Authorities in Montgomery County report a Red Oak teen was been held at the Southwest Iowa Juvenile Detention Center in Council Bluffs, after allegedly making terroristic threats last week against another student at the Stanton High School. An investigation by Red Oak Police and the Sheriff’s Office determined 14-year old Dylan Martensen, of Red Oak, allegedly made a threat about bringing a gun to school with intentions of using it against another student.

Martensen will remain at the Juvenile Detention Center until his hearing takes place within the Juvenile Court System. An investigation into the incident continues.

Omaha television station WOWT is reporting a plea deal has been reached in the case of a western Iowa teen facing two felony counts of sex abuse and one felony count of kidnapping.  The charges stem from allegations made in the winter of 2012 after at least five girls reported 17-year old Kreighton Dale Elwood assaulted them. Elwood is the son of Treynor School District Superintendent Kevin Elwood. In a tentative deal arranged late Tuesday afternoon at the Pottawattamie County Courthouse, the younger Elwood and his attorney have agreed to withdraw a request to have his case moved to juvenile court. He will instead be tried as an adult.

The teen is accused of forcibly removing one victims clothes and fondling her in his truck, covering her mouth with his hand to keep her quiet, and preventing her from leaving the vehicle. In a separate case, Elwood is accused of trying to rip off a victim’s underwear and forcing her to touch him inappropriately. The alleged incidents date back to November 2012. Elwood turned himself in to Pottawattamie County authorities on July 11th.

Court documents say Elwood is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 9th for his arraignment hearing. If found guilty, Elwood faces up to 10-years in prison for each of the alleged felony sexual assaults, and life in prison without parole, for felony 1st degree kidnapping.
