In January, Greenfield Police Chief Austin O’Brien said there were at least three victims of alleged hazing by students on the wrestling team at the Nodaway Valley High School, in Greenfield. Feick and Schliessman, who were members of the high school wrestling team were arrested. Their arrests followed an investigation that began January 4th, after a parent of a Nodaway Valley wrestler reported her son was the possible victim of an assault in the high school’s wrestling room in mid December. Police then learned of two other potential victims, but their investigation was complicated by witnesses who initially refused to come forward and make a statement to investigators. O’Brien says the assaults were “sexual in nature” and were “directly related to some type of punishment toward the victims.”
REDFIELD, Iowa (AP) — A rural Redfield man is being treated for two gunshot wounds after an attempt to shoot a raccoon caught in a live trap backfired. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says 68-year-old Larry Godwin was using a 22-caliber handgun to shoot the caged raccoon at around 11 a.m. Saturday when the bullet ricocheted off the cage and struck him in the lower abdomen on the right side. He dropped the gun and it fired again, shooting him again in about the same spot. He was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines by private vehicle. The DNR says the injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
