SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A judge has found an Iowa man mentally competent to stand trial in the slaying of a Nebraska man in Sioux City. Woodbury County District Court records say Judge Patrick Tott said in his ruling issued Tuesday that 31-year-old Daniel Levering may not be willing to assist in his defense but is competent to do so.
Levering has pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder. He’s accused of stabbing to death 36-year-old Vincent Walker on July 23, 2017. Walker lived in Winnebago, Nebraska. A trial starting date hasn’t been set.
Two people were arrested Wednesday on separate charges, in Creston. Authorities say 40-year old Brady Richert, of Creston, was arrested a little after 9-a.m. in the 100 block of Manor Drive, on charge of Public Intoxication and Disorderly Conduct. Richert was being held in the Union County Jail on a $600 bond. And, at around 9:40-p.m., Creston Police arrested 31-year old Waymond Foster, of Creston. Foster was was arrested at the Union County Law Enforcement Center, on a charge of Domestic Abuse 2nd Offense. He was being held in the Union County Jail while awaiting a bond hearing.
