BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) — A state audit has found a former Southeast Iowa sheriff’s deputy made more than $7,400 in improper purchases with county money including buying bullets for a personal gun, computers and drones. Iowa Auditor Rob Sand says former Des Moines County Chief Deputy Jeff White returned about $3,100 worth of items he bought but more $4,200 worth of items could not be located. Some of the items that remain unaccounted for include an Apple computer and ammunition. White retired from the sheriff’s office in December 2018 after some of the purchases were challenged.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa City man has been shot to death, and police are offering a $1,000 reward for information in the case. Police say in a news release that the shooting happened Monday morning, just before 10 a.m., when officers were called to the area for a report of a shooting. Arriving officers found a man, later identified as 21-year-old Kejuan Winters of Iowa City, inside a home suffering from gunshot wounds. Police say Winters later died from his injuries. No arrests had been reported by early Tuesday morning, but investigators do not believe the shooting was random. Police are asking anyone with information on the shooting to contact CrimeStoppers.
