DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — A third person has been charged in the slaying of a man at his Davenport home. Court records say 21-year-old Dmarithe Culbreath is charged with conspiracy, robbery and first-degree murder. He’s already serving prison time on an unrelated charge. It’s unclear whether he has an attorney for the new case. He’s accused in the shooting death of 20-year-old Brady Tumlinson during a robbery in September. A woman there also was injured.
Police say Culbreath and four others were involved. One of them, Nakita Wiseman Jr., has pleaded guilty to burglary and robbery and has agreed to testify against the others. Another of them, Tristin Antonio Joseph Alderman, is awaiting trial. The two others have not been named.

Two people have been arrested on drug-related charges, in Red Oak. According to Red Oak Police, 25-year old Caleb Robert Renn, of Red Oak, was arrested at around 1-a.m. today (Friday), for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Renn was cited and summoned to court before being released. And, 38-year old Becky Jo Brace, of Red Oak, was arrested at around 6:25-p.m. Thursday, for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. She was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $300 bond.
Iowa Senator Joni Ernst says she is frustrated the Farm Bill has not yet been worked up and passed out of the Ag Committee she serves on. The Republican from Red Oak says the work has been slowed by Democrats. “There are some hang-ups coming from our friends across the aisle,” Ernst says, “they would like to have more initiatives put into the Farm Bill and so on and so forth. And because of that, they are not willing to move ahead right now, and that’s very unfortunate.”
Ernst says they had hoped to have the bill done shortly after Easter. Now it’s going to be several more weeks. “We do anticipate that we will have this out mid-June,” Ernst says. “To me that’s just way behind schedule. Again, we should have had this done, farmers should have had certainty. And it looks like it will be delayed. Again, progress on the floor of the Senate is very slow.
The Farm Bill has been held up in the U-S House by discussions of immigration and other issues. Ernst says she doesn’t have a problem with that. “They should have those debates. Have those debates on the floor of the House. I think that is important that everybody have a voice and talk about what is important, what is not import,” according to Ernst. “But that shouldn’t slow us down from getting our work don in the Senate through the Ag Committee. And that has been very frustrating — that we have not brought up the bill yet in committee.”
Ernst made her comments during her weekly conference call with reporters.
