The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says one person was arrested at around 5-a.m. today (Friday), after Deputies were called to the area of 110th Street and F Avenue, for a report of a truck and camper parked in the middle of the traveled portion of the road. During their investigation, Deputies from Montgomery and Mills Counties located the owner of the vehicle, who became combative with Deputies. As a result, 41-year old Zachary M. Setterburg, of Shenandoah, was arrested on two counts of Interference with Official Acts, and two counts of Assault on a Peace Officer.

Setterburg was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $2,000 cash bond.

INDEPENDENCE, Iowa (AP) — A state workers union is criticizing what it says is the state’s lack of response to attacks on at least four employees at the state psychiatric care facility in eastern Iowa. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees says assaults over the past two weeks at the Independence Mental Health Institute include a nurse punched in the nose and three residential treatment workers who suffered head or neck injuries.

Union President Danny Homan said in a Wednesday news release that “a safety crisis taking place for the employees, and the state of Iowa is showing no urgency to address it.”
Iowa Human Services Department Matt Highland says workplace injuries at the institute are down from last year and says treatment provided to aggressive patients is often reviewed to help reduce violent incidents.

It’s the same facility from which nurse Tina Suckow was fired days after her federally entitled medical leave expired. Her request for time off without pay was denied. A patient beat Suckow with his fists last October.
