INDIANOLA, Iowa (AP) — The father of a newborn who died in June now faces charges in the baby’s death, along with the infant’s mother. Television station WOI reports that 29-year-old Gregory Burton Rodee, of Indianola, has been charged with child endangerment resulting in death. The baby’s mother, 31-year-old Amber Nicole Phillips, faces the same charge. Authorities say the couple called 911 late on the night of June 14 to report that their baby — born just 20 minutes earlier at home — was not breathing.
Prosecutors say the couple refused medical treatment, but called 911 again about nine hours later when they woke and found the baby not breathing. An autopsy showed the child tested positive for methadone and buprenorphine.

Sheriff Johnson says there were five arrests in Audubon County last month:
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Republican groups are asking the Iowa Supreme Court to stay a judge’s ruling that blocked enforcement of a state order that’s been used to invalidate tens of thousands of absentee ballot requests. The Republican National Committee, President Trump’s reelection campaign and other GOP groups said in a court filing that Iowa’s election administration could be thrown into “chaos” if the ruling stands.
At issue is a Monday ruling by Judge Robert Hanson blocking Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate from enforcing a directive that required counties to mail blank absentee ballot applications to voters instead of ones pre-filled with their personal information. Hanson found the directive would harm the public’s interest in making absentee voting as easy as possible.
PALO, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in eastern Iowa say two people have died in a crash involving three vehicles, including a semitrailer. The Linn County Sheriff’s Office says in a news release that the crash happened around 2:30 p.m. Monday at a rural intersection several miles south of Palo. Deputies who first arrived on the scene found that the semi, a car and a pickup truck had collided, and the semi was engulfed in flames.
Investigators say the driver of the semi was pulled from the burning wreckage by passing motorists and was flown to a nearby hospital. The drivers of the car and pickup were declared dead at the scene. Authorities had not released their names by late Tuesday morning.
