DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say two more children have died as a result of the Dec. 21 fire at a Davenport mobile home park. Davenport interim fire marshal Jim Morris said in a news release Wednesday that 9-month-old Isabella Smead and 4-year-old Skylar Smead “succumbed to injuries sustained in the fire” at the Five Seasons park. They had been taken to an Iowa City hospital for treatment.

Authorities already had reported the fire deaths of the children’s mother, 23-year-old Kelsey Clain, and two other children, Jayden Smead, who was 5, and 2-year-old Carson Smead. Officials say there were no working smoke detectors in the home. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The drivers of two vehicles suffered minor/possible injuries during a collision at around 3-p.m. Wednesday, in Creston. Police report the accident happened at the intersection of Sheldon and Sumner Streets, when a 2002 Jeep Liberty driven by 60-year old Timothy Sean Norton, of Creston, hit a 2017 Fiat broadside, causing a total of $6,000 damage. The driver of the Fiat was identified as 36-year old Paige Nicole O’Neil, of Creston.  Both Norton and O’Neil were transported to the Greater Regional Medical Center by ambulance, to be checked-out.

During the investigation, Norton claimed his traffic light had just turned yellow when he entered the intersection. O’Neil claimed she had the green light. Neither driver saw the other until it was too late. Authorities say the accident occurred close to the transition time between the red and green lights, and it is unknown which driver was at fault. No citations were issued.

Red Oak Police, Wednesday night, arrested 53-year old David Allen Welch, of Red Oak, following a traffic stop for an improper tail lamp. A records check indicated Welch was driving under suspension. He was taken into custody at around 9:20-p.m. and brought to the Montgomery County Jail, where his bond was set at $300.

Police in Council Bluffs say a call about a burglary in progress just before 6-p.m., Wednesday, resulted in the arrest of a man from Avoca. Officers were dispatched to 122 Benton Street at around 5:51-p.m. Upon arrival, they made contact with the alleged offender, 57-year old Michael Crestoni, of Avoca.

Crestoni was transported to the detective bureau and interviewed along with the victims, 50-year old Tomika Crestoni, of Avoca, and 46-year old Julie Skalberg, of Council Bluffs, as well as a witness. During the interviews, it was determined Michael Crestoni forced entry to 122 Benton St.

Once inside the residence, Crestoni allegedly strangled Skalberg and physically assaulted Tomika Crestoni by kicking her in the head and body. Michael Crestoni is then alleged to have pulled a 9-inch knife, and threatened to kill both women.

Michael Crestoni was placed under arrest for Burglary 1st, two counts of Harassment in the 1st Degree, Going Armed with Intent, Domestic Abuse Aggravated and
Aggravated Assault with Dangerous Weapon.
