(Radio Iowa) — The amount of money bet on sports in Iowa increased again in November. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission reports 59-point-three million dollars was spent on sports betting in November — nearly 13 million dollars more than October. Racing and Gaming Administrator Brian Ohorilko said he expected revenue to continue increasing as more casinos got their operations up and running. Betters have put down nearly 153-million dollars since sports wagering became legal in mid August. Fifty-six percent of the money was bet on-line. The state has taken in one-point-one million dollars in sports betting taxes.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Sioux City man accused of fatally injuring his girlfriend’s 19-month-old daughter has pleaded not guilty. Tayvon Davis entered written pleas Thursday to charges of first-degree murder, child endangerment resulting in death and child endangerment, according to Woodbury County court records. The records don’t show a trial starting date.
Davis was living with his girlfriend from July 1 through Aug. 22 last year and frequently provided child care for her daughter, the records say. He took the little girl to a local hospital on Aug. 22, and she was transferred to an Omaha, Nebraska, hospital. She was 19 months old when she died on Aug. 25, 2018. An autopsy showed the girl had several blunt force injuries to her head and a kidney and had suffered fractures to her vertebrae and ribs. Davis told investigators he had dropped the girl while giving her a bath.
Investigations of child deaths because of suspected abuse often take months because of the wait for medical records and test results and the need to interview several potential witnesses, police have said.

CENTERVILLE, Iowa (AP) — An atheist leader says his organization will fight to add displays of its own if a nativity scene is returned to a courthouse lawn in southern Iowa. The Daily Iowegian reports that the nativity scene was moved Monday from the Appanoose County Courthouse lawn in Centerville. Some residents had complained about a religious display on government property. Justin Scott is state director for the American Atheists organization, and he says it will demand equal access if officials reverse course and return the scene to the courthouse. The issue of religious displays on public property has arisen in several states, including neighboring Nebraska.
