Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 2:40 a.m. CDT

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines says its two-humped camel, Nikolai, has died. The Des Moines Register reports that the camel died suddenly Saturday. A zoo news release says zoo veterinarians and keepers began treating the 7-year-old Bactrain camel Saturday morning when he began showing signs of illness. Despite their efforts, the camel died that afternoon.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A man convicted of vehicular homicide in a crash that killed his girlfriend _ the mother of four _ has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. The Des Moines Register says Troy Mure Jr. was sentenced Wednesday to the maximum. Mure was convicted in April for the death of 22-year-old Scalicity Boyd. Police say a vehicle driven by Mure in November crashed into a utility pole, ejecting and killing Boyd, who was a passenger.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa casino supervisor, dealer and patron are charged with conspiring to cheat at roulette and split thousands of dollars in illicit winnings. A criminal complaint alleges the trio carried out the scheme on several occasions in February and March at the Horseshoe Casino in Council Bluffs. In all, they allegedly split between $20,000 and $30,000 in earnings.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A federal appeals court has upheld jail sentences for two egg industry executives whose Iowa company caused a nationwide salmonella outbreak in 2010. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 on Wednesday that three-month jail terms issued last year to Austin “Jack” DeCoster and his son, Peter, are appropriate because they are “liable for negligently failing to prevent” the outbreak.
