Sheriff’s officials in Montgomery County are investigating two hit-and-run incidents that took place Sunday morning, in Villisca. Authorities say a blue 2008 Nissan Versa owned by a Des Moines man, and a silver 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser owned by a man from Shenandoah, were struck sometime between midnight and 3-a.m. Sunday, while they were parked in the 100 block of East 6th Street, in Villisca.

The suspect vehicle is described as being white in color. No other information is known. If you have any information as to the identity of the vehicle that may have struck the parked vehicles, or the driver of the vehicle, please contact the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office at 712-623-5107.

Police in Red Oak arrested a man on a 5th Degree Theft charge, Sunday night. 47-year old Robby Dale Lukehart, of Red Oak, was taken into custody at around 8-p.m. in the 300 block of 1st Avenue. Lukehart was brought to the Montgomery County Jail and held on $300 bond.

The group “Progress Iowa” held its second annual “Corn Feed” fundraiser in Des Moines Sunday afternoon and Iowa Democrats at the top of the 2016 General Election ticket spoke to the crowd of about two-hundred. Dave Loebsack of Iowa City — the only Democrat in the state’s congressional election — says there’s a lot on the line this year. “What happens at the top of the ticket has some effect on the rest of us down ballot, so it is absolutely imperative that we get Hillary Clinton elected president of the United States. I know you’re all going to help us do that,” Loebsack said, to applause.

Monica Vernon, Kim Weaver and Jim Mowrer — the three other Democratic congressional candidates in Iowa — also spoke. Patty Judge, the Democrat who is challenging Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, says Grassley is part of “an orchestrated” G-O-P plan to “try to give Barack Obama a black eye every day.” “Everybody said to me when I got into this: ‘Have you absolutely lost your mind?…Don’t you know that can’t beat Chuck Grassley? Chuck Grassley wins elections by 30 or 40 points,” Judge said.

People in the crowd started to clap and one woman yelled “Fired up and ready to go,” Judge continued: “I’m telling you, we are in single digits right now here in August. We can do this.” Former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley was the event’s keynote speaker. O’Malley began with a barb aimed at Terry Branstad, Iowa’s Republican governor, but he spent most of time talking about the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

“It’s time to put this racist bully in his place and put a tough woman in her place: the White House,” O’Malley said at the end of his remarks to the crowd. Iowa is among the few truly “toss up” states in the General Election, with recent polls showing the presidential race close here. “Early voting” in Iowa starts in a month.
