(Radio Iowa) – A guard and a nurse were assaulted and killed by an inmate at the Anamosa State Prison yesterday (Tuesday). State officials plan to hold a news conference this (Wednesday) afternoon in Anamosa to discuss the case.

Last night, prison officials said due to the criminal investigation, they can provide only limited information about the incident. Here’s what they have announced: an inmate assaulted staff and other inmates in the Anamosa prison’s infirmary. It happened at about 10:15 Tuesday morning. The inmate was captured by other staff who responded, but the gravely injured nurse and correctional officer died of their wounds.

Governor Reynolds issued a written statement, offering her deepest condolences to their families, friends and co-workers. She promised the state will exhaust every available resource to deliver justice to those responsible. AFSCME Council 61 is the union that represents state prison staff. Danny Homan, the union’s president, says he intends to do everything he can to honor the memory of two staff members who committed their lives to keeping our communities safe. Homan says he’ll have more to say about safety inside the state’s prisons as more information about the incident becomes available.

Over the past few years, the union has been calling on lawmakers to boost staffing levels inside the state’s prison system. Iowa legislators haven’t yet released their plan for next year’s budget for the Iowa Department of Corrections.

DeWITT, Iowa (AP) — Police say human remains have been found in a pond in a rural area near DeWitt, about 20 miles north of Davenport where authorities have been investigating the disappearance of a 10-year-old girl since last summer. The Clinton County Sheriff’s Office, Davenport police and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation held a joint news conference Tuesday to confirm that a body had been found Monday by two people fishing. Officials have not identified the body and declined to speculate during the news conference on whether the remains could be those of the girl, Breasia Terrell. However, Davenport Police Chief Paul Sikorski acknowledged he had been contacted about the discovery of the remains because of his department’s investigation into the girl’s whereabouts.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — People could buy firearms and carry a concealed handgun without first obtaining a state permit in the state under a bill the Iowa Senate approved and sent to Gov. Kim Reynolds. The bill was approved Monday with only Republican support. Last week it cleared the House with the backing of only one Democrat. The bill would eliminate current state permit requirements and the accompanying background checks that ensure the person obtaining or carrying a gun isn’t disqualified from ownership due to past felonies or abuses. It now goes to Gov. Kim Reynolds.

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — A Waterloo woman faces theft charges after police say she stole nearly $30,000 in unemployment benefits from a relative. The Courier reports that 43-year-old April Ann South is charged with first-degree theft, identity theft and credit card fraud. Police say the theft occurred after the relative asked South for help in applying for unemployment last year. Police say the relative was told she didn’t qualify for unemployment, but was told in January by the Iowa Workforce Development that she had been receiving unemployment payments. Officials say the money was paid into a bank account set up in her name and spent using a pre-paid credit card. Police say surveillance videos show South using the card at different locations to spend more than $28,000 from the funds.

Officials with the Stuart Police Department, Tuesday, a juvenile was apprehended Monday, in connection with a string of incidents.  At around 1:50-a.m., officers were sent to the 300 block of Centennial Street in Stuart, for a report of a stolen vehicle. Just before 2-a.m., a Stuart Officer located the vehicle traveling in the 100 block of SE 7th Street. When the officer activated their emergency lights, the vehicle took off and a short chase ensued.

The vehicle traveled north through several blocks of residential streets at a high rate of speed. It traveled recklessly at times through yards and hit a street sign at SW 6th and S. Harrison, before turning into an alley and traveling for several more blocks. The driver jumped from the still moving vehicle in an alley behind the 500 block of S. Gaines Street. The vehicle continued on for several hundred more feet before coming to rest in the alley. The suspect was not located, despite several agencies including a K9 from the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office’ best efforts.

Later that same morning, authorities received multiple reports of vehicle bring broken into overnight, and an additional vehicle being stolen from the 400 block of S. Division Street. The vehicle burglaries took place in various areas around Stuart, with several items stolen. At around 9:45-a.m., Monday, officers located the second, stolen vehicle. It was parked in the 200 block of SE 7th Street.

At around 1:30-p.m. Monday, Stuart Police were able to determine a juvenile male was a person of interest in the vehicle thefts. About an hour later, while collecting evidence in the 200 block of SE 7th Street, Stuart Police saw the juvenile male fleeing the area through a corn field. The male was taken into custody by Stuart Police, and found to be in possession of suspected alcohol, marijuana, nicotine products and drug paraphernalia.

A hotel room at 203 SE 7th Street, where the juvenile had reportedly been staying, was later searched, with evidence discovered that linked the juvenile to several vehicle burglaries. The boy was interviewed with his parents present, and admitted to some involvement in the vehicle burglaries and thefts. Charges against the boy are pending.

Authorities note both stolen vehicles had been unlocked, and had the keys inside. Each of the burglarized vehicles were also unlocked. Police says “This is a great reminder, why vehicles should be locked, and valuables should be removed. Most vehicle thefts and burglaries are crimes of opportunity.”  They said also, the incidents remain under investigation, and additional charges may be filed.
