban, of Red Oak. Urban was taken into custody at around 8:40-a.m., on warrants out of Pottawattamie County, and Sarpy County, Nebraska, for shoplifting (Theft in the 3rd degree). She was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $2,000 bond, pending transport to the Pott. County Jail.
The Iowa Department of Public Safety says as motorists take to the roads during the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, Iowa law enforcement officials are urging everyone to “Buckle up.” Officers around the state will be out in force as part of the 2013 National “Click it or Ticket” seat belt enforcement mobilization, cracking down on motorists who are not wearing their seat belts, as well as other traffic violators. The enforcement effort runs May 20th through June 2nd.
In 2012, there were 364 traffic fatalities in Iowa, according to data from the DOT. 167 of those victims, or almost 46-percent, were not wearing their seat belts. For those killed in crashes at night, the percent of unbuckled motorists grew another 15.5-percent.
During a four-day Special Traffic Enforcement Program (sTEP) in March 2013, 205 law enforcement agencies and 1,828 officer reported 16,922 traffic violations. 388 crashes were investigated, and 879 motorists were assisted.
ONAWA, Iowa (AP) – An Onawa woman will learn next week whether she’s been convicted of murdering her 15-month-old son. Judge Jeffrey Neary said Thursday, that he’ll announce his verdict May 17th, in the case against 25-year-old Ashley Cameron. She was charged with first-degree murder and child endangerment in the death of Markis Dahms. Neary heard the case during a nonjury trial last month.
Investigators testified that Cameron told them Markis had vomited in the bathtub and that she held his head under a running faucet to clean him, repeating that process as he vomited four or five more times. Cameron testified that she’d left him in the tub to get some items and found him face down in the water when she returned. Her attorney suggested that Markis may have had a seizure.
