Central Iowa man faces fines for killing six trumpeter swans

Ag/Outdoor, News

December 9th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — A central Iowa man may face stiff fines after killing six trumpeter swans. Acting on a tip, the Iowa DNR sent a conservation officer to Paul Errington Marsh, near Ankeny, on Friday where the officer witnessed a man shooting a trumpeter swan. As the officer approached, the man shot a second swan and had several others dead nearby. The DNR says 28-year-old Loai Abdulal, of Ankeny, says he mistook the swans for geese. Abdulal’s shotgun was seized and if convicted, he’ll face a $1,500 civil penalty for each of the six birds.

Officials in Marion are moving forward with plans to build a new city library with public funding. The Gazette reports that city council members authorized city staff Thursday to work with a bond lawyer and start a public notice process for issuing up to $7 million in debt to help finance the project. Advocates say the expanded space is badly needed to meet growing demand. The city’s action comes after years of debate and false starts.
