Reid takes Chiefs job

Sports

January 5th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Reid pulled up to Arrowhead Stadium in a black SUV, stepped out of it wearing a dark suit and red tie, and walked briskly toward the doors of the Kansas City Chiefs’ home. It’s his new home, as it turned out. The longtime Eagles coach signed a five-year deal, two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the terms of the contract. The Chiefs have scheduled an introductory news conference for Monday.

Reid’s agreement was finalized shortly after the Chiefs announced they had parted ways with general manager Scott Pioli (pee-OH’-lee after four tumultuous seasons in Kansas City. It’s expected that Reid will pursue longtime Packers personnel man John Dorsey or former Browns GM Tom Heckert — or perhaps both of them — to work with him in the front office.

Breaking News: Body in Sac County house was kidnapping suspect’s mom

News

January 4th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

EARLY, Iowa (AP) — A prosecutor says the woman found dead in a western Iowa farmhouse during a kidnapping investigation is the kidnapping suspect’s mother. Sac County Attorney Ben Smith said Friday that 21-year-old Kirk Riley Levin’s mother, Marilyn Schmitt, was the woman found dead in the farmhouse in Early, 100 miles northwest of Des Moines. Sheriff Ken McClure says a 21-year-old woman told investigators that Levin assaulted her and told her he was kidnapping her after showing up at her home Thursday morning asking for a ride to the house. He says she managed to get away and get help from a local resident.

Levin was released from prison Tuesday after serving more than two years for burglary. Investigators found him hiding in a barn Thursday and arrested him. Levin remained jailed Friday on preliminary charges of assault with intent to commit sexual assault, assault while participating in a felony, and third-degree kidnapping.

Levin was released New Year’s Day from the prison in Mount Pleasant after serving a little more than two years of a five-year sentence for third-degree burglary, Iowa Department of Corrections spokesman Fred Scaletta said. Iowa prison terms are frequently reduced if inmates stay out of trouble while incarcerated.

Iowa officials: Deadline soon on foreclosure claim

News

January 4th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa officials are reminding some homeowners affected by foreclosure to submit a claim for compensation from a national settlement. Attorney General Tom Miller says borrowers have until Jan. 18 to file a claim under a national mortgage settlement worth $25 billion. More than 11,000 Iowa homeowners who lost their property between 2008 and 2011 are likely eligible. Miller says more than half of the qualified borrowers that were notified in September have filed claims.

Eligible borrowers had mortgages with the five largest servicers in the country. The settlement sets aside money for borrowers whose foreclosure proceedings may have been mishandled.

News

January 4th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

EARLY, Iowa (AP) – A man arrested in western Iowa on charges of assault and kidnapping had been released from prison just two days earlier.  Sac County Sheriff Ken McClure said his office received a call about 8 a.m. Thursday after someone encountered a 21-year-old Storm Lake woman who claimed she had been kidnapped. After talking with the woman, officers searched the area and found 21-year-old Kirk Riley Levin hiding in a barn.

Levin is in the Sac County Jail on charges of assault and kidnapping.  While investigating the kidnapping, officers found a woman’s body at the rural Early farmhouse where Levin lived and are investigating how she died. McClure says her death is suspicious.  The Iowa Department of Corrections says Levin was released from prison on Tuesday after serving a sentence or burglary.

Chiefs, GM Pioli Split After 4 Seasons in KC

Sports

January 4th, 2013 by Jim Field

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Scott Pioli is out as general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The team announced in a statement Friday that the two sides have “mutually parted ways” after four seasons marked by poor personnel decisions and failed coaching hires.

The Chiefs fired coach Romeo Crennel on Monday after going 2-14, matching the worst record in their 53-year history. Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said at the time other changes could be made, and indicated Pioli’s future could be determined by their next coach.

The Chiefs are nearing a deal with Andy Reid to replace Crennel. The team and the former Eagles coach have been negotiating at length the past couple days.
