The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest early this (Saturday) morning of a man wanted on a warrant for Felony Eluding. 21-year old Johnathan Tyler McAlpin, of Red Oak, was taken into custody at around 12:15-a.m. and brought to the Montgomery County Jail, where he was being held on $10,000 cash bond.
McAlpin was originally arrested Jan. 21st following a high-speed chase that began near Griswold during the late night hours on Jan, 20th. The chase ended in a field near Clarinda when the pickup McAplin was driving crashed. McAlpin, and a passenger in the pickup, 22-year old Alexandra Marie Sindt, of Griswold, took off on foot but were apprehended about 2-hours later.
McAlpin was initially charged in Montgomery County with felony Criminal Mischief 2nd Degree and Assault with a Deadly Weapon upon a Peace Officer, as the result of the alleged ramming of a police cruiser with the pursued vehicle. Multiple charges were also filed against McAlpin in Page and Cass Counties in association with the chase, which resulted in damage to several law enforcement vehicles.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A bill being considered by Iowa lawmakers would require that women who get mammogram exams would later be given a written statement about breast tissue density. Experts say dense breast tissue can make it harder for a mammogram to catch a possible tumor and may increase the risk of breast cancer. Bills are being considered in the Iowa House and Senate that would require Iowa’s Department of Public Health to adopt rules that breast density data would be included in mammogram reports to patients and physicians.
Dubuque Sen. Pam Jochum says the information would give women an extra sense of security. But some doctors say it could needlessly worry women and the state should leave such matters to physicians.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — One of the six men from China charged with conspiring to steal patented seed corn from two of the nation’s leading seed developers has appeared in federal court in Des Moines. Mo Hailong, also known as Robert Mo, appeared Thursday before Magistrate Judge Ross Walters. He entered a plea of not guilty to one count of conspiracy to steal trade secrets. Walters set a trial date for March 31 and ordered Mo held until trial.
A lawyer based in Beijing was approved to represent Mo. Mo was arrested in Miami on Dec. 11. FBI investigators say highly valuable seed corn owned by Pioneer Hybrid and Monsanto was being taken from test fields.
A construction worker at the Google Data Center on the south side of Council Bluffs was cited Friday for 3rd degree Harassment, following an investigation into threats that caused the facility to be locked down for nearly an hour. Sgt. Chad Meyers with the Council Bluffs Police Department told the Daily NonPareil that authorities were called to the Data Center at around 9 a.m., Friday.
Meyers said an argument between 21-year-old Dontell Rowland, who was working construction at the location, and other construction employees was initially thought to have escalated to the point that Rowland threatened someone with a gun. Roland left the site and was pulled over by police, who searched his vehicle and home – per Rowland’s consent – and found no weapon.
Meyers said police later learned that Rowland had not threatened to use a weapon, but had threatened physical violence.
