Sheriff’s officials in Montgomery County report a traffic stop Tuesday afternoon in Red Oak resulted in the arrest of a man on drug-related charges. When a deputy stopped 41-year old Larry Steve Hutchings, of Emerson in the 100 block of west Reed Street, he learned the man was driving on a suspended license. Upon further investigation, Hutchings was taken into custody on two counts of delivery of marijuana in connection with a previous investigation.
Hutchings was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $5,000 cash only bond.

Coach comments: It is not the best to have to start our season against Kuemper, but this meet is a good gauge of where we are at and for a first meet, I feel we are sitting in a good spot. Kuemper is a solid team; defending state champs.
Very happy for Brooke Fletcher topping their top 3 golfers for medalist honors with a 3 over par. She finished with 4 pars and a birdie. Erin Olsen is starting the season out strong – some solid pokes of the tees and finishing holes, also with 4 pars. Newcomers Brooke Newell and McKenna DenBeste seemed jittery at first but played more relaxed the second half of their rounds.

Coach comments: Nice start to the golf season. One of our first rounds on the back. Course was in good shape for the weather. Great to see Evan have a great score when he wasn’t hitting greens. One under for the first match. Look forward to seeing that more often. I though Sam Renaud and Jake Olsen had solid rounds. Both felt they could have shot better. Also nice to see Kyle come in as our 4th score. He struggled on a hole or two but played well otherwise. Cooper and Zac also had good scores. Take out two bad holes and played well. Great start to season.

The Fourth of July holiday is in the reservation window for state park campsites and while there are currently plenty of options, campers shouldn’t wait as sites can go quickly. Todd Coffelt, chief of state parks for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, says “Our parks have a lot to offer and no two parks are the same. If your favorite park has filled, give a different park a try.” To find a campsite, go to http://iowastateparks.reserveamerica.com/
As of Tuesday morning, reservable campsites with electricity have been filled at Clear Lake, Elinor Bedell, Emerson Bay, Gull Point, Lake Macbride and Lewis and Clark, near Onawa. Campers wanting to stay in those parks for the holiday will need to arrive early to secure a walk in site.
A few other state parks are close to filling reserved sites. Ledges and McIntosh Woods each have one reservable handicap site available. Viking Lake has one electrical site; Lake of Three Fires has two; George Wyth, Lake Wapello, Maquoketa Caves and Stone have three; and Green Valley has four. Dolliver Memorial, Union Grove and Wapsipinicon each have five electrical sites; Backbone and Lake Manawa have six; and Bellevue has seven.
Speculation abounds that the overnight violence at Iowa State University will spell the end of the long-running annual VEISHEA celebration, which got underway on Monday. Ames police Commander Geoff Huff says the problems started just before midnight with a crowd that was getting out of control at a party in the Campustown area on Hunt Street. “We had officers go into that area and they were able to get control of that fairly quickly, didn’t think it was that big of a deal,” Huff says. “A lot of the crowd moved from that area over to Welch Avenue and at that point they flipped over a car and that’s when this thing got bad.”
More officers were dispatched to try and disperse the crowd but it only grew and became more violent. “The crowd went another block east to Stanton Avenue and got very large, flipped over another car and as officers responded the crowd got worse and started throwing beer cans at the officers, rocks at the officers, anything that wasn’t nailed down,” Huff says. Several injuries are reported, including one young man who was seriously hurt.
“At Welch and Chamberlain, a couple of light poles were knocked down by the large group and somebody was hit when a light pole came down,” Huff says. “It was a head injury. It was very serious. It took us a while to actually get to him because of the crowd and confusion.” The unidentified man was taken to an Ames hospital, then LifeFlighted to a Des Moines hospital for treatment of his injuries.
Huff says it’s unclear if this will mean an end to the annual student-run celebration at I-S-U, with 90-plus years of history. “I’m sure there’s going to be some meetings that take place today to discuss what happened and how we move forward into this weekend,” he says. “I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of conversations and I don’t know where that’s going to go right now.”
I-S-U President Steven Leath issued this statement early this morning:
“I was immediately made aware of the situation that began in Campustown shortly before midnight, and have continued to receive information over the past few hours from police and other staff. We are all distraught and disappointed over the events that have unfolded near campus overnight. I can confirm that one of our students has been seriously injured and his condition is unknown at this hour. Student Affairs staff have reached out to the family. At this time, I ask everyone to keep this student in your thoughts and prayers. My senior cabinet will convene first thing in the morning to assess this situation and evaluate options for the remainder of our official Veishea activities planned for this week.”
