SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Sioux City police officer is recovering after being wounded by a suspect who also shot and wounded himself before his arrest. The Sioux City Journal reports the incident happened Saturday morning when officers were following up on a number of reported robberies and burglaries.

While at an apartment, an 18-year-old man shot and wounded a 13-year veteran of the police force. The man also hurt himself. The wounded officer was treated at a local hospital and released. The 18-year-old suspect remained in custody Sunday. He hadn’t yet appeared in court to be formally charged, so he doesn’t have a lawyer representing him yet.

The last time a Sioux City officer was shot and wounded in the line of duty was October 2014.

A fight inside a vehicle early Sunday morning in Adams County led to a crash that resulted in one person being sent to the hospital. The Adams County Sheriff’s Office says 27-year old Christopher Adam Fannon, of Corning, faces OWI and Domestic Assault charges, after an investigation into the incident, which was reported to authorities at around 1-a.m., Saturday.

Officials say a vehicle occupied by Fannon and another person was traveling on Birch Avenue, when Fannon and the other person began fighting. The vehicle went off the road and entered a field. The unidentified passenger was injured during the altercation and transported to the Corning Hospital for treatment. Fannon was taken into custody as was being held in the Adams County Jail on a $1,000 cash bond.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Documents show the Iowa attorney general’s office has a large backlog of criminal appeal cases, and the agency has warned the state about staffing issues for years. Chief Deputy Attorney General Eric Tabor described the conditions in a Jan. 7th letter to the Iowa Executive Council, which authorizes some expenses involving litigation.

Tabor sought permission for the Iowa attorney general’s office to hire three lawyers on a temporary basis to reduce the load. The office faces a backlog of about 100 criminal appeal cases. The council later approved the request.

Tabor says an Iowa Supreme Court rule change in 2012 that required more filing of appeal briefs has added work to the office. Documents show the agency tried to alert the state in 2013.

Firefighters in Council Bluffs discovered a body in a home that caught fire Saturday evening. Fire Chief Justin James says crews were dispatched at around 5:40-p.m. to 2722 Avenue H for a reported structure fire. They arrived less than three minutes later and found light smoke coming from a single family dwelling.

Upon entering the house crews were able to extinguish the fire quickly and conduct a primary search of the residence. Upon completion of the primary search fire crews reported to have found a deceased victim inside of the home. The victim has not been identified at this time.

Personnel from the Council Bluffs Fire Marshal’s Office, Council Bluffs Police Department, and the Pottawattamie County Medical Examiner’s Office are conducting the investigation. The fire and cause of death remains under investigation.
