Des Moines man injured after his cycle hit a deer on I-80

News

May 26th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

A central Iowa man was flown by LifeNet helicopter to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, following an accident early this (Saturday) morning two-miles east of Avoca on Interstate 80 in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol says 49-year old Christian John Zobel, of Des Moines, was traveling east on I-80 at around 6-a.m., when his 20100 Harley Davidson struck a deer. The cycle toppled onto its left side and continued into the south ditch, while Christian came to rest in the eastbound lanes of traffic. The Patrol’s report did not indicate if he was wearing a helmet, and a report on his condition is not currently available.

Phillies beat Cards 5-3 in 10 innings, Friday night

Sports

May 26th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Hunter Pence hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning off Jason Motte and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 on Friday night. The Phillies won their third in a row after surviving a fourth inning in which Pence, the right fielder, and Shane Victorino, the center fielder, lost balls in the lights. The winning runs came too late for Cliff Lee, a 17-game winner last season still seeking his first win of 2012. Juan Pierre singled to start the 10th against Motte, working his second inning. Pence had been hitless in nine at-bats before lining the St. Louis closer’s first pitch over the right field wall for his team-leading 11th homer. He’s 3 for 10 against Motte (3-2) with two homers and three RBIs.

Young people questioned after political yard sign yanked out of yard in Villisca

News

May 26th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

No charges were filed following a case of apparent criminal trespassing and mischief Friday night, in Villisca. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says they received a report at around 9:05-p.m., about an incident which occurred at 111 west High Street, in Villisca, whereby it was determined that a pickup occupied by two young men had stopped in front of the residence.

One of the males got out of the pickup and entered the yard, grabbed a “Stephens for Sheriff” sign, yanked it out of the ground and threw it onto the grass. That same person returned to the pickup, which then took off. The Sheriff’s Department says the residents saw the act of Criminal Mischief take place, and managed to locate the suspects.

Officials say the resident spoke with the unidentified parties allegedly involved in the incident, and told them to stay off their property. Those same individuals were then observed by the resident leaving Villisca. The political advertisement did not appear to have been significantly damaged, and the residents declined to press charges.
