And, on Saturday, a traffic stop on Highway 2 about six-miles west of Clarinda resulted in the arrest of 43-year-old Michael Gene Landon, Jr., of Council Bluffs, for Driving while License Suspended. Landon Jr. was transported to the Page County Jail and held on $491.25 bond, pending further court proceedings.
A charge is merely an accusation and that the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
DETROIT — University of Iowa senior Jacob Warner dropped a 3-2 decision to Penn State’s top-seeded Max Dean in the 197-pound finals of the 2022 NCAA Championships on Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena.
Warner and Dean traded escapes in the second and third periods before Dean countered a Warner shot and finished the deciding takedown with 36 second in the third. Warner added an escape in the final seconds for the final 3-2 score.
“I took a shot. He scored a go-behind. I have to follow through. I have to face him. I have to turn,” Warner said. “I still thought I was going to win that match. I thought I was going to get an escape to a takedown. I was going to go score to score. That is the mindset I need to have. It didn’t happen but I didn’t falter.
Warner advanced to his first NCAA finals and finished the tournament a four-time All-American. He placed seventh in 2019, fourth in 2021 and was a first-team All-American in 2020.
“I have what it takes. That is what this weekend proved to me. I can be on the top of that podium. I won a lot of hard matches this weekend and I just didn’t win the last one.
“I want to be on the top of that stand bad. I have gone up on the podium every year, seventh, fourth, second. There is only one spot left.”
Warner was one of five Hawkeyes to reach the medal stand. He advanced to the championship match by outscoring his four previous opponents 19-5. His appearance in the championship round extended Iowa’s streak of NCAA finalists to 32 consecutive tournaments.
Iowa placed third in the team race with 74.0 points and won a team trophy for the 13th time in the last 14 NCAA Championships.
Warner will return to the Iowa lineup in 2022-23 with three-time All-American Tony Cassioppi, three-time NCAA champion Spencer Lee, 2020 All-American Abe Assad, and former NCAA qualifiers Drake Ayala, Max Murin and Nelson Brands.
University of Iowa wrestlers Austin DeSanto, Alex Marinelli, Michael Kemerer and Tony Cassioppi finished their respective 2022 NCAA tournaments with All-America honors Saturday afternoon at Little Caesars Arena.
DeSanto placed third at 133. Kemerer placed fourth at 174. Marinelli placed fifth at 165 and Cassioppi placed seventh at 285. The quartet went 5-2 in the medal round to move Iowa into third place in the team race.
DeSanto won a pair of matches in the medal round to place third for the second straight year. He recorded four takedowns in a 10-6 win in the consolation semis and used two first-period takedowns to win, 7-4, in the consolation finals.
“Wrestling at Iowa has changed my life in the best way possible,” DeSanto said. “I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else on the planet. Iowa is the place to be. Tom and Terry would do anything for me. They have made me a better person. Not just in wrestling but in life.”
Kemerer split a pair of matches to place fourth and finished the tournament with his fifth All-America honor. He is the only wrestler in program history with five All-America honors. His 6-4 win in the consolation semis was the 100th of his career. He fell to fourth place following a 12-4 loss in the consolation finals.
“I’m a competitor and I hate losing, and it’s tough to put that aside but at the same time the other voice inside me is trying to tell me how much I have to be thankful for and how good my college career has been,” Kemerer said. “All of the good things I’d tell someone else I am trying to tell myself. It’s a little battle there.”
Marinelli won by medical forfeit in the fifth-place match. He finished his career a four-time Big Ten Conference champion and four-time All-American.
“My goal and my word that I like to describe myself is a champion,” Marinelli said. “If I don’t get what I want I can still be a champion off the mat. I can still be a champion the way I carry myself. I will be a champion for Christ. I will be a champion for my wife, my teammates, my friends, my family. In the future I’d love to coach. I’d love to lead someone to a victory, and I’ll be a champion for them.”
Cassioppi finished his tournament a three-time All-American with a 2-0 win in the seventh-place match. He won his final match with a second-period rideout and third-period escape.
“I didn’t necessarily have the results I had last year,” Cassioppi said. “I took third last year and seventh this year, but I am a lot better wrestler than I was last year. I have improved a lot and I need to keep that going on the mat. I need to keep movement on the mat.”
