Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 1:45 a.m. CDT

WEST BRANCH, Iowa (AP) — Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is finding fans among skeptics of the Democratic establishment in Iowa. This, after 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton suggested without giving evidence that Gabbard is being “groomed” by Russians to act as a spoiler in the 2020 race.

MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in eastern Iowa say a bicyclist has died after being hit by a car in Muscatine County. The Iowa State Patrol tells the Des Moines Register that 56-year-old Michael Joseph Mann, of Muscatine, was biking on a county road near Moscow late Thursday afternoon when a vehicle struck him from behind. Mann was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators have not reported filing charges in the case.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — The last of the five people charged in a man’s fatal 2017 shooting during a Davenport robbery has been found guilty. The Quad-City Times reports that a jury on Friday found 36-year-old Christopher Dixon guilty of first-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit a forcible felony in the Sept. 22, 2017, shooting that killed 20-year-old Brady Tumlinson and injured Tumlinson’s girlfriend.

NORTHWOOD, Iowa (AP) — The owner of a northern Iowa dog breeding operation has been found been guilty of animal neglect. The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that 66-year-old Barbara Kavars, of Manly, was found guilty Friday of 14 counts of misdemeanor animal neglect in connection with the operation of a puppy mill. Prosecutors say Kavars was holding Samoyed dogs in inhumane conditions when officials raided her operation on Nov. 12 and took about 150 dogs.

One person suffered what were described as minor, non-life threatening injuries, during an accident Saturday afternoon, south of Anita. Cass County Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Shiels told KJAN news the accident happened at 750th (Highway 148) and Jackson Road, at around 4:20-pm.

Shiels said a white Ford Taurus was traveling westbound on Jackson Road, when for reasons unknown it went out of control and struck another vehicle that was parked along the road, while the other driver was taking a break. The Ford sustained heavy front-end, disabling damage, and was a total loss. The driver of the parked vehicle was not injured.

The unidentified driver of the Taurus was transported by Anita Rescue to the Cass County Memorial Hospital for treatment. No charges have been filed. The accident remains under investigation.

No. 23 Iowa holds off Purdue 26-20

Sports

October 19th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Mekhi Sargent ran for a 14-yard score with 2:16 left and 23rd-ranked Iowa held off Purdue 26-20 on Saturday, snapping a two-game losing streak. Tyler Goodson scored his first career touchdown from a yard out and Keith Duncan kicked four field goals for the Hawkeyes (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten), who also broke a two-game skid against the Boilermakers (2-5, 1-3).

Purdue made the Hawkeyes earn this one, though. The Boilermakers cut it to 19-13 on J.D. Dellinger’s 36-yard field goal with 2:59 left. But Purdue was assessed a personal foul after squibbing the ensuing kickoff to midfield, and runs of 21 and 14 yards by Sargent gave the Hawkeyes the cushion they’d been looking for all day. Jack Plummer’s 1-yard TD pass to Payne Durham with 24 seconds left made it 26-20. But Iowa secured the onside kick.

David Bell caught 13 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown for Purdue, which ran for just 33 yards. Duncan hit field goals of 30, 44, 42 and 38 yards on a wet afternoon in Iowa City. He’s now 17 of 19 on the season.
THE TAKEAWAY
Iowa: The Hawkeyes’ defense is one of the best in school history. Iowa’s offense is another story. The Hawkeyes’ attack is alarmingly inconsistent, and it’s keeping Iowa from reaching its full potential. It could get even worse, as receiver Brandon Smith was carried off by his teammates in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a right leg injury. Smith headed to the locker room on crutches after catching nine balls for 106 yards.
Purdue: The Boilermakers might have pulled off the upset if not for two first-half turnovers deep in Iowa territory. Purdue likely won’t make a bowl in 2019, but the prospect of star Rondale Moore and Bell playing together should frighten Big Ten West defensive coordinators. Plummer wasn’t bad either, finishing 30 of 50 for 327 yards.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Iowa might struggle to maintain its place in Sunday’s Top 25.
UP NEXT
Iowa visits Northwestern on Oct. 26. The Wildcats were drubbed by No. 4 Ohio State 52-3 on Friday.

