Sheriff’s officials in Pottawattamie County report they have received two separate reports of scams from residents attempting to sell items on Craigslist. The Sheriff’s Office says if you use Craigslist to sell products or services, it’s important to be aware of the scams you may encounter along the way.

One of the most common is the Craigslist overpayment scam, which usually involves a cashier’s check or money order sent from the buyer for an amount that exceeds the cost of the item being sold. With this scam, these cashier’s checks and money orders won’t clear, leaving the seller responsible for the amount with the bank.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – A former University of Iowa employee has been arrested on charges he secretly recorded people using a campus restroom. The Iowa City Police Department says 46-year-old Nicodemus Hendrick, of Coralville, was arrested Thursday on 13 counts of invasion of privacy. He is accused of hiding the camera in a bathroom at the University Capitol Centre’s Information Technology Services space in June.

According to police complaints, the camera could have been in operation as early as March 1, 2014. The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports at least five people were recorded or photographed “in a state of nudity” without their consent. Hendrick was a former employee of the department. A news release from UI says additional security measures have since been implemented.

The Glenwood Police Department reports the arrest on Wednesday, of 33-year old Toby Merritt. The Glenwood man was arrested for Shoplifting. His cash bond was set at $300.
