Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press

STORM LAKE, Iowa (AP) — Two Wisconsin men are facing homicide charges after police and FBI officers arrested them in Storm Lake. Twenty-three-year-old Sergio Ortiz-Raygoza and 22-year-old Eric Salazar-Mota, both of Beloit, Wisconsin, were arrested Sunday on homicide warrants in connection to the January shooting death of a 5-year-old in Beloit. Police say the boy was shot by people targeting his father, who was driving a vehicle.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An animal welfare group has filed a complaint with U.S. Department of Agriculture about an escaped research goat that remains on the loose. Animal welfare group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to the University of Iowa and filed a complaint with the USDA regarding an escaped research goat that has been on the loose since Friday. PETA asked that the goat be transferred to a sanctuary if it is safely captured, and the complaint claimed the goat escaped due to violations of the Animal Welfare Act.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Four years after the Iowa Republican Party was criticized for mishandling an extremely close caucus, Democratic Party leaders are facing scrutiny over how they ran the state’s signature event. The tight contest between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on Monday has highlighted the complicated process Democrats use to determine the winner and the bumpy road they take to get there. Clinton was named the winner Tuesday after winning by less than four “state delegate equivalents” out of 1,405, the measurement the party uses to calculate caucus-goers’ preferences.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Several inches of snow have already fallen in the Sioux City area and the storm is expected to continue the rest of the day. Officials have closed a section of Interstate 29 between Sioux City and Tea, South Dakota, because of low visibility.

The Iowa DOT reports a jackknifed semi has blocked Interstate 80 westbound near Shelby, early this morning. The accident happened between Exit 34 (County Road M-16) and Exit 29 (County Road L-66).

No other details are currently available. Roads early this morning are completely  covered with snow. In addition, there are whiteout conditions. Travel is not advised on Highway 59, between Harlan and Denison, and on Highway 141 from Highway 59 east to Manning.

Cass County Auditor Dale Sunderman reports voters in the CAM Community School District, Tuesday, approved  the extending of the current Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (or, PPEL), along with an increase in the levy rate of 67-cents per thousand dollars property valuation, to $1.34 per thousand. Public Measure A was approved by a vote of 131 “yes” to 94 “no” votes, or 58.222% of the vote.

District officials say they plan to use the funds to improve and maintain their current facilities, purchase school buses and purchase technology for students and staff. The levy cannot be used for staff salaries or supplies – those expenditures must come from a school district’s General Fund.

The results of the vote will be canvassed by the Cass County Board of Supervisors, Thursday, beginning at 1-p.m.

Officials with the Iowa DNR said Tuesday afternoon, an electrical short in a well house serving the city of Elliott in Montgomery County prevented the well from coming online, and residents of town are being advised to drink bottled water only. Although the well is back online, it will take several hours before the tower refills and pressure is restored.

Due to high nitrate levels, the bottled water advisory has been issued. Bacteria samples have been collected today (Tuesday), and another set will be collected tomorrow (Wednesday). Until those samples are cleared, the city is furnishing bottled water to citizens, available at the town hall.

Test results may be available late Thursday at the earliest, or more likely Friday. Citizens should use bottled water until then. Infants who drink water containing nitrates in excess of the standards could become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blue baby syndrome.

All residents should use only bottled water. Do not boil tap water, as boiling increases nitrate concentrations.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were incurred during a single vehicle accident on Tuesday.  At approximately 1:38pm a 1999 Silver Dodge Dakota pickup owned and operated by Austin M. Petersen of Red Oak was traveling westbound on 190th.  Petersen lost traction on the snow/slush covered road and crossed the center-line entering the south ditch of 190th Street near the intersection with J Avenue.  The left rear of the truck struck a utility pole causing the left rear axle to shear off and damage the box side of the truck.  The truck sustained an estimated $2,500 damage and there appeared to be no damage to the utility pole.  No citations were issued and the investigation is complete.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – A major snowstorm is creating dangerous travel conditions as it moves across the Plains. Officials closed a section of Interstate 29 between Sioux City, Iowa, and Tea, South Dakota, because the snow and wind combined to limit visibility. Several inches of snow had already fallen in the Sioux City area Tuesday morning, and the snow is expected to continue throughout the day.

At the Pilot Travel Center truck stop along I-29 in Sioux City, there wasn’t much traffic Tuesday morning because conditions are so bad. Manager Dean Habhab says the store is staying busy taking care of the truck drivers who pulled off the highway ahead of the storm and remain parked in the parking lot. Habhab says he couldn’t see more than half a mile outside around mid-morning Tuesday.

LEON, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say two Missouri men have died after falling through thin ice on Little River Lake in southern Iowa. The Decatur County Sheriff’s Office says rescue crews were called to the lake just north of Leon when someone reported seeing a person fall through the ice around 2 p.m. Sunday.

Officials who initially arrived said the ice was so thin that rescuers could not stand or crawl on it. The Midwest Regional Dive Team was called, and members were able to pull 63-year-old David Adair, of Knob Noster, Missouri, from the lake. Adair was flown to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines. Hospital spokesman Gregg Lagan says Adair died at the hospital later Sunday.

Crews also pulled the body of 33-year-old Joe Adair, also of Knob Noster, from the lake.
