COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — The third of four people charged in the slaying of a man at a Council Bluffs homeless shelter has been imprisoned. Pottawattamie County District Court records say 20-year-old James McCauley was sentenced Monday to 10 years. He’d pleaded guilty to robbery after prosecutors dropped a murder charge. McCauley, 33-year-old Brandon Hollis , 47-year-old Vance Good and 21-year-old Cody Varnes were charged after the March 21, 2018, killing of 44-year-old Lee Johnson in a bathroom at Joshua House.
Good’s been convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Hollis was sentenced last week to 20 years on charges of robbery and willful injury. Varnes has pleaded not guilty to robbery, but a plea and sentencing hearing is set Jan. 24 for him.

The Cougars took control early, jumping out to an 18-1 first quarter lead, in posting a 74-34 win. Four players hit double figures for CAM as they used full-court defense to create a number of easy baskets and hit eight three pointers. Sammi Jahde had a game-high 18 points, Zoey Baylor scored 15, Macy Ticknor had 11 and Paige McAfee finished with ten. The Cougars improved to 12-1 with the win.
The Crusaders were led by freshman Brynn Bass with 15 points.
The boys game was close at the half, but the Cougars got a spark off the bench to overwhelm the Crusaders in a 52-28 win.
DeShawn Carr scored 18 off the bench, including four from the arc. Both teams were deliberate offensively early on and both had trouble scoring. It was 4-2 Crusaders late in the first quarter when Carr hit a pair of quick baskets to give CAM a 6-4 lead after one quarter. They would never trail again, as they held a 17-15 halftime edge.
A big 19-5 third quarter advantage put the Cougars in command. Joining Carr in double figures for the Cougars was Lane Spieker with 15. CAM improves to 5-7.
