A man who allegedly stole a bottle of Old Spice body wash valued at about $4, was arrested Thursday night after he tried to run from a Sheriff’s Deputy. The Deputy responded at around 7:25-p.m. to the HyVee Drug Store on W. Broadway in Council Bluffs, after store employees reported an adult male was leaving the store with merchandise in his pockets that he did not pay for. The Deputy ordered the suspect, later identified as 25-year old Deion Jarell Fleming, to stop, when the man tried to run from the store. Fleming tripped and began to fall to the ground, as the Deputy grabbed him by the arm. The Deputy fell to the ground on top of Fleming, and placed him under arrest. After Fleming was escorted back to the store, the Deputy noticed the suspect suffered from a scraped left thumb. The Deputy applied a bandage for the injury.

Authorities say he was issued a ban and bar letter, prohibiting him from entering the store again. He was then transported to Pott. County Corrections and booked into the jail for Theft in the 5th Degree and Interference with Official Acts. And, a woman who was transported to the Pott. County Jail from the Douglas County, NE. jail, Thursday, was presented with a warrant Thursday, for being a Fugitive from Justice out of Sarpy County, NE. 30-year old Rebecca Sue Cardona had originally been brought to Pott. County, for Probation Violation.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The National Weather Service says several Iowa rivers have an increased risk of flooding this spring. The service said Thursday in the first of two planned Spring Flood and Water Resource Outlooks that the concerns include snowpack melting rates and high soil moisture. The report says the probability for flooding “is very high for at least minor flooding along the Mississippi River and most tributary rivers across eastern Iowa.”

It also says several waterways on the state’s western and eastern borders have a better than 50 percent chance at flooding and some have a better than 50 percent chance of major flooding. The service says a fast melt combined with heavy spring rains “could cause high-impact flooding, while a slow melt with little additional precipitation would cause flooding to be much less severe.” Missouri River flooding is expected along the state’s southwest border.

(Radio Iowa) — Waterloo’s Lowell Elementary School likely won’t be able to reopen until August after this week’s roof collapse. Beginning Tuesday, Lowell’s 400 students and staff will be relocated to the former Area Education Agency 267 Conference Center in Cedar Falls. Waterloo Schools Superintendent Jane Lindaman says the move is necessary after a segment of Lowell’s roof caved in under heavy snow Wednesday morning.

According to Lindaman, structural engineers and contractors who surveyed the damage at Lowell on Thursday determined that repairs will take months to complete. Repair and relocation costs have not been determined. A winter storm forced the cancellation of classes district-wide in Waterloo on Wednesday, so no one was in the classroom when the roof collapsed.