Purdy, Iowa State keep rolling in 34-24 win over Texas Tech

Sports

October 19th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Brock Purdy threw for 378 yards and three touchdowns, freshman Breece Hall ran 75 yards for the first of his two scores and Iowa State took a big lead early in a 34-24 victory against Texas Tech on Saturday. Purdy had 277 yards and all three of his scoring tosses for a 20-0 lead early in the second quarter, with two TDs to tight end Charlie Kolar, as the Cyclones (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) won their third straight game since losing at Baylor in their only other scheduled trip to Texas.

The Red Raiders (3-4, 1-3) extended their longest losing streak in the series with Iowa State to four, dropping their second in a row this season since beating Oklahoma State for the best victory so far under first-year coach Matt Wells.
THE TAKEAWAY
Iowa State: The game played out in an eerily similar way to the Cyclones’ loss at Baylor. But the teams were reversed. This time Iowa State went up 20-0 instead of falling behind by the same score, then let Texas Tech back in the game the same way Baylor gave the Cyclones a chance three weeks ago. But Tech never got closer than 10.
UP NEXT
Iowa State: Oklahoma State at home next Saturday.

Man found guilty in 2017 Davenport robbery shooting death

News

October 19th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — The last of the five people charged in a man’s fatal 2017 shooting during a Davenport robbery has been found guilty. The Quad-City Times reports that a jury on Friday found 36-year-old Christopher Dixon guilty of first-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit a forcible felony in the Sept. 22, 2017, shooting that killed 20-year-old Brady Tumlinson and injured Tumlinson’s girlfriend.
Dixon faces a mandatory term of life in prison when he’s sentenced Nov. 27.

Two other men, 23-year-old Tristin Alderman and 22-year-old D’marithe Culbreath, were sentenced to life earlier this year. In December, 23-year-old Nakita Wiseman was sentenced to 35 years for his role. Last month, 20-year-old Darrell Williams was sentenced to 25 years.

Police say the men conspired to rob Tumlinson of drugs and money at the time of the shooting.

Corps: No more Dakota Access Pipeline study needed

News

October 19th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An attorney for the Army Corps of Engineers is asking a judge to sign off on the Corps’ conclusion that the Dakota Access oil pipeline doesn’t harm American Indian tribes. The Corps wants U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to rule in favor of its August 2018 finding that no more environmental study is needed on the $3.8 billion pipeline. The pipeline has been moving North Dakota oil through South Dakota and Iowa to Illinois for more than two years.

The Standing Rock Sioux want the pipeline shut down and more study done. The tribe fears an oil spill could contaminate the Missouri River. The Bismarck Tribune reports that a Justice Department attorney argues that the Corps “carefully and reasonably considered the environmental impacts” before it permitted the pipeline.

Pipeline developer Texas-based Energy Transfer says the line is safe.

Iowa puppy mill operator found guilty of animal neglect

News

October 19th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

NORTHWOOD, Iowa (AP) — The owner of a northern Iowa dog breeding operation has been found been guilty of animal neglect. The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that 66-year-old Barbara Kavars, of Manly, was found guilty Friday of 14 counts of misdemeanor animal neglect in connection with the operation of a puppy mill.

Prosecutors say Kavars was holding Samoyed dogs in inhumane conditions when officials raided her operation on Nov. 12 and took about 150 dogs. Court records say 17 dogs had fur matted by feces, skin conditions leading to fur loss, painful wounds, intestinal parasites and other maladies. One dog had to be euthanized.

Officials say the dogs’ kennels lacked food and had water containers filled with ice. Kavars denied wrongdoing and testified she fed and gave water to the dogs every day.
