CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — A second man has been charged in the stabbing death of an Iowa man whose body was found months after his disappearance in December 2018.
The Linn County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that Drew Wagner turned himself in Friday and is charged with first-degree murder and other counts in the death of Christopher Bagley. Wagner is being held on $1 million bond.
The charge came a day after Drew Blahnik also was charged with first-degree murder in Bagley’s death.
Investigators testified earlier this year that Blahnik confessed to fatally stabbing Bagley in retaliation for his robbery of a large-scale marijuana trafficker.
Bagley disappeared last December from his home in Walker, Iowa. Investigators found his body buried in the backyard of a Cedar Rapids residence in March.
UNDATED (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have activated backup quarterback Chad Henne (HEN’-ee) from injured reserve, giving them another option against the Minnesota Vikings if Patrick Mahomes is unable to play Sunday.
Mahomes dislocated his kneecap two weeks ago in Denver and is listed as questionable. He missed last week’s loss to Green Bay when veteran Matt Moore started in his place. If Mahomes misses another game, Moore would likely start with Henne the backup.
In other roster moves Saturday, the Chiefs waived rookie quarterback Kyle Shurmur, placed offensive tackle Greg Senat on injured reserve and promoted defensive tackle Joey Ivie to the 53-man roster.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Salvation Army’s annual Tree of Lights campaign is set to get underway in the Omaha area next week with the annual lighting of metal Christmas trees in front of American National Bank branches in central Omaha and in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
In Omaha, hundreds are expected to gather Nov. 8 for the lighting of a 75-foot tall, two-ton metal tree with more than 60,000 LED lights and 600 lit snowflakes, topped by a 6-foot star. The event features live music, food, reindeer and other Christmas-themed offerings
Across the Missouri River, the Salvation Army will also light a Christmas tree atop the American National Bank branch in Council Bluffs and serve refreshments. The lighting ceremonies kick off the Salvation Army’s red kettle bell-ringing drive.
The money collected during the six-week campaign supports food pantries, housing, utility assistance and other services.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced the removal of four Superfund sites in Nebraska and Iowa from their national priorities list. The Iowa sites removed include the Electro-Coatings Inc. Site in Cedar Rapids, where groundwater was contaminated with chemicals from a chrome, nickel, and zinc plating operation, and the Shaw Avenue Dump Site in Charles City, where groundwater was contaminated with arsenic and other toxins from a municipal dump operated in the 40s and 50s.
The removed sites include the Omaha Lead Site in Omaha, which initially included some 14,000 properties in eastern Omaha with high lead levels, and the Cleburn Street Well Site in Grand Island, where groundwater was contaminated by hazardous chemicals from a dry-cleaning business.
The sites were among 11 others across the country removed from the priorities list.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa prosecutors say in court documents that a police raid of a Des Moines home earlier this year turned up drugs, guns and more than a dozen children in the care of an unregistered day care operation.
The Des Moines Register reports that police arrested two people in the case early Friday. Robert and Paula Mackey face multiple felony charges of child neglect and possession of drugs, as well as operating an unregistered day care.
Court documents say the search of the Mackeys’ home occurred in June, when police found more than 20 handguns and rifles, about three grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and 17 children. Iowa law restricts unregistered day care providers from caring for more than five children.
Police say they found guns and drugs within reach of children throughout the home.
