IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – A law firm says more than 70 Iowa communities are getting a total of more than $3.5 million from the settlement of a lawsuit filed against a Swiss manufacturer of the herbicide atrazine. The Iowa City Press-Citizen says Iowa City’s share is nearly $141,000. Spokesman Jerry Brown for Korein Tillery, the law firm that handled the lawsuit, says a dozen Iowa communities will receive between $100,000 and $350,000 each from the $105 million settlement. The lawsuit against Syngenta was settled in October.
City officials say Iowa City water customers are no longer being exposed to the weed killer, which can run off farm fields. The city began operating a new water treatment facility in 2003, and the water no longer comes straight from the Iowa River.
Authorities in Union County say a man wanted for the attempted murder of a Creston woman Wednesday morning was arrested and is being held in the Union County Jail in Creston.
Officials report 20-year-old William Michael Bird turned himself in to the Union County Law Enforcement Center today (Thursday), at around 2:20-a.m. He was subsequently arrested on three Union County Warrants charging him with Attempted Murder, Domestic Abuse, and Burglary in the 1st Degree. His combined bond for the charges was set at $52,000.
Authorities said Wednesday, Bird’s female victim was able to get away from the Creston residence where an incident of assault allegedly took place. She ran to a neighbor’s home, but Bird allegedly chased her down and stabbed the unidentified victim her in the upper chest before fleeing the scene. The woman was taken to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston for treatment. Her name, and a report on her condition, is not available.
