A man who was fleeing from police in eastern Iowa late Friday night has died in a crash that also killed another motorist. The Iowa State Patrol reports 31-year old Troy C. Marvin, of Cedar Rapids, was driving a 2007 Chevy Silverado pickup being pursued by Tama Police, when the pickup t-boned the driver’s side door of a 2007 Chevy Impala at the intersection of 4th and Beautiful Street, in Tama.
After the impact, both vehicles left the road and struck a utility pole before rolling several times. The accident happened just before midnight. Neither Marvin nor the driver of the Impala, 25-year old Ian L. Halverson, of Tama, were wearing their seat belts. Both men died at the scene.
The crash remains under investigation.
FRISCO, Texas (AP) – Sam Houston State quarterback Jeremiah Briscoe won the Walter Payton Award on Friday night as the most outstanding player in FCS and Northern Iowa defensive end Karter Schult received the Buck Buchanan Award as top defensive player.
Briscoe, a junior who transferred from UAB after it shut down its football program, passed for 4,602 yards and 57 touchdowns for the Bearkats (12-1). He beat out Eastern Washington teammates Gage Gubrud, a quarterback, and Cooper Kupp, a receiver. Kupp was trying to become a two-time winner of the Payton award after taking it last season.
Schult led FCS with 17 sacks. The other finalists were linebacker Dylan Cole of Missouri State and defensive P.J. Hall of Sam Houston State.

Upon further investigation and the deployment of the Shenandoah PD’s new K9, “Argo,” officers arrested 20-year old Harley Collier, of Omaha, for Possession of a Controlled Substance and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
Collier was transported to Page County Jail, where her bond was set at $1,000.
