BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) — Two of the three men accused of attacking two officers at the Des Moines County Jail have pleaded guilty. The two officers were attacked Dec. 10. One was treated and released on the same day. The other officer left a hospital two days later. Court records say 25-year-old Earl Booth-Harris and 27-year-old Bobby Morris entered the pleas Monday in Des Moines County District Court to charges of felony willful injury and misdemeanor assault on a correctional officer. Prosecutors dropped charges of attempted murder in exchange for the pleas. The two are scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday.

Also Tuesday, the third man charged is expected to plead guilty to the same charges. Twenty-four-year-old Jorge Sanders-Galvez already has been sentenced to life in prison for killing a gender-fluid Burlington teenager, Kedarie Johnson.

Water trails envisioned with Des Moines rivers project

News

May 23rd, 2018 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Backers of a $117 million plan to bring recreation to downtown Des Moines say the rivers project would create a network of 80 water trails across central Iowa. Rick Tollakson is president and CEO of Hubbell Realty Co. and one of the project’s biggest supporters. He told The Des Moines Register that the project centerpiece would be a series of whitewater features that would replace three dangerous low-head dams along the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers.

He says the Des Moines business community is committed to underpin fundraising because recreational opportunities are the best way to attract and retain young workers. Project backers have discussed it with Iowa’s congressional members, hoping to secure a third of the cost through state and federal grants.
