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.
The conspiracy involved moving and adding additional chips to winning numbers, accepting late bets and placing additional wagers for guests. But it unraveled after a player noticed the cheating and complained to casino management, which alerted the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
The DCI said that roulette supervisor Jonathan Rumery, dealer Jonathan Waugh and player Cody Schroeder have been arrested. All three face felony charges.
LAKE VIEW – A personal water craft exploded Tuesday on Black Hawk Lake in Sac County, sending two people to the hospital. 40-year old Chris Forman, and his 41-year old wife Angie, of Omaha, Neb., were operating the personal water craft when it flipped over. After finally being able to get the vessel upright, gasoline had apparently leaked into the engine compartment causing it to explode while being started shortly after 11 a.m. on Tuesday.
Both of the passengers were thrown into the water by the blast, but were wearing
life jackets. They were taken to Loring Hospital in Sac City where they were kept
overnight.
The Lake View Fire Department, Lake View Police Department and the Sac County
Sheriff’s Department assisted at the scene.

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. In a long-awaited decision, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday backed the three-month jail sentences issued last year to Austin “Jack” DeCoster and son Peter DeCoster.
U.S. District Judge Mark Bennett sentenced them last year, citing a “litany of shameful conduct” that happened at their large egg-production company. But Bennett allowed them to their freedom they appealed the sentences, which the DeCosters argued were unconstitutional and unreasonable. Business groups took up their cause.
In a 2-1 decision, an appeals panel ruled that the DeCosters “are liable for negligently failing to prevent the salmonella outbreak” and that jail time is appropriate.
