Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Governor Terry Branstad has given a $5,000 bonus to the Iowa Civil Rights Commission director, commending her for firing problem employees and reducing its case backlog. The bonus announced yesterday for Beth Townsend signals Branstad isn’t backing off his controversial practice of granting bonuses to agency leaders that he believes deserve them. But spokesman Tim Albrecht says Branstad will continue using bonuses in “the rarest of circumstances” to reward high-performers.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — A Fairfax man who successfully appealed a murder conviction has agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges in the case. Jacovan Bush pleaded guilty yesterday in Linn County District Court to substituted charges in connection with Thomas Horvath’s death. They include voluntary manslaughter, intimidation with a dangerous weapon and going armed with intent.
OTTUMWA, Iowa (AP) — An eastern Iowa man sought in a child endangerment case has been found and arrested. Authorities say 25-year-old Michael Blair of Swisher is being held in the Wapello County Jail on $200,000 bail. Police say Blair is suspected of child endangerment involving a seriously injured 2-month-old who was taken to an Ottumwa hospital on December 7th.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Prosecutors have dismissed a sexual abuse charge against Iowa State basketball player Bubu Palo, paving the way for him to rejoin the Cyclones. Palo was suspended from the team in September after being charged with sexually abusing a woman he was driving home in May.
A southwest Iowa teen says he was the victim of an attempted armed robbery Saturday night, in Council Bluffs. According to the Daily NonPareil, 17-year old Michael Kleindienst, of Villisca, reported to Council Bluffs Police the incident occurred in a parking lot at the Mall of the Bluffs, at around 7:30-p.m., Saturday. The teen told the authorities he was walking to his van to retrieve his wallet while on break from work at the Hy-Vee Food Store at 1745 Madison Ave., when he heard a car door slam and footsteps approaching him.
The alleged robber was wearing a ski mask and was armed with a black handgun. He reportedly demanded the teen’s money, but when Kleindienst told the man he didn’t have any money, the gunman left the area. Police believe the man got into a newer, four-door, dark colored Dodge sedan. No money was taken and no injuries were reported.
Anyone with information on the incident should contact Crime Stoppers at (712) 328-STOP. Callers may remain anonymous and might be eligible for a cash reward.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs introduced longtime Packers executive John Dorsey as their new general manager Monday, turning over a team that was 2-14 to one of them men responsible for building Green Bay into a consistent winner. Dorsey takes over for Scott Pioli, who was fired after four tumultuous seasons. The Chiefs announced the Dorsey had been hired on Saturday night, while the Packers were playing the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC playoffs.
Dorsey played for the Packers and later was a scout and director of scouting while new Chiefs coach Andy Reid was an assistant in Green Bay. Dorsey left to spend a year in Seattle, but returned to the Packers and rose to director of football operations.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Prosecutors have dismissed a sexual abuse charge against Iowa State basketball player Bubu Palo, paving the way for him to rejoin the Cyclones. Palo was suspended from the team in September after being charged with sexually abusing a woman he was driving home in May. The Story County Attorney’s Office announced Monday that new forensic evidence found on the woman’s blouse clashed with her and her mother’s sworn testimony.
Iowa State said later Monday that Palo had been cleared to resume basketball-related activities. Palo says he’s relieved and that he felt he’d never gotten a chance to defend himself. He says he was raised to do the right thing and “would never make a mistake to this level.” Another man who’d been charged, Spencer Cruise, of Ames, also was cleared.
