(Radio Iowa) – Dickinson County’s sheriff says a jail inmate charged with an attempted murder in early May has been charged with another felony for trying to escape from the county jail.
Dickinson County Sheriff Greg Balloun says 19-year-old Caleb Crosby was being escorted to different area in the jail for a medical consultation when he pushed through an unlocked door at the courthouse and ran. Spirit Lake Police helped capture Crosby in about a minute.
Crosby was arrested in Osceola County on May 5th after allegedly shooting another man in Montgomery and stealing two different vehicles trying to elude authorities.
The sheriff says the door Crosby used to escape should have been locked.
(Radio Iowa) – With kids out of school and warm weather in the forecast, Iowa’s county and state parks are filling up with campers, which means hospital emergency rooms will also be filling up with folks who’ve had mishaps while camping.
Dr. Benjamin Orozco, an emergency medical physician with the Gundersen Health System, says parents need to be especially vigilant to keep kids from playing near the campfire.
“We will see a number of burns this summer, often on the hands, touching the hot fire ring, while the fire is hot but also right after,” Orozco says. “Something you always want to be especially mindful of is little children around a campfire. That happens really quickly and it can be a real heartbreaker when it does take place.”
While it’s great to get outdoors and enjoy nature, too much sun can lead to a severe burn. He says it’s important to use sunscreen, especially for kids.
“The number of sunburns that you get early in life, really, that impacts your cancer risk later in life,” Orozco says. “If you talk to someone who starts having problems with recurrent skin cancers, they’ll tell you they wish they would have covered up with sunscreen while they were younger and out in the open.”
Ticks and mosquitoes can turn an otherwise pleasant weekend outdoors into a nightmare, and Orozco says to stick with the tried-and-true repellent brands to keep the pests away.
“A common misconception is that people will want to use a natural or an herbal insect repellent,” Orozco says. “The AAP and virtually every reputable medical society that cares about kids and people recommend using a ‘real’ bug repellent, something with a high concentration of DEET.”
Wherever you may be camping or hiking, Orozco says to stay weather aware, because being oblivious to the forecast and potential temperature extremes could land you in the ER.
“If the heat index is high, you’ve got to stay hydrated. Think about your sunscreen, if it’s going to be cold, wet and rainy, or if you’re going to be out all day and there’s a possibility that storm can roll in, that’s where we see injuries from exposure and heat exhaustion. Or in the early spring and in the fall, where you can get into that hypothermia, unexpected, where somebody’s out farther than they should be and the weather changes abruptly.”
Gundersen Health System has clinics in Calmar, Decorah, Fayette, Lansing, Postville and Waukon, and a hospital in West Union.
(Greenfield, Iowa) – Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports there were four arrests over the past week:
On May 28th, 57-year-old Ronald Joseph Schaecher, of Greenfield, was arrested at around 12:17-a.m. by Greenfield Police, for Domestic Abuse Assault w/injury or mental illness – 1st offense. The report states he allegedly struck his female domestic partner in the face with a fist. Officers noted the woman had a red mark near the left eye. Schaecher was released later that afternoon, on a $1,000 cash or surety bond, with 10% acceptable.
At around 12:45-a.m. on May 30th, Police in Adair arrested 39-year-old Luke Daniel Hommes, of Adair, for Assault Causing Bodily Injury or Mental Illness, after allegedly struck a man in his face with a fist. The victim was spitting blood and advised police his right wisdom tooth had been knocked loose. Hommes was taken into custody and released later that day on a $1,000 cash or surety bond.
Police in Stuart arrested 41-year-old Norma Dawn Purcell, of Cumberland, at around 2:22-a.m. on June 1st, following a traffic stop. A Guthrie County Sheriff’s Department K9 unit was requested. When the K9 conducted an open-air sniff around the vehicle, it alerted to a positive odor of narcotics coming from the vehicle Purcell was driving, but a Probable Cause search failed to turn-up any evidence of drugs. On her person, the Stuart Police Officer found she was in possession of a pipe and a burned crystalline residue inside the bowl. She also had in her pocket a small baggie of a substance believe to be methamphetamine.
Purcell was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance/Methamphetamine-1st offense, Possession of drug paraphernalia, and Driving While Revoked. She was later released on her Own Recognizance.
