Iowa guide convicted of leading illegal deer hunts

November 15th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A Pennsylvania man who operated a hunting guide service in southern Iowa has been convicted of carrying out illegal hunts for whitetail deer in 2008. A jury in Des Moines on Thursday found Rodney Hughes of Mayfield, Penn., guilty of seven counts of the unlawful sale of deer taken in interstate commerce. Jurors also found him guilty of six counts of willfully submitting false information to state authorities.

Prosecutors say Hughes’ service, Midwest USA Outfitters, was a guide for several residents from other states who came to Iowa to hunt without having a buck tag. Hughes had relatives and friends obtain hunting tags that were used for the deer the hunters killed. He reported the false tag information to the state of Iowa.

The 63-year-old Hughes will be sentenced later.

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press

MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa (AP) — Jurors are set to resume deliberating later today in the case of a former Iowa jail guard accused of fatally shooting his pregnant wife. Seth Techel is charged with first-degree murder in the May 2012 slaying of his wife, Lisa Techel. Prosecutors say he wanted to pursue a relationship with another woman.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A Des Moines man who was severely injured in a bar fight two years ago is suing the bar and a party bus company, claiming both could have prevented the attack. Forey Jacobson says in his lawsuit that employees of Johnny’s Hall of Fame and B-Bumpn Party Lines should have realized how intoxicated his attacker was. He says he suffered brain damage in the attack. His assailant was sentenced to five years in prison last year but was released last month.

ELLIOTT, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say it’s safe again for residents of the southwest Iowa city of Elliot to drink tap water. The Department of Natural Resources and city officials lifted an advisory yesterday for residents to drink only bottled water after contractors hit a water main. Tests show the water is now clean.

STERLING, Ill. (AP) — Authorities have identified a man found dead on a northern Illinois highway as 65-year-old Lee E. Catlin, of Bettendorf, Iowa. Catlin’s body was found yesterday on Interstate 88 near Dixon. The coroner’s office says the autopsy showed foul play wasn’t a factor and that toxicology results are pending. Police have asked the public for any information that might be pertinent.
