DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Department of Corrections tells The Associated Press that about 80 inmates at a maximum security prison could face disciplinary action in connection to a large fight this month. That’s a far greater number of people than the state corrections department has publicly said were directly involved in the July 1 melee at the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison. The estimate could add weight to union claims that the state agency previously has downplayed the fight.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Republican Sen. Rick Bertrand has called on Senate Majority Leader Bill Dix to resign following the conclusion of a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former legislative aide. Bertrand said Wednesday that Dix should resign after a jury awarded $2.2 million to Kirsten Anderson, a former Iowa Senate Republican caucus aide. The jury determined she was fired in 2013 after she reported rampant sexual harassment in the caucus office. A spokesman for Dix says the senator has no comment.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Law enforcement officials in central Iowa are warning of a familiar phone scam. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office tells KCCI that people are receiving telephone calls claiming to be from the sheriff’s office. The caller tells recipients there is a signed a warrant for their arrest for not showing up for jury duty. Victims are then told to retrieve a large amount of cash and follow further instructions to avoid being arrested.

ZWINGLE, Iowa (AP) — Officials say one person has been badly injured in a northeast Iowa house fire. The Telegraph Herald reports that the fire broke out early Wednesday morning and destroyed the home in Zwingle. La Motte Fire Chief Joe Kilburg says a man, who was the only person in the home at the time, was flown to an Iowa City hospital. He remained in the hospital’s burn unit Wednesday afternoon. The man’s name has not been released.

Atlantic Fire and Rescue along with Medivac Ambulance, responded to a reported rollover accident early this morning off the Olive Street exit  from westbound I-80. Crews were dispatched at around 1:45-a.m. The vehicle was said to have been on fire and on its side.

There was no immediate word on injuries. No other details were available (as of 2:15-a.m.). Please check back for updates.

An Iowa Army Veteran is hoping to spread the word about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by running across the state of Iowa. During the run in September, Joshua Jorgensen will be wearing a military-issued gas mask. He told KCRG-TV that the mask represents the struggle many veterans face on a daily basis.

“It says I’m struggling with those same things, but I’m getting up every day and I’m doing this. I’m putting myself in an even bigger struggle, because I know there’s an end and I can make it through it so, so can you,” Jorgensen said.

Jorgenson is part of Team Fidelis, a nationwide group working to end the epidemic of veteran suicide. Jorgensen, who lives in Adel, just west of Des Moines, has been training for the past six months for the September run, a total of 330 miles. He is hoping to complete the run in ten days or less, running over 30 miles a day — starting in Council Bluffs and ending in Burlington.
