The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says a Red Oak man was injured Sunday morning while hunting deer west of Indianola. 58-year old Miles Sagen was hit in the shoulder/upper chest area by a deer slug fired at a running deer by some else in his nine-member hunting party at approximately 8:30 a.m. Sunday.
The slug traveled approximately 144 yards before striking Sagen, according to Allen Crouse, recreational safety officer for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Sagen was transported by ambulance to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines.
During the preliminary investigation of the incident, Crouse said it was impossible to see someone more than 100 yards away because of the dense fog, even if the person was wearing blaze orange. He strongly urges hunters to “Reconsider hunting” in conditions where dense fog is present, because “It just isn’t safe.”
The incident is still under investigation by the DNR.
Page County Sheriff Lyle Palmer, Sunday, said deputies from his county arrested a Shenandoah man Saturday afternoon. 43-year old Thomas Duane Ayres was arrested for allegedly being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm, a Class-D felony offense. Sheriff’s Deputies, with the assistance of officers with the Iowa Dept. of Natural Resources, took Ayres into custody a little before 4:30-p.m. Saturday.
Ayres was transported to the Page County Sheriff’s Office where he later posted bond and was released. A court date has not yet been set.
CORRECTIONVILLE, Iowa (AP) – Two of the three people on board a small plane that crashed in northwest Iowa have been identified. Authorities say Gaylen Knaack, of Correctionville, was flying the plane when it crashed into a farm field 2 1/2 miles south of Correctionville around 8 p.m. Knaack’s two passengers died in the crash, and Knaack sustained serious burns.
Former Anthon Fire Chief Mike Berning says longtime firefighter Lee Schroeder was one of the passengers killed in the crash. Schroeder was scheduled to portray Santa Claus at a town celebration next weekend. Authorities have not yet identified the other passenger.
The 70-year-old Knaack was taken to a Sioux City hospital and later transferred to a burn center in Lincoln. Saint Elizabeth spokeswoman Betty Thompson says Knaack was in critical condition Sunday.
Sheriff’s officials in Adams County say a Council Bluffs man was arrested Saturday evening on an assault charge. According to the Sheriff’s Department, 22-year old Gary Blakeman was arrested following an investigation into a report someone became combative and allegedly assaulted an individual. The victim suffered minor injuries during the incident. Blakeman was subsequently arrested at around 6:15-p.m. and brought to the Adams County Jail, where he was being held on a charge of Simple Assault. His bond was set at $300.
Two people are dead following the crash of a small plane Saturday night in northwest Iowa’s Woodbury County. According to the Sioux City Journal, the crash happened in a location south of Correctionville, on or near Highway 31, at around 8-p.m. Those who died were said to have been passengers on the plane. The pilot was injured and driven to a Sioux City Hospital after heavy fog in the area forced a medical evacuation helicopter to be grounded.
The National Weather Service began issuing dense fog advisories in northwest Iowa as early as 7:40 p.m. Saturday, but it’s not clear if weather played a role in the crash. No other details are currently available.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Cedar County health officials are stepping up flu surveillance since a child there was diagnosed with a flu virus normally found in pigs. The H3N2v influenza A strain was verified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
One person was sent to the hospital following a single-vehicle accident Saturday evening south of Elk Horn, in Shelby County. The Iowa State Patrol says 56-year old Janet Snyder, of Elk Horn, was transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic by Elk Horn Rescue, following the accident which happened at around 5:15-p.m on Highway 173, just north of Interstate 80. The Patrol says according to witnesses, Snyder’s 2002 Ford Explorer left the road slowly just past a residence at 146 State Highway 173 and continued well into a corn field before coming to rest. Officials say it appears the accident occurred when Snyder suffered from some sort of medical condition.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Cedar County health officials are stepping up flu surveillance since a child there was diagnosed with a flu virus normally found in pigs. Cedar Rapids television station KCRG-TV reports that the H3N2v influenza A strain was verified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. State epidemiologist Dr. Patricia Quinlisk says the child, who has since recovered, had not been in contact with swine, one of the modes of transmission.
Quinlisk says health professionals in the Cedar County area are being asked to take more specimens for testing from people who might have the flu. Quinlisk says three Iowa children had the same strain in November 2011. All recovered.
