COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — The last of four men charged in the killing of a man at a Council Bluffs homeless shelter has been sentenced. The Daily Nonpareil reports that 21-year-old Cody Varnes pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery and was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison. His sentencing followed the same sentenced handed down Jan. 15 to 20-year-old James McCauley, also for robbery.

Hollis was sentenced Jan. 10 to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to robbery and willful injury. Good was sentenced Jan. 8 to life in prison after being convicted of first-degree murder.

PRIMGHAR, Iowa (AP) — Constituents applauded Republican Rep. Steve King at the first of 39 town hall meetings the Iowa congressman plans to hold following his nearly unanimous rebuke by the U.S. House over racist comments he made during a newspaper interview earlier this month. King took questions from about 75 people who attended the Saturday morning meeting in the tiny northwestern Iowa city of Primghar. He did not take questions from reporters.

It was King’s first public event since the New York Times published a story that quoted him saying, “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” The comments were denounced as racist and led the House to vote 424-1 to rebuke King. Republican leaders also stripped him of his committee assignments.

King claimed his comments were taken out of context, saying in a House floor speech that he doesn’t believe in white supremacy, so “I do not know how it could possibly come out of my mouth.”

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa law license of a former Marshalltown prosecutor who stole a co-worker’s underwear has been suspended. The Iowa Supreme Court ordered the license of Benjamin Stansberry suspended indefinitely, for at least one year. Stansberry pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft and trespassing charges in the case in September 2016 following his arrest a month earlier. He paid more than $200 in fines and court costs and resigned from his job in the Marshall County Attorney’s Office. He also resigned from his position as a member of the Marshalltown Community School District board.

Stansberry’s arrest came after a co-worker reported finding a pair of her underwear in her driveway just after Stansberry had been alone in the woman’s house. Authorities determined he entered her bedroom without permission to take them.
