May 21st, 2011 by Ric Hanson

Several Denison High School seniors will graduate on Sunday as planned, despite being ticketed Tuesday night for allegedly consuming alcohol at a farm in rural Crawford County. The Sheriff’s Department said Friday deputies cited 33 people on suspicion of being Minors in Possession of Alcohol. In all, about 40 people, including some adults attended the party, following the last day of classes for the graduating Seniors. Sheriff James Steinkuehler says his office received an anonymous call late Tuesday night, about an underage party at a farm northwest of Denison.

Denison Community Schools Superintendent Mike Pardun said a number of those ticketed were graduating seniors, but would not say how many. Not all those who were ticketed were seniors. Pardun said since the party “Has nothing to do with their diplomas,” the seniors will be allowed to graduate, but those students who are still in school and participating in extracurricular activities could face sanctions, the punishment for which would vary, depending on what activities a student is involved in and if they have been cited before.

For those not involved in extracurricular activities, Pardun said, it was mostly an issue between the student and the legal system. Sheriff Steinkuehler said authorities are still looking at, among other things, which adults may have facilitated the party.

Graduation in Denison is scheduled for Sunday, at the high school gymnasium.

Property owners and residents in 7 Counties asked to search for Missing Carroll woman

News

May 20th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

Dawn Allen - Missing since May 4th, 2011

Carroll Police Chief Jeff Caylor said today (Friday), while there are no new leads in the disappearance of Carroll resident Dawn Allen, individuals from seven counties, representing law enforcement, county conservation, fire departments, as well as representatives of the Iowa Department of Transportation and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation continue to work together to try and find the woman.

Caylor says a briefing was held this (Friday) morning to discuss various search strategies in locating Allen, who has been missing since May 4th. The last person known to have had any communication with her, 54-year old James Snovelle, committed suicide May 9th in Kansas, as authorities closed in on him. Snovelle was not a suspect in her disappearance, but he was wanted for questioning. His death left authorities with more questions than answers.

In addition to the efforts of some specific agencies, Caylor says assistance will also be sought from fire departments, first responders and other volunteers within their jurisdictions.  The Carroll Police Department and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation is also requesting the continued cooperation and assistance from the general public throughout the western half of the state, but especially within the following jurisdictions:

Carroll County
Sac County
Greene County
Guthrie County
Calhoun County
Pocahontas County
Palo Alto County

Law enforcement is requesting that individuals check out buildings, ditches, waterways, wooded areas and any other areas on their property and/or any other public access areas where someone may have hidden or disposed of evidence involving this missing person case.

Anyone finding such evidence or who may have other information about this case should contact their local law enforcement agency, or may also contact the Carroll Police Department 712-792-3536.

Noise complaint leads to nine drug-related arrests in Red Oak

News

May 20th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

A complaint about noise from a residence in Red Oak early this (Friday) morning, led to the arrest on nine people on drug charges. Red Oak Police report when officers went to speak with the owner of the residence where the noise allegedly came from, a strong smell of marijuana wafted through the air when the front door was opened.
The smell gave authorities probable cause to search the home, and when a search warrant was executed, 40-grams of what a substance suspected to be methamphetamine, as well as a small amount of marijuana, were confiscated as evidence.
Taken into custody on charges of Gathering where a Controlled Substance is used, possessed and/or sponsored, were the following individuals: 31-year-old Peggy Sue Gurney, 26-year-old Natosha Myree Cralley, 23-year-old Amber Rose Pearson, 22-year-old James Dean Inman, and 28-year-old Bradley Edward Williams, all of Red Oak.
Red Oak Police also arrested 20-year-old Michelle Lynn Kaska of Lyman, 41-year-old Dennis Lee Binns of Imogene, and 28-year-old George Allen Westbrook of Villisca.
32-year-old Jonathon Wayne Ray, of Red Oak, was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, 2nd offense, as well as G-C-S, a drug tax stamp violation, and possession with intent to deliver over five grams.

All 9 suspects were brought to the Montgomery County Jail, where, with the exception of Ray, were being held on $5,000 bond each. Authorities say Ray was being held on $100,000 bond.

Atlantic man sentenced to 12.5 years on meth charge

News

May 20th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

Steven Jon Erlacher

The U-S Attorney’s office for the southern district of Iowa reports an Atlantic man was sentenced Thursday to more than 12 and one-half years in prison for conspiracy to distribute Methamphetamine. In addition to the 151 month jail sentence, U-S District Court Judge John A. Jarvey also ordered 57-year old Steven Jon Erlacher, of Atlantic, to serve a four year term of supervised release following his incarceration.

On February 3rd, 2011, Erhlacher entered a guilty plea in federal court in Council Bluffs, Iowa, for violating Title 21, United States Code, Section 846, by conspiring to deliver 50 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine, between May of 2010 to July 6, 2010.

On July 6th, 2010, a residence in Atlantic was searched by a probation officer with the State of Iowa Fourth Judicial District Probation and Parole, with assistance from local law enforcement. During the search, Erhlacher was found to have a container with thirty small baggies containing methamphetamine and a large amount of United States currency.

An investigation by local law enforcement determined that Erhalcher had been delivering personal use amounts of methamphetamine to various places in and around Atlantic.

The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa. The investigation was conducted by the Cass County Sheriff’s Office, Atlantic Police Department, Department of Corrections-Probation and Parole, the Cass County Attorney’s Office and Iowa Division of Narcotic Enforcement.
