News

January 17th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – This year’s inductees into the Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame are being announced for what will be the organization’s 25th anniversary year. Executive director Clay Norris says one of the individual inductees will be the late Tommy Bolin, a Sioux City native, who was a guitarist and songwriter for bands including Deep Purple, The James Gang and Zephyr.

“He has not been inducted to date,” Norris says. “He had been through a band, but it is wonderful to finally give him the notoriety that he deserves from his career, and then also, his brother, Johnny, is being inducted the same year.” Norris says another Iowa artist who’s being honored with the association’s Spirit Award this year is 24-year-old singer Maddie Poppe from Clarksville.

“Maddie is one of these up and coming stars that has already reached national notoriety as being the American Idol champion in 2018,” Norris says. “What a wonderful young lady and a great ambassador for the state of Iowa and just music in general.”

The induction ceremony weekend at Arnolds Park is September 1st through the 4th. There will be an opening ceremony, the guitar marching band, an autograph party, Iowa Rocks Talent Contest and Inductee Meet and Greet. The Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Induction Ceremony and Concert will be on September 4 at the Roof Garden.

Traffic stop leads to pursuit & 2 arrests in Fremont County

News

January 17th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

A traffic stop on a vehicle that was allegedly speeding in Fremont County last week, escalated into a pursuit, and resulted in two arrests. According to the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, on Jan. 12th, deputies attempted to stop a 2021 Volkswagen Jetta for speeding on Highway 2, east of Sidney. The vehicle failed to stop and at times accelerated to 116 mph.

The vehicle traveled for approximately five miles until it stopped near Farragut, and the occupants switched drivers.  The initial driver, 30-year-old Jacob Morton, of Ablemarle, North Carolina, initially gave a fraudulent name to law enforcement and later found to have an active warrant for his arrest out of North Carolina.

Morton was charged with: Reckless Driving; Eluding; Providing False Information; Fugitive from Justice; Possession of Controlled Substances (meth); and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (meth).  The second driver, 58-year-old Jeanna Dockter, of Sidney, Iowa was arrested for: Possession of Controlled Substances (meth), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Morton was being held without bond pending charges in both Iowa and North Carolina. Dockter was released without posting bond by the Fremont County Magistrate.

A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
