IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The powerful and controversial leader of the board that governs Iowa’s public universities says he will not seek a second six-year term. Iowa Board of Regents President Bruce Rastetter said Friday that it was a tough decision, but he will not ask Gov. Terry Branstad for a new appointment. He thanked Branstad for giving him the opportunity to serve and said he is leaving satisfied with accomplishments that include a tuition freeze.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — The Woodbury County attorney has cleared of wrongdoing a Sioux City police officer who fatally shot a South Dakota man during a traffic stop. County Attorney Patrick Jennings said Friday that Officer Dylan Grimsley was justified in shooting 36-year-old Daniel Riedmann, of Dakota Dunes, South Dakota, on Dec. 7. Police say Grimsley shot Riedmann when Riedmann reached for something. Police say a loaded handgun was found in the vehicle.

DENVER (AP) — Authorities say a 27-year-old Iowa man was shot to death east of Denver. The Adams County coroner tells the Denver Post that Zackery Henderson, of Mason City, Iowa, was pronounced dead at Denver Health Medical Center. Deputies responding to reports of a disturbance say Henderson was found fatally wounded at about 3 a.m. Monday near the intersection of U.S. 36 and North Pecos Street.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court has made it significantly more difficult for police to continue to ask questions or even ask for a driver’s license during routine traffic stops if there is no reasonable suspicion a crime has been committed. In a ruling Friday, the majority of a divided 4-3 court overturned a 30-year-old Iowa legal precedent that said officers could at least ask drivers to produce their license during routine stops.

The Woodbury County Attorney has ruled Sioux City police were justified in shooting an armed suspect to death during a traffic stop last December. “The death of Daniel Riedmann is determined to be a justifiable homicide under the laws of the State of Iowa,” according to Woodbury County Attorney Patrick Jennings. He talked about the shooting of 36-year-old Daniel Riedmann (RIDE-man) during a news conference Friday afternoon.

“Riedmann was actively disobeying the officers’ commands to exit the vehicle and, in fact, he locked his door,” Jennings said. “When Riedmann began to make aggressive movements inside the vehicle, the officers did draw their weapons and continually instructed him to show his hands and exit the vehicle. Still, Riedmann refused to obey those officers’ commands.”

Sioux City Police had stopped a vehicle with a female driver and a passenger on the evening of December 7th. The passenger was Riedmann, who was from Dakota Dunes, South Dakota. The officers learned there was an arrest warrant for Riedmann, who was to be considered armed and dangerous. Officer Jordan Burns saw a handgun on the rear seat behind Riedmann. Jennings says Officer Dylan Grimsley shot Riedmann as the suspect began reaching for something.

“Had Riedmann not made aggressive movements away from offices which denied Grimsley the ability to see Riedmann’s hands, Grimsley would not have been faced with the split-second resulting in him using deadly force for officer safety,” Jennings says. The policeman fired four shots, striking Riedemann four times. Trevor Modlin of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says the handgun WAS loaded.

“The gun actually came out of the car when Riedmann was removed from the vehicle, so it fell out with him,” Modlin says. Modlin says an autopsy showed Riedemann had meth along with amphetamines in his system at the time of the shooting.
