Pursuit leads to a crash and arrest Fri. morning in Red Oak

News

October 3rd, 2014 by Ric Hanson

An attempted traffic stop early this (Friday) morning in Red Oak resulted in a pursuit, crash and arrest. The Red Oak P-D reports officers attempted to stop a motorcycle driven by 25-year old Kyle Wayne Pack, of Red Oak, at around 1-a.m., for failure to obey a stop sign. Pack sped off on his 2003 Suzuki SV-650, and during a police pursuit, crashed the cycle into a house in the 600 block of east Joy Street.

Pack was arrested and charged with Felony Eluding, OWI/1st offense, Driving While Suspended, and Failure to Provide proof of insurance. He was brought to the Montgomery County Law Enforcement Center and held on a $5,000 cash bond.

Damage to the motorcycle amounted to $2,000. No other vehicles or property were damaged during the incident.

Teen involved in fatal fight will attend alternative school

News

October 3rd, 2014 by Ric Hanson

Officials with the Council Bluffs Community School District, Thursday, announced that the student who threw the punch in a fatal fight at Abraham Lincoln High School won’t be expelled. The Daily NonPareil reports instead, 16-year old Gregary Teer has been reassigned to an “academic reassignment center” housed at Kanesville Alternative Learning Center. According to the district’s website, Kanesville is intended for students struggling to fit in to larger classes at the high schools, who have attendance issues, who are not earning credits or who are behind on credits, as well as students taking more than four years to complete their diploma.

Diane Ostrowski, the district’s chief communications officer, told the paper Teer will not be able to return to his classes at Abraham Lincoln, which he said publicly he wants to do. Ostrowski said Teer is a junior, and there has been no discussion about what high school or academic center he will attend for his senior year.

Chad Primmer, a Council Bluffs attorney representing Teer, said his client is “very disappointed” and will challenge the district’s decision. Teer has been suspended since last Thursday when he punched 17-year old Dakota Escritt, who later died from an injury sustained from falling and hitting his head after being punched.

Earlier this week, the Pottawattamie County Attorney’s Office dropped all charges against Teer, after video-tape evidence of the fight indicated he was not the aggressor, and was trying to defend himself.

Refs union criticizes NFL inconsistency on calls

Sports

October 3rd, 2014 by Ric Hanson

NEW YORK (AP) — The union representing NFL on-field officials criticized the league Thursday for inconsistencies in grading calls, including two high-profile penalties from recent games. In a release, the NFL Referees Association says the NFL has “caused confusion for NFL officials as to what the league does and doesn’t want called.”

The union referred to penalties on Washington’s Chris Baker for a hit on Eagles quarterback Nick Foles on Sept. 21, and to Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah last Monday night for going to his knees to celebrate an interception return for a touchdown. Abdullah actually had gone to his knees to pray — an act exempted from celebration penalties.

The union says both calls were graded as correct even after NFL executives announced that they were incorrect. Baker got a 15-yard penalty and was ejected from the game at Philadelphia. Abdullah also received a 15-yard penalty.

Kershaw vs Wainwright in stellar matchup

Sports

October 3rd, 2014 by Ric Hanson

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The last time the Los Angeles Dodgers met the St. Louis Cardinals in the playoffs, Clayton Kershaw had a terrible outing and the Dodgers were bounced out of the postseason. A year later and a round earlier, Kershaw has a chance to erase those memories in Friday’s NL Division Series opener against Adam Wainwright.

Kershaw was 10-2 with a 1.70 ERA at Dodger Stadium during the regular season. Wainwright hasn’t been nearly as successful at Chavez Ravine. The right-hander is 1-3 with a 4.30 ERA in seven games, including six starts. Kershaw says losing 9-0 to the Cardinals in Game 6 of last year’s NLCS stuck with him for much of the winter.

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly says Kershaw uses every setback as extra incentive to fuel him.

**********

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Adam Wainwright already is setting off alarms at Dodger Stadium. The Cardinals ace had barely answered his first question from the media on Thursday’s workout day when a fire alarm began screeching in the interview room. “I have this effect on people,” Wainwright joked. The alarm continued wailing and a female voice announced that an emergency was occurring.

“There is smoke in the hallway,” Wainwright said, smiling. The alarm finally quieted, and Wainwright finished his session. Wainwright will start Game 1 of the NL Division Series on Friday (Today) against Kershaw.
