SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Two Sioux City residents have been accused of robbing and torturing a man at their apartment.  Police say 33-year-old Melissa Lowe and 32-year-old Brandon Keleher were arrested Saturday morning. Online court records say they’re both charged with two felonies: willful injury and robbery.

Officers were sent to the apartment after a neighbor complained about a disturbance there. The officers say they found a man who’d been stabbed and burned with a kitchen utensil that had been heated.  The man said he’d met the couple Friday night. He was taken to a hospital for treatment, and he was released later.  Lowe and Keleher remained in Woodbury County custody today (Monday).

Crawford County man pleads guilty to voluntary manslaughter

News

August 26th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

A Crawford County man accused of murder has pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. According to the Daily Nonpareil, 28 year old Ben Wingrove made his plea Friday, in Crawford County District Court. Along with voluntary manslaughter, Wingrove also plead guilty to intimidation with a dangerous weapon and reckless use of a firearm. Each felony charge carries up to a 10 year prison sentence.

Crawford County Attorney Roger Sailer told the paper the agreement would have Wingrove serve the sentences consecutively. The initial charge in the case was first-degree murder, in connection with the death of 29-year old Adam Lary. The incident resulting in Lary’s death occurred March 16th outside of a local tavern in Dow City.

According to court records, the men argued at the bar around 1-am. When Lary walked outside followed by Wingrove, Wingrove fired shots at the Ford Taurus Lary was driving, hitting him in the chest. The vehicle ended up crashing into a garage.

Court documents say Wingrove called 911 and that he admitted shooting at a car that swerved. Deputies found Wingrove standing with a pistol next to him. Lary was transported to a local hospital, and died a short time later.
