Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:50 a.m. CDT

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An ex-University of Iowa athletic administrator says during her tenure she became concerned after noticing female coaches who were fired often were gay and had become more open about their sexuality. Jane Meyer testified Wednesday about Iowa coaches as her case continued in Des Moines, where jurors are considering her claim she suffered discrimination as a gay woman in a relationship with a coach. Meyer alleges Iowa retaliated against her and paid her less than another deputy athletic director.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Steve King is toasting the deportation of a man whose attorneys say is the first known person who qualifies for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to be removed from the country by President Donald Trump. Juan Manuel Montes has sued the federal government over his deportation to Mexico. King, of Iowa, posted a picture on Twitter of a filled mug Tuesday. The post read: “First non-valedictorian DREAMer deported. Border Patrol, this one’s for you.”

WINTERSET, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a second teenager has been arrested in connection with a fire that destroyed an iconic covered bridge featured in the best-selling novel “The Bridges of Madison County.” Madison County Sheriff Jason Barnes tells Des Moines television station KCCI that an 18-year-old man from Norwalk has been arrested on suspicion of first-degree arson for the fire that destroyed the Cedar Bridge near Winterset.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Two Ames police officers who shot at a suspects’ car and injured two men in February have been cleared to return to work. The Des Moines Register reports that police investigators have found the shooting by Sgt. Derek Grooters and Officer Clint Hertz to be justified. Investigators say the officers fired into a car in which guns were fired into a crowd. Five people in all were injured by gunfire.