DETROIT – All three Iowa State wrestling All-Americans won their medal matches Saturday, as the Cyclones closed out the NCAA Championships at Little Caesars Arena.
David Carr (157) finished third, Marcus Coleman (184) finished seventh and Yonger Bastida (197) finished fifth, as Iowa State crowned its most NCAA All-Americans under head coach Kevin Dresser.
In the consolation semifinals, Carr beat No. 8 Will Lewan of Michigan 6-3. Carr led 2-1 after the first period with a takedown and escaped in the second to take a 3-1 lead. After Lewan escaped to start the third, Carr sealed the match with a takedown with :16 left. In the third-place match, Carr beat Nebraska’s No. 10 Peyton Robb 7-2 for the second time this season. Carr notched a takedown with :22 left in the first period to lead 2-0, while Robb’s escape to start the second was the only points of the period. Carr started the third on bottom, as he reversed Robb and put him on his back to seal his sixth-straight victory in the consolation round.
Coleman beat No. 11 Jonathan Loew of Cornell 8-3 in the seventh-place match. Coleman led 2-1 after the first period and extended the lead to 4-2 after two periods with a takedown with :47 left in the second period. Coleman started the third on bottom and escaped with 1:47 to go. He added a takedown with :51 left that locked up the victory.
For the third time this season, Bastida met No. 2 Stephen Buchanan of Wyoming in the consolation semifinals. Buchanan used a late takedown in the first period to take a 3-2 lead and held on for the 4-3 victory. In the fifth-place match, Bastida used a takedown with 1:26 left against No. 21 Gavin Hoffman of Ohio State to put Hoffman on his back. Bastida recorded the fall in 2:29 for his first career fall against an NCAA Division I opponent.
Confirmation hearings are getting underway this (Monday) morning for President Biden’s nominee to the U-S Supreme Court. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley will be leading the Republicans in their questioning of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. “We will be fair and thorough, as people would expect us to be, but we won’t get down in the gutter like Democrats did during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings,” Grassley says. “I’m sure you folks remember how bad that got.”
Grassley is referring to now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was nominated for the Supreme Court by President Trump in 2018. Shortly after being nominated, Kavanaugh was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in the 1980s when they were in high school, and two other women accused him of sexual misconduct, all allegations he denied. After fiery hearings, Kavanaugh was confirmed by the Senate on a 50-to-48 vote. As for Jackson, Grassley says she’ll be facing, in his words, tough questions. “Those tough questions will be about her record,” Grassley says, “tough questions about her judicial philosophy, tough questions about her views on the role of justices of the Supreme Court.”
Grassley says he’s also concern about whether Jackson believes “in what liberals call a living constitution,” a viewpoint from which the U-S Constitution could be changed based on the perspectives of the justices on the high court. “There’s already been some concerns raised about her preferences and views on criminal sentencing,” Grassley says. “Whether her supporters like it or not, that’s part of her record and it will be the subject of legitimate questions.”
Jackson and Grassley met one-one-one earlier this month, shortly after President Biden announced she was his choice to replace Justice Stephen Breyer, who’s stepping down at the end of June. While Grassley is the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Iowa’s other U-S senator and fellow Republican Joni Ernst is also on the panel.

(Adel, IA) – Sheriff’s officials in Dallas County reports one person was shot after they allegedly tried to break into a residence in rural Perry, Sunday night. Perry Police transferred a 911 call to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office at around 10:48-p.m., with regard to a shooting that had just occurred at 19408 123rd Place in rural Perry. Dallas County Deputies and Perry Police Officers responded to the scene and located one male subject with multiple gun shot wounds. The male was later identified as 22-year-old Hunter Keasey, from Dallas Center.
Authorities quickly determined that Keasey was (allegedly) actively trying to break into the residence when the home’s owner defended his family and fired multiple rounds at the intruder. Keasey was airlifted to Methodist Hospital for his injuries. He was treated for non-life threatening injuries and he was later released to the custody of law enforcement. The residents at 19408 123rd Place are cooperating with the investigation and made the initial 911 phone call.

Keasey is in the custody of the Dallas County Jail and has been arrested and charged with Burglary 3rd Degree, Criminal Mischief 4th Degree, and Simple Assault.
The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Perry Police Department, Dallas County EMS, and the Dallas County Attorney’s Office.
