Mapleton woman ordered to serve jail time in NE

News

January 20th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

A judge in Hall County, NE has ordered a western Iowa woman to appear in Grand Island by no later than 5-p.m. next Wednesday, to serve 120 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation after having been convicted on felony charges of animal neglect. 49-year old Denise Withee, of Mapleton (IA), was convicted in July 2009 for her role in the dumping of 20 dead and three dying dogs in a cornfield near Grand Island during the summer of 2008.

During her trial, Withee claimed she was taking the dogs to someone in Nebraska, when she became sick. She said she pulled over and passed out. When she awoke, Withee says most of the dogs were dead from the heat.

After her conviction in 2009, Withee was sentenced to four-years of probation and ordered not to possess or reside with any animal for five-years. But last week, Sheriff’s deputies in Monona County (IA) who were checking-up on Withee, found 13 dogs at the home she shares with her mother. Both women were cited for suspicion of animal cruelty. The presence of those animals in her home violated the terms of Withee’s Nebraska probation.

Sports

January 20th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says the Hawkeyes are getting some much needed rest. The Hawks fell to 3-4 in the Big Ten with a Tuesday night loss at Purdue and don’t return to action until next Thursday against Nebraska. McCaffery says the time off will allow the Hawkeyes to concentrate on the practice floor. The last couple of weeks have been a roller coaster ride for the Hawks but McCaffery says he has not been able to see the bad performances coming. Iowa is 11-9 overall.
