COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – A 27-year-old woman has been given two years of probation after taking a plea deal in an Iowa sex-with-a-teen case. Court records say Jessica Pritchard was sentenced Monday in Pottawattamie County District Court. She’d pleaded guilty to enticement of a minor and dissemination of obscene material to a minor. Prosecutors had lowered the charges in return for her pleas.

The Daily Nonpareil also reports that Pritchard was given a deferred judgment, which means her two convictions will be removed from her record if she successfully completes probation. She must register for 10 years as a sex offender. Authorities say Pritchard now lives across the Missouri River in suburban Omaha, Nebraska. She was arrested in July in Alliance, Nebraska.

The driver of a pickup suffered possible/unknown injuries during a single-vehicle accident Tuesday night, in Union County. The Sheriff’s Department says 20-year old Bryce Still, of Creston, was transported by Ringgold Ambulance to the hospital in Creston, after his pickup went out of control in the 2500 block of Pole Road, at around 9:15-p.m., Tuesday. The 2004 Dodge R-15 truck spun out on the icy road and came to rest in the east ditch. The vehicle sustained about $7,500 damage. No citations were issued.

One, non-injury accident was reported Tuesday, in Atlantic. Police say vehicles driven by Glynn Westphalen and Misty Wehrli, both of Atlantic, collided at around 11-a.m. in the 800 block of East 17th Street, as Wehrli was backing out of a private driveway. Westphalen, who was traveling west on 17th Street, was unable to get stopped in-time, and struck Wehrli’s vehicle in the right rear tire area. Damage from the collision amounted to $2,700.

(Update 2/9/16) – Police Chief Steve Green says Wehrli was given a warning for unsafe backing.

The Atlantic Police Department reports three people were arrested and another was cited on drug charges over the past week. On Tuesday (2/2), 26-year old Alexander Dvorak, of Atlantic, was arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance/2nd offense, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. And, 32-year old Randi Shafer, of Atlantic, was arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance/3rd or subsequent offense, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

On Monday (2/1), 19-year old Zen Gross, of Atlantic, was arrested for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Possession of a Controlled Substance. He was given a date to appear later, in court. That same day, 22-year old Spencer Biggs, of Atlantic, was cited into court on Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Possession of a Controlled Substance charges. He too, was given a court date.

Police in Waukee are responding to reports of shots fired early this (Wednesday) morning. KCCI-TV reports Officers were called to Southeast Olson and Southeast Brick drives in Waukee at 8 a.m. Dallas County authorities said the high school and Prairie View Elementary are under a lockdown. At 8:38 a.m., Waukee school officials made the following statement on Facebook:

“Waukee Police Department has notified the district of an incident off school grounds. As a precautionary measure Waukee High School and Prairieview are on lockdown due to the external threat. No one may enter or leave the building. All students are safe.”

The Atlantic City Council this (Wednesday) evening, will act on setting the date for a public hearing on a Resolution that would approve or deny the Voluntary Annexation of a property at 56988 635th Street (Outfitters Plus). The hearing will likely be set for 5:30-p.m. March 2nd. Tonight’s meeting at City Hall, also begins at 5:30-p.m.

The property in question is located immediately north of the East Side Business Park, at the farthest eastern border of Atlantic’s political boundary. City Administrator John Lund says when the City annexed land for the East Side Business Park, consideration was given to the property mentioned to join in the annexation, but the owners chose not to do so. At that time, the property had its own sewer system, but Lund says it’s his understanding that system is failing, and the owners now want to connect to the City sewer network.

If City leaders do approve the voluntary annexation, Lund says some property east of 56988 635th Street may prove to be an option for further annexation. It would also mean the City could collect the extra penny sales tax for both the land in question and any future, adjacent annexation.

In other business, the Council is expected to approve a Resolution accepting work for the 2015 Street Improvements to close-out the contract for all of the street projects completed over the summer, that were funded through 2015 Local Option Sales Tax revenue bonds. The final contract price was 1-million, 25-thousand 144-dollars and 69-cents. ($1,025144.69).
