PANORA, Iowa (AP) — Authorities have identified a man shot and killed over the weekend by a Panora police officer in central Iowa. The Iowa Department of Public Safety says in a news release Tuesday that 26-year-old Joshua Reed, of New Virginia, Iowa, was the man killed Sunday night. Officers called to a Panora apartment complex say they found Reed in a hallway and ordered him to drop a knife. After he refused to do so, police say Officer Rock Armstrong shot him.

CLIVE, Iowa (AP) — Officials in central Iowa say flooding from heavy rains this past weekend damaged the Clive Library and the Clive Aquatic Center. The Polk County Emergency Management Agency said in a news release Tuesday that the library and aquatic center had closed because of damage from storm water. Both have since reopened. A special flood-debris pickup has also been scheduled for Clive, a suburb of Des Moines, on Friday for residents and businesses in some areas.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has ordered flags on state grounds to be flown at half-staff to honor five employees of a Virginia newspaper shot to death last week. The Iowa order asks that U.S. and state flags be flown at half-staff Tuesday until sunset. Iowa will join Annapolis, Maryland, and other states lowering U.S. flags in honor of those killed at the Capital-Gazette. President Donald Trump has also ordered U.S. flags on federal property to be flown at half-staff.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Department of Public Safety has fired a state trooper who was on paid leave for 10 months. The department told The Associated Press that trooper Wade Karp was terminated Tuesday for violating rules governing employee conduct. The move comes one week after AP reported that Karp had been kept on paid leave since Sept. 5, 2017 and collected about $50,000 in salary since then.

The Red Oak Police Department reports the arrest Tuesday of 20-year-old Dakota Giroux of Red Oak for Failure to Appear. Giroux was arrested at 4:08pm at 1004 East Reed Street in Red Oak. The original charge was a Red Oak charge of Breach of Peace. Her bond was set at $1,000 cash only and she is currently being held at the Montgomery County Jail until being seen by the District Court Judge.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s state police agency fired a trooper on Tuesday for alleged misconduct, days after acknowledging the employee had quietly been on paid leave for 10 months. The Iowa Department of Public Safety said trooper Wade Karp was terminated for violating department rules, including those that govern employee conduct. The department refused to elaborate further on the details of Karp’s alleged misconduct, and didn’t explain what took so long to investigate and render a decision on Karp’s discipline.

The Associated Press first reported last week that Karp, a 10-year veteran of the Iowa State Patrol, had been kept on paid administrative leave since Sept. 5, 2017. He has collected roughly $50,000 in salary since then. An official with the State Police Officers Council, a union which represented Karp during the investigation, didn’t immediately return a phone message.

Karp was based at the patrol’s Post 16 in Des Moines, which helps patrol the Capitol and other state buildings. The AP also reported last week that Karp was responsible for a service weapon that discharged inside the Post 16 office in December 2016. It’s unclear if that incident was accidental or linked to his termination.

In a statement released by department lawyer Barbara Edmondson, the agency said Tuesday that all other information related to Karp’s leave and termination “is confidential and protected from disclosure” under the Iowa open records law. The statement cited a law that exempts personal information in “confidential personnel records” from disclosure.

The AP is protesting that position, noting that an Iowa law that took effect last year requires state and local government agencies to release the “documented reasons and rationale” for terminating or demoting public employees. Agencies often release copies of termination letters to satisfy that requirement, but it isn’t settled how much information has to be released.

The Mills County K9 Unit conducted a traffic stop at around 8:15-p.m. Monday in Glenwood, and ended up arrested the driver on drug and other charges. 28-year old Thomas Michael Cash, of Glenwood, faces charges that include Possession of a Controlled Substance with the Intent to Deliver (91 grams of marijuana), Failure to Affix a drug tax stamp, and Driving While Barred. Cash was also cited for operating a non-registered vehicle. His bond was set at $12,000.

Authorities said also, 40-year old Andy Charles Andrews, of Pacific Junction, was arrested Monday afternoon at the Mills County Sheriff’s Office, on a warrant for Failure to Appear. His bond was set at $2,000. And, 27-year old Travis Wesley Christina, of Council Bluffs, was arrested Monday evening in Pottawattamie County, on a warrant for Failure to Appear. His bond was set at $10,000.

Reed, of New Virginia, Iowa.  The autopsy of Reed was conducted by the Office of the State Medical Examiner in Ankeny.  The cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds and the manner of death was ruled homicide.
