Officials say he was arrested in the 1800 block of East Summit Street, following an incident whereby Sell and the alleged victim, John William Kalbas, got into a verbal argument that resulted in Sell allegedly pulling a small pocket-type knife, and cutting Kalbas across his forearm, leaving a large laceration.

SLOAN, Iowa (AP) – A Woodbury County deputy says there was nothing heroic about helping a woman escape from flames at an apartment building in Sloan. On Tuesday Deputy Todd Peterson broke the fall of a woman who was hanging upside down from the second-floor window of the burning apartment. She and another woman who’d jumped to safety were taken to a Sioux City hospital.

The Sioux City Journal reports that at a news conference Wednesday, Peterson said he was just reacting to the situation he was confronting. He said, “I just did my job.” Major Todd Wieck, of the Woodbury County Sheriff’s Office, watched video of the incident from Peterson’s body camera and praised his quick thinking, saying “He did a fantastic job.”

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A newspaper reports that policies governing Iowa police and sheriff’s departments’ use of body cameras don’t meet nationally recommended standards. The Des Moines Register lists several of the standards, including public involvement and awareness. The newspaper says its review shows that, in general, the public hasn’t been involved in drafting the policies and officers aren’t telling people they’ve being recorded.

Just two of the eight agencies that provided policies to the newspaper post the documents on their websites. Des Moines and Cedar Rapids police chiefs said policies will be shared with community groups after the final drafts are completed. Iowa agency leaders interviewed by the Register said they don’t require officers to inform people they’re being recorded because Iowa law allows recordings in public without second-party consent.
