Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:55 a.m. CDT

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in eastern Iowa say a Davenport police officer has been injured in a shooting, and a suspect has been arrested. The Quad-City Times reports that the shooting happened shortly after 4 p.m. Thursday in the Five Points area of the city. Scott County Sheriff Tim Lane confirmed that an officer had been shot and another man arrested, but did not give details of what led to the shooting. Neither the name of the officer nor the suspect was released.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A former western Iowa high school teacher has been arrested and charged on suspicion of having sex with one of his students. Council Bluffs police say 56-year-old Mark Mendell. of Crescent, was arrested Thursday at his home on two charges of sexual exploitation by a school employee. Police say an investigation that began last month revealed a sexual relationship between Mendell while he was Abraham Lincoln High School’s band teacher and a 17-year-old student.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign travel itinerary leaves little doubt about his strategy for early voting states. Biden’s one-two Iowa-South Carolina punch next week underscores the Democrat’s need to finish near the top in the leadoff Iowa caucuses to build momentum for South Carolina, home to the first Southern primary. He has a combination of strengths and enduring relationships in South Carolina that could seal him as the front-runner heading into later contests.

ANKENY, Iowa (AP) — MidAmerican Energy proudly notes its status as a national leader in wind power, but the Des Moines-based company is pushing for rules that could put a screeching halt to solar power in Iowa. Like private utilities in other states, MidAmerican said the fees it’s backing are a matter of fairness to avoid charging other customers for costs incurred by solar generators when they resell excess power. Those in the solar industry say the utility actually wants to control an emerging energy source.