And, 22-year-old Emily Elizabeth Lewin, of Scribner, NE, was arrested by the Iowa State Patrol on Interstate 80 near Casey, on charges that include OWI/1st offense and Assault on persons in certain occupations (law enforcement) without injury. She was also cited for Failure to Provide Proof of Financial Liability/accident related, Failure to Maintain Control, and Open Container/Driver-21-years of age or older. Lewin was being held in the Adair County Jail on a $1,000 c/s bond.
Trooper Tyler Shiels was called to the scene of an accident and located a vehicle Lewin had been driving, in a ditch beside the roadway on I-80 eastbound at mile marker 83. Lewin declined medical attention and during a Standardized Field Sobriety test, was shown to have a Breath Alcohol Content of .333-percent, which was slightly more than four-times over the legit limit for intoxication.
During his interaction with Lewin, she allegedly spit on Trooper Fischels and kicked Schiels in the groin area as he was attempting to get her out of the Patrol car. Lewin was read the Implied Consent Advisory and refused to submit to a urine sample. She was placed under arrest and transported to the Dallas County Jail, after being medically cleared at the hospital in Perry. Lewin was transported to Dallas County due to the Adair County Jail being closed as the result of the recent tornado.
(Radio Iowa) – Iowa State University Extension has been hosting meetings for farmers with soggy fields who have to make decisions about delayed planting. Gentry Sorenson is a field agronomist with I-S-U Extension who’s based in northwest Iowa. “The last time we had some delayed planting workshops was 2019,” Sorenson says, “so it’s been a few years.” Workshops were held in Spencer, Spirit Lake and Emmetsburg last week.
“Workshops designed to help them kind of go through some of the options,” Sorenson says, “and also hear from a crop insurance agent on some of the deadlines that are out there.” According to the National Weather Service, nearly seven inches of rain fell late last week in the small northwest Iowa community of Cleghorn — just a few days after torrential rains in places like Storm Lake and Aurelia.
(Radio Iowa) – The National Weather Service has confirmed a tornado briefly touched down in Sheldon on Friday afternoon. The National Weather Service has rated the tornado an E-F-zero and surveys indicate it tracked for nearly a mile. It peeled off roof panels on three different buildings in Sheldon and flipped a number of recreational vehicles at an R-V dealer, but no one was injured.
The National Weather Service estimates wind speeds in the Friday afternoon tornado reached 85 miles an hour and the tornado’s maximum width was 75 yards.
MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa — A suspect in a deadly shooting at a Marshalltown bar last weekend has been identified and is believed to be on the run. In a criminal complaint, authorities say Victor Delgadillo, 18, of Marshalltown, is suspected in Saturday’s shooting at Center Street Station Bar that left one person dead. Police say he is believed to be armed and dangerous.
The criminal complaint alleges Delgadillo threw a cup on the ground and was confronted by another person to pick it up. An argument began and Delgadillo pushed two people, according to the complaint. Delgadillo then showed a firearm, according to court documents, and fired multiple shots at Ramon Alexis Feliciano Nieves, 41. Nieves died from his injuries.
Delgadillo is charged with first-degree murder. Police ask that anyone with information on his whereabouts call 911 or contact Marshalltown police at 641-754-5725.

(Glenwood, Iowa) – The Glenwood Police Department reports three people were arrested on separate charges, Saturday:
(Radio Iowa) – Marshalltown police have not yet released the name of the man who was shot and killed early Saturday outside a tavern. Police Chief Mike Tupper says the incident happened about 1-20 A-M near the Center Street Station bar. “There’s a video floating around on social media that a lot of people have seen and it’s been shared with us over and over,” Tupper says, “and I want everybody to know that we do have that video and we are aware of it.”
Police say the man was shot and critically wounded, and later died at the hospital. Tupper says the incident was the result of a confrontation between the victim and another person. “It’s really unfortunate and frustrating for us how quickly people are to go to violence to settle disputes,” the chief says, “and how quickly people are to go to guns to settle disputes. I’m disturbed by that. It’s becoming a bigger problem in our society.”
Tupper says they hope to have an announcement about an arrest later today (Monday). The state D-C-I is helping with the investigation.
