IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Peter Jok scored 27 points and Jarrod Uthoff had 24 points, 15 rebounds and six blocked shots to help fourth-ranked Iowa hold off skidding Minnesota 75-71 on Sunday night. Iowa rebounded from Thursday’s loss at Indiana to regain sole possession of first place in the Big Ten.
Nate Mason scored 14 points to lead Minnesota, which has lost 14 straight games. Uthoff overcame a slow start shooting by recording a big dunk, three blocks and a pair of free throws in the final 1:17 to help secure the victory for the Hawkeyes (20-5, 11-2).
Jok shot 8 of 14 and hit four 3-pointers. Minnesota (6-19, 0-13) cut Iowa’s lead to 66-64 on two free throws by Joey King with 2:58 remaining, but the Gophers went 2 of 8 from the field in the final 2 minutes.
A woman from Bridgewater was arrested last week in Adair County, on a Dept. of Corrections warrant for Parole Violation on an original felony controlled substance violation charge. 41-year old Virginia Jean Keasey was taken into custody by Adair County Deputies on Feb. 10th and immediately transferred to the authority of Ringgold County. She remains in the Ringgold County Jail, with a probation hearing was set for Feb. 26th.
The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports also, 35-year old Robert Sims, of Bridgewater, was arrested at around 11:50-p.m. on Feb. 11th, for Driving Under Suspension. Sims was cited at the scene of the traffic stop, and then released from custody.
Officials with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources say a Grand Junction man was seriously injured Sunday afternoon while snowmobiling west of Boone along U.S. Highway 30. 35-year old Damion Louk was third in line of five snowmobiles traveling eastbound in the median of the highway,when the left front ski caught deep snow near a culvert snapping the connections and sending him and the snowmobile air born.
Louk was traveling at an estimated speed of 60 miles per hour and was thrown approximately 150 feet before landing near the shoulder of the highway. Authorities say they believe his helmet may have not been fastened, as it came off during the incident and landed separately. Louk was transported to Boone County Hospital where he was later transferred by helicopter to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines.
The incident remains under investigation. Deputies with the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, members of the Iowa State Patrol and Iowa Department of Natural Resources assisted at the scene.
