June 7th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Harlan, Iowa) – Police in Harlan, Tuesday (today), said there were two recent arrests to report. On Monday (June 6), 32-year-old Brooke Megan Hytle, of Harlan, was arrested for Public Intoxication. And, on Saturday, 19-year-old Daija Suzanne Buttry, of Harlan, was arrested following a traffic stop. Buttry was transported to the Shelby County Jail where she was charged with possession of a controlled substance, driving while suspended, no proof of insurance, windshield requirement, fail to display license plate, no seat belt and minor in possession of alcohol.

And, Harlan Police investigated two, non-injury accidents. On Friday, vehicles driven by Grace Mallory, of Charter Oak, and Tonya Feekes, of Walnut, collided head-on, when Mallory’s 1993 Pontiac Bonneville crossed the center line of the road as it was traveling east, in the 1200 block of Chatburn Avenue, and collided with Feekes’ westbound 2016 Dodge Ram.

The other accident occurred at 19th and Chatburn in Harlan, on June 2nd. Authorities say Danny Kittrell, of Harlan, was attempting to turn left onto 19th Street.  Samantha Wahling, of Shelby, was unable to stop. Her 2001 Toyota Camry struck Kitrell’s 2016 Honda Civic, in the rear.

Governor said Guardsman had been relieved of duty before fatal Ames shooting

News

June 7th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds says the Iowa National Guard’s adjutant general has briefed her about the Guard’s connection to last week’s shooting at an Ames church, as a man who’d been a member of the Guard since 2015 shot a woman to death who was a member of the same unit.

The Story County Sheriff says Johnathan Whitlach shot 22-year-old Eden Montang and another women, then shot himself to death. Montang had recently ended a relationship with Whitlach and he had been charged at the end of May with harassing her at work. Reynolds today said leaders of the Guard were aware of Whitlach’s actions.

“He was full-time and relieved of duty and so I have to be careful how much is out and what isn’t,” Reynolds said. “There were some steps that had been taken.”

Whitlach was seeing a mental health counselor, according to the governor. “But again, some people just have evil in their heart and I don’t know what we can do and it’s not necessarily a gun,” Reynolds said. “We’ve seen them use other things, especially in domestic abuse.”

Montang’s friend, 21-year-old Vivian Flores, was also shot to death outside Cornerstone Church in Ames. The two women were active in a youth ministry at the church.
