(Radio Iowa) — A Winnebago County supervisor has pleaded guilty to charges after bringing a gun to a meeting and being drunk. Sixty-three-year-old Michael Stensrud of Lake Mills pleaded guilty to the charges of carrying a firearm while under the influence and public intoxication. Stensrud was charged on May 21st after law enforcement was called to the Winnebago County Courthouse in Forest City for a man who was possibly intoxicated. Stensrud was at a supervisors meeting at the time, with officers saying he smelled of alcohol and had a pistol in his right pocket. Court documents state that Stensrud’s blood alcohol level was above the legal limit.

Stensrud had a request to have his trial moved out of Winnebago County denied, then agreed to plead guilty as part of a plea deal in which prosecutors would recommend a deferred judgment and six months probation. Under the terms of a deferred judgment, if he completes the terms of his probation, the conviction would be removed from his record. Stensrud is scheduled to be sentenced on January 24th.

Stensrud, who played football at Iowa State University before going pro, was in the NFL for a decade before retiring in 1989.

Emergency responders and law enforcement were dispatched at around 7:05-a.m. today (Wednesday), to the rollover of a delivery truck off Interstate 80, in Cass County.

He transported by Medivac to CCMH for treatment of minor injuries.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Des Moines City Council has disbanded the city’s Citizen Odor Board. The council took the action Monday after concluding the panel was no longer needed after nearly 30 years of recording complaints. It had no enforcement powers. People still will be able to report stenches to the city’s 24/7 odor hotline: (515) 244-0336. If the city gets 10 complaints about the same smell within six hours, it will investigate the source. A city official says an administrative law judge would hear appeals from companies found to be significant odor generators.

INDEPENDENCE, Iowa (AP) — A convicted felon accused of lying on his voter registration application and voting in the November election has been imprisoned. William Gibson, of Hazleton, was sentenced Tuesday in Independence to 30 years in prison. He’d pleaded guilty to two counts of election misconduct and a drug possession charge. Each felony count filed against Gibson was enhanced because he is a habitual offender. The prosecutors say Gibson lied on his voter registration application when he attested that he’d never been convicted of a felony. And prosecutors say Gibson cast a provisional ballot in the November election. Poll workers suspected he was a convicted felon.

CENTERVILLE, Iowa (AP) — A Nativity scene removed from a county courthouse lawn in southern Iowa won’t be returning. The scene was erected Nov. 18 outside the Appanoose County Courthouse in Centerville, but some residents complained that a religious display shouldn’t be placed on government property. It was moved away Dec. 9. Other residents soon called for its return. The county owns the building and the land underneath; the city owns the lawn. The Daily Iowegian reports that City Administrator Jason Fraser said at Monday’s council meeting that the Nativity scene location was just an agenda discussion item, so the council couldn’t vote on the issue.
