Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:35 a.m. CDT

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds was taken to a hospital after experiencing chest pains but has returned to work at the Capitol. The governor’s office released a statement saying Reynolds noticed chest pains early Thursday and was taken to a hospital emergency room “out of an abundance of caution.” A doctor checked Reynolds and she was given blood tests, a chest X-ray and an electrocardiogram test. After all the tests came back normal, the governor was released.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Beto O’Rourke alienated a lot of women mere hours into his presidential run, releasing an announcement video in which his wife sat wordlessly by his side and joking repeatedly about her raising the couple’s three young children “sometimes with my help.” O’Rourke’s wife, Amy, is now joining the former Texas congressman in make-or-break Iowa starting Friday, as he looks to jump-start a once-surging White House campaign whose momentum has stalled. The two could have their work cut out for them.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An open government group has filed a lawsuit seeking to force Polk County to release recordings and additional information about the fatal shooting of a motorist from Wisconsin. The lawsuit filed by the Iowa Freedom of Information Council contends that the county has refused to explain why a deputy stopped 25-year-old Isaiah Hayes outside of Des Moines last July. It says the county has not clarified whether Hayes was armed when he was killed and how many shots were fired at him.

DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — An eastern Iowa police captain is accusing her police chief and the city she serves of discrimination. The Telegraph Herald reports that Dubuque police Capt. Abby Simon filed a lawsuit Tuesday alleging her rights have been violated under Iowa’s Civil Rights Act. Simon is also suing for harassment and retaliation. The 20-year police veteran’s lawsuit says she was passed over for promotions, even though she scored better in tests and interviews than the men who got the jobs.

(Corrected to show which vehicle hit which – apologies for the confusion) A woman who admitted to being on her cell phone caused a non-injury accident Thursday afternoon, in Creston. Authorities say a 2017 GMC Acadia driven by 80-year old Barbara Jo Crittenden, of Creston, was struck in the rear by a 2012 Chevy Cruze driven by 21-year old Paige Abagail Marken, of Creston. 

The GMC was stopped at the red light intersection with New York Avenue at around 1:05-p.m., when it was hit from behind by Marken’s vehicle. Damage from the collision amounted to $5,600. Marken was cited for Use of Communication Device. Her car was totaled in the collision and towed from the scene.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An open government group has filed a lawsuit seeking to force Polk County to release recordings and additional information about the fatal shooting of a motorist from Wisconsin.

The lawsuit filed by the Iowa Freedom of Information Council contends that the county has refused to explain why a deputy stopped 25-year-old Isaiah Hayes outside of Des Moines last July. It says the county has not clarified whether Hayes was armed when he was killed and how many shots were fired at him.

A grand jury declined to pursue charges against the deputy, Ryan Phillips, who has returned to work. The county says he acted appropriately but has refused to release recordings and information about the shooting, including dash camera video and audio. The county says those are “investigative reports” that can be withheld from the public indefinitely.

The sheriff’s office has said Phillips saw Hayes exit the stolen car he was driving and flee on foot. Phillips reported Hayes had a weapon and that he fired at Hayes when he refused orders to drop it. Investigators have refused to say, however, whether any weapon was found.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald has returned more than $12,000 to the American Red Cross — one of thousands to see unclaimed property held by the state turned over to rightful owners. Fitzgerald presented a check for $12,300 Thursday to the humanitarian assistance group.

Fitzgerald’s office says more than $377 million in unclaimed property in Iowa is waiting to be claimed. That included more than $61 million in Polk County alone.

The program has returned over $263 million to more than 592,000 people since Fitzgerald started the program in 1983. Unclaimed property refers to money and other assets held by financial institutions or companies that have lost contact with the property’s owner. State law requires them to annually report unclaimed property to the state treasurer’s office.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds was taken to a hospital after experiencing chest pains but has returned to work at the Capitol.

A doctor checked Reynolds and she was given blood tests, a chest X-ray and an electrocardiogram test, which is commonly used to evaluate the heart. After all the tests came back normal, the governor was released.
