The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports two men were arrested Friday on unrelated charges..
On Friday evening at about 7:15, Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 20-year-old Christopher L Young of Glenwood on a warrant charging him with probation violation. He was transported from the Pottawattamie County Jail to the Montgomery County Jail and is being held in lieu of $20,000 bond.
Also Friday evening at about 10:40, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports two deputies observed a man walking north on Highway 71 at High Street in Villisca. When 30-year-old Randy Buck Evans Jr of Red Oak saw the deputies he fled into traffic on Highway 71 where he was nearly hit by a truck. There was a brief foot pursuit through a cornfield before Evans was apprehended. Evans faces charges of interference with official acts and possession of a controlled substance meth. He is being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $1,000 bond.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – During a summer of drought, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says Iowa’s corn crop likely will plunge 19 percent below last year’s production. A USDA report released today says the yield is forecast at 141 bushels an acre, which would be the lowest figure since 1997. Soybean production is forecast at 406 million bushels, which would be nearly 13 percent under last year’s figure.
JEWELL, Iowa (AP) – A central Iowa firefighter injured while battling flames in a house has been hospitalized in Iowa City. Des Moines television station KCCI reports that Robert Hagen fell into the house basement on Thursday and debris fell on top of him. A passer-by in the central Iowa town of Jewell reported the fire around 12:30 p.m. Hagen was taken to hospitals in Ames and Des Moines before being transferred to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City.
MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) – A 27-year-old Burlington woman has pleaded guilty to a theft charge and been sentenced to up to ten years in prison. The Muscatine Journal reports that Barbara Meaderds had made a deal with prosecutors. They dropped forgery and other charges in exchange for her plea on Thursday.
HINTON, Iowa (AP) – An Iowa construction company has been sued over an explosion of natural gas that followed a pipeline rupture in northwest Iowa. The Sioux City Journal reports that the lawsuit was filed by the pipeline owner, Northern Natural Gas Company of Omaha, Nebraska against DeRocher Construction of Le Mars.
MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) – The Department of Natural Resources says the release of orange, iron-laden cooling water has killed an unknown number of fish in Mason City. The agency reports today that the water came from a Golden Grain plant, where investigators determined too much sulfuric acid was added to a cooling system. The DNR couldn’t count how many fish were killed because the water remained so discolored.
BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) – Authorities are investigating the death of a 33-year-old woman who was found in an eastern Iowa home. Police identified the woman today as Crystal Newman. Officers were called to a domestic dispute at the Burlington residence around 2 a.m. yesterday.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Roy Halladay pitched eight innings and Chase Utley hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the eighth to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night.
It was the second straight outstanding outing for Halladay (6-6), who missed 42 games while on the disabled list with a strained lat. He returned July 17 and struggled in his first three starts back, going 0-1 with a 5.82 ERA. He threw seven innings in a 3-0 victory over Arizona on Saturday.
The right-hander matched a season low by allowing just two hits, while striking out eight and walking none. He didn’t allow a hit after Jon Jay’s two-out single in the third, retiring 16 of his final 17 batters. The only hitter to reach base was Yadier Molina, who got to first after being hit on the left elbow leading off the fifth.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jamaal Charles took a solid hit to the left knee on his very first carry, then bounced right up and helped the Kansas City Chiefs score touchdowns on their first two possessions en route to a 27-17 preseason victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Friday night. Charles, the NFL’s second-leading rusher in 2010, had 12 yards on three carries and caught one pass for 11 yards in his first action since ACL surgery on the left knee last September. Two other key starters who also sat out last season with ACL surgery — safety Eric Berry and tight end Tony Moeaki — also played with no apparent problem, a huge relief for fans and coaches. For the second straight game, the defense for Arizona (tied No. 23 in the AP Pro 32) yielded a touchdown on the opening drive, with Matt Cassel hitting Peyton Hillis on a 12-yard scoring strike to open the game. In their second possession, the Chiefs (No. 18) romped 72 yards in just four plays, capped by Shaun Draughn’s 4-yard run.

Three people were injured during a collision between a van and a truck this (Friday) afternoon, in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol says two Harrisburg, South Dakota residents were transported by Neola Rescue to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs, following the crash on Interstate 80 eastbound, near Minden. Officials say a Ford Van driven by 46-year old Kimberly Martens, of Harrisburg, was in the right lane and merged to the left lane to pass emergency vehicles which were putting out a grass fire. When the vehicles in front of her began to slow down, a 2003 Ford truck, driven by 36-year old Dennis Mohr, Jr., of Carroll, ran into the back of the van. Both drivers were able to move their vehicles to the right shoulder after the impact. Mohr was injured in the mishap but refused transport to the hospital. Officials say he was not wearing a seat belt. Martens, and her passenger, 17-year old Babbi Martens, were wearing their seat belts, but required transportation to Mercy for treatment of their injuries. The accident happened at around 1:10-p.m.
