Authorities used a stun gun to subdue a man who was being uncooperative with authorities this (Sunday) afternoon, north of Treynor. Initial dispatch reports said the man, who is said to have had military training, may have been armed, suicidal, and under the influence. When a Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Deputy confronted the subject near 15730 300th Street, he called for assistance, because the subject allegedly refused to turn around and obey commands. The man was Tazed and taken into custody just after 1-p.m.

Medics were called to evaluate the man and treat him for any injuries. Additional details are not available.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Central Iowa residents are picking up fallen tree limbs and dealing with other minor damage from overnight storms. The storms that moved across the state early Sunday knocked down some trees and traffic lights with 55 mph winds.

In Ames, two light poles were sheared off and several sheds in the parking lot of a Lowes store were heavily damaged. Some windows were broken out at a car wash, and several stop signs were blown over. More than 2 inches of rain fell overnight on parts of Jasper, Webster and Marshall counties.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Data shows the number of abortions performed annually in Iowa is declining. Between 2010 and 2013, the number of abortions decreased from nearly 5,400 to just over 4,420. That represents an 18.1 percent drop.

The Associated Press compiled the data based on information from the Iowa Department of Public Health. Data on abortion rates was collected from health departments in 45 U.S. states that keep such information on a comprehensive basis. It shows the annual number of abortions has declined substantially since 2010 in most states.

Penny Dickey with Planned Parenthood of the Heartland in Iowa says the decline is linked to better access to family planning services like contraception. Jenifer Bowen with Iowa Right to Life argues more pregnancy centers in Iowa are offering counseling services to women.
