DALLAS CENTER – A Dallas Center teenager was injured Saturday while setting traps and squirrel hunting when the gun he was carrying discharged into his leg.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources reports 14-year old Benjamin Beavers was transported by ambulance to Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines where he was being treated for a non-life threatening injury. The incident happened shortly before 10 a.m. on Saturday southwest of Dallas Center when the gun discharged as Beavers was coming out of a ditch.
SAC CITY, Iowa (AP) – A judge has agreed to move the first-degree murder trial of a Georgia man charged in the death of his former roommate in Iowa. The Sioux City Journal says John Green’s trial will be moved from Sac City to Fort Dodge in Webster County. The trial is set for Dec. 8.
Green’s public defender had argued that pretrial publicity would make it impossible for Green to receive a fair trial in Sac County. Green is accused of killing 58-year-old Mark Koster, of Sac City. Koster’s skeletal remains were found buried in the basement of his house in 2012.
Police say Green briefly lived with Koster in 2009. Relatives say they last saw Koster that year. He was reported missing in 2010. Green was arrested in Florida in March.
ADEL, Iowa (AP) – A compromise proposal to build an $11.8 million administration building near downtown Adel and a $16.3 million jail complex on the eastern edge of the city will be decided by voters on Tuesday. The Des Moines Register reports that under the proposal, the administration building would be constructed on a roughly four-acre stretch of land just west of the Raccoon River. The county would have to tear down residential buildings and two businesses.
Officials held four public meetings in October on the new proposal, and have assured the public that the popular Raccoon River Valley Trail near proposed construction would not be affected. In August 2013, voters in Clive, Waukee and West Des Moines largely supported the bond proposal, but fierce opposition in Adel saw the measure defeated.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Keith Williams threw the go-ahead touchdown pass to Chris Campano with 1:21 to play Saturday to lead San Diego to a 17-14 comeback win over Drake. Trailing 14-10 in the fourth quarter, Williams mounted a 13-play, 87-yard drive — the Toreros’ longest of the game — capping it with a 7-yard pass to Campano for the win. Williams was 16 of 27 for 202 yards and an interception.
Williams put San Diego (7-1, 5-1 Pioneer) on the board with a 35-yard TD pass to Brandon White in the second quarter. David Long kicked a 50-yard field goal in the third quarter, and San Diego outgained Drake 271-204.
Conley Wilkins scored on a 1-yard run and Andy Rice had a 23-yard TD run to give the Drake (5-4, 4-2) an early 14-0 lead. San Diego’s victory ends the Bulldogs’ streak of 19-straight home conference game wins, with the last loss coming in 2009.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Mark Weisman and Akrum Wadley combined for 200 yards rushing and four touchdowns, leading Iowa to a 48-7 win over Northwestern on Saturday. The Hawkeyes (6-2, 3-1 Big Ten) raced to a 24-0 lead in the first quarter and held the Wildcats to a season-low 180 yards of offense. Northwestern (3-5, 2-3) dropped its third straight game.
Weisman rushed for 94 yards and three touchdowns. It was the senior’s fifth straight game with multiple scores. Wadley rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown in his first career game. The freshman is Iowa’s first 100-yard rusher in 11 games. Iowa quarterback Jake Rudock threw for 269 yards and a score.
The Hawkeyes recorded five sacks, scored off a blocked punt and recovered a fumble. Trevor Siemian completed 8 of 18 passes for 68 yards for Northwestern.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Oklahoma’s Trevor Knight became the first FBS player this season to throw three TD passes and rush for three touchdowns in a game and the 19th-ranked Sooners trounced Iowa State 59-14 on Saturday.
Knight had 230 yards passing, a career-high 146 yards rushing and six total scores for the Sooners (6-2, 3-2 Big 12). They gained a season-high 751 yards in beating the Cyclones for the 43rd time in their past 45 tries. The Sooners had 480 yards and led 35-7 at halftime, a promising sign ahead of next week’s matchup with Baylor in Norman.
But star wide receiver Sterling Shepard was carted off with an apparent leg injury in the first quarter and did not return. Sam Richardson had 239 yards passing for Iowa State (2-6, 0-5).
A person who was in custody following a traffic stop was killed Saturday morning when they attempted to flee. The Iowa State Patrol says the incident occurred just after 5-a.m. along I-80 in central Iowa’s Jasper County.
Officials say a State Trooper was conducting an inventory of a van whose driver, 24-year old Enrique Perez, of West Des Moines, was pulled over for suspected Operating a motor vehicle While Intoxicated (OWI). While on the shoulder of I-80 about three-miles west of Newton, an individual in custody ran onto the traveled portion of the road and was struck by a passing vehicle. The impact flung the subject into the median, where they died.
The victims’ name was not immediately released, pending notification of family. The subject was transported to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Ankeny for autopsy.
