PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a Florida man who made death threats against Iowa’s governor and other state officials has been arrested. The Tampa Bay Times Pasco County deputies arrested 59-year-old Richard Gillow on Monday and charged him with making written threats to kill.

Authorities say the Port Richey man posted on Facebook and sent emails saying he was going to kill Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, Attorney General Tom Miller, Guardian Ad Litem Kim Ayotte and an employee of the state’s Department of Human Services.

An investigator in Iowa tipped off Florida authorities to the threat. Officials say Gillow believed the Iowa officials were involved in the removal of his grandchildren from his daughter’s custody. Gillow was freed on $10,000 bail.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court has extended an order blocking part of a new law requiring women to wait 72 hours before they can get an abortion. The high court said in a ruling filed Tuesday that a temporary injunction approved Friday will remain in effect until a district court takes further action regarding a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa and Planned Parenthood of the Heartland.

ACLU and Planned Parenthood want to permanently halt the requirement, which is part of a new law that also bans most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The groups argue the waiting period, among the longest in the country, could cause undue harm to women by requiring multiple appointments.

Attorneys for the state have challenged that argument.
