Southeastern Iowa Mayor charged with Felony Sex Abuse

News

January 24th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Washington, Iowa) –  Officials with the Iowa Department of Public Safety report Jaron Rosien, the Mayor of Washington (Iowa), turned himself-in this (Tuesday) afternoon. Rosien was wanted by Washington County Law Enforcement authorities on criminal charge of Sex Abuse 3rd Degree (Class C Felony).

The charges are a result of an investigation into an incident that allegedly took place January 8th. On January 11th, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) conducted an interview with a 27-year-old male who alleged he was sexually abused by Rosien at a bar on January 8th. Iowa DCI obtained a search warrant for the internal security surveillance footage of the bar on January 12th.

Investigators say footage from the bar shows an individual believed to be Rosien approaching the victim at approximately 1:39 am. Footage shows the individual making sexual contact multiple times with the victim. According to the criminal complaint, Rosien told officials he had behaved “flirtatiously” with an individual matching the victim’s description, but that he could not recall specific incidents due to his own level of intoxication.

Rosien has served the city of Washington since 2014, first as a council member from 2014-2018 and as Mayor from 2018 to present. He released the following statement in response to the allegations:

“I take these allegations very seriously. I also take this job, its duties, and those that rely on me to complete them, very seriously. For this reason I will respectfully step back from the formal role in order to focus on what is required. During this time I think of and wish to thank my family, friends, and community for their support.”

Millie Younquist will step in to carry the duties of mayor during this time.

The investigation into this matter was conducted by Agents within the Major Crime Unit of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation; assisted by the Office of the Washington County Attorney and the Office of the Iowa Attorney General – Area Prosecutions Division.

Fort Dodge Police investigate Threat of Terrorism at Saint Edmond School: 16-year old detained

News

January 24th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Fort Dodge, Iowa) – Officials with the Fort Dodge Police Department report that around 6:30 this  (Tuesday) morning,  members of the Fort Dodge Police Department began to investigate information that had been received concerning a potential threat involving the use of a firearm by a student on the Saint Edmond school campus.
Members of the Fort Dodge Police Department Patrol Division as well as the Criminal Investigations Division, and Webster County Attorney’s office responded to the school to investigate this threat. The student who is suspected of making the reported threat was quickly detained. Following the initial investigation and based on information received, there is no credible evidence to suggest that a firearm ever was in the possession of the student in question, nor did a firearm ever make it onto the Saint Edmond School property. At this time there is no reason to believe that the physical safety of any student or staff was ever in danger.
In response to this threat, a sixteen (16) year old male student has been detained by law enforcement officials and held on the following charges:
* Threat of Terrorism (D Felony)
* Harassment 1st Degree (Aggravated Misdemeanor)
The suspect was transported to Central Iowa Detention in Eldora with this matter being referred to the Webster County Attorney’s Office and Juvenile Court Services for further action. The Fort Dodge Police Department is continuing to investigate this incident and encourages anyone with information to contact police immediately. Information may also be submitted anonymously via Crime Stoppers. As in all matters, the suspect is considered innocent of all charges until proven guilty by a court of law.
Authorities say “This incident highlights the importance of the idea of ‘If You See Something, Say Something”. The combination of students and parents, along with a collaborative effort by the Saint Edmond School System, Fort Dodge Police Department, and Webster County Attorney’s Office led to this swift resolution. We would like to thank the parents and students impacted by this unfortunate incident for their patience and understanding while local law enforcement conducted the investigation.

Lee earns 2nd Big Ten Wrestler of the Week Honor

Sports

January 24th, 2023 by admin

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Fifth-year senior Spencer Lee has been named the Big Ten Wrestler of the Week, it was announced Tuesday by the league office.  It is Lee’s second honor this season and the sixth of his career.

The Murrysville, Pennsylvania, native earned the distinction after posting back-to-back falls in dual wins over No. 11 Nebraska and No. 16 Wisconsin.  Lee pinned the Huskers’ third-ranked Liam Cronin in 38 seconds and No. 4 Eric Barnett in 4:38.

The falls were Lee’s fifth and sixth consecutive pins this season – a career long streak.  His last four falls have come against wrestlers ranked in the top 10 nationally.  Lee’s 38-second pin over Cronin was tied for the third-fastest of his collegiate career and it was his 10th career fall in under one minute and 27th first-period fall.

Lee is 10-0 with 10 bonus-point victories this season and he is currently riding a 48-match winning streak dating back to the 2019 season.  It is the ninth-longest streak in program history.

Lee was previously named the Big Ten Co-Wrestler of the Week on Jan. 11.  He also earned the distinction once during the 2017-18 season, twice during the 2020-21 campaign and once last season.

Iowa has had three weekly honorees this season as Cobe Siebrecht was named the Big Ten Wrestler of the Week on Nov. 30.

The second-ranked Hawkeyes return to action Friday, traveling to Happy Valley to face top-ranked Penn State at 7:30 p.m. (CT) from the Bryce Jordan Center. The dual will be televised live on BTN.

January 24th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa)  – It’s officially tax season as the Internal Revenue Service has started accepting digital tax returns. Christopher Miller, the I-R-S spokesman for Iowa, says most Americans qualify to file their taxes online for free. “Each software provider in the Free File program sets up their own eligibility requirements, so it’s important to check them out,” Miller says. “We have a special tool on the Free File site that will help you decide.” Miller says electronic filing of your taxes is the safest, easiest, fastest method to use, and it also means a speedier refund check, if you’re due one.

Miller says, “You could do your taxes 24/7 in the comfort of your own home, using a smartphone or a tablet, or of course, your computer.” Miller says there’s a wide variety of free e-filing software available online. “Free File lets anyone who earned $73,000 or less in 2022 use brand-name tax software to file their taxes online for free,” he says.

Governor to speak with victim of Monday’s shooting in Des Moines

News

January 24th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa’s governor says she hopes to speak soon with the leader of a Des Moines youth program who’s in serious condition after a shooting at the facility. Des Moines Police have identified the two students who were killed yesterday.

In 2017, Governor Reynolds was in an anti-crime video produced by Will Holmes, the founder of Starts Right Here. “He’s a really good friend of mine and this is a man that has fought every single day to really help these kids that are at risk,” Reynolds said, “to help them get a GED, to help them get training, to help them get a job.”

Holmes, who raps under the name Will Keeps, founded Starts Right Here for Des Moines Public Schools students. In 2021, Reynolds held a public event at the facility in downtown Des Moines. “It was so important to Will that they had a beautiful facility to go to so that these kids felt that this was better than being on the streets and being involved in a gang and being involved in drugs,” Reynolds said.

Des Moines Police have charged an 18-year-old with two counts of first degree murder for killing students Gionni (jee-AH-nee) Dameron, who was 18, and 16-year-old Rashad Carr. Des Moines Police say 18-year-old Preston Walls was also a student at Starts Right Here and he’s been charged with attempted murder for seriously wounding the program’s founder. Holmes is in serious, but stable condition and has a long recovery ahead, according to a statement from his family. They said he’s “more determined than ever” to continue working with at-risk youth.
