Rain that transitioned to freezing rain over parts of western Iowa Thursday afternoon into early Friday morning, caused minor accidents and in at least one community, a power outage that lasted for more than 2-hours. The National Weather Service said this (Friday) morning, Rockwell City was without power after rain froze on power lines, which were then whipped by the winds and knocked down.
Late Thursday night in Menlo, social media reports indicated trees were cracking under the weight of one-quarter inch of ice, and power surges were being noticed. In Cass County, there were reports of at least three accidents, none of which resulted in injury, except to say that rescue was dispatched for man who was involved in an accident on I-80 near exit 54. The man was not injured, but was suffering from chest pain following the crash. Additional information is not currently available.
A Shenandoah Police Officer in the midst of a civil lawsuit, along with the Shenandoah Police Department and City of Shenandoah, resigned effective immediately, this past Wednesday. The Daily NonPareil says according to City Administrator Jim Davey, Officer Derek Baier, a member of the Shenandoah Police Department since December 2013, resigned because an investigation into a possible administrative policy violation was underway, and Baier chose to resign before that investigation was complete.
Baier will be eligible for unemployment, and it would be up to the city to approve or appeal that request. Davey said the process to find Baier’s replacement will begin soon.
The lawsuit involving Baier, the City of Shenandoah and its Police Department, is against Drew Bayless. In January 2014, the then 20-year-old Bayless was stopped by Baier for allegedly running a stop sign. Once Bayless stopped his vehicle, he alleges that he was thrown to the ground by Baier. Two weeks prior to the incident, Bayless had lumbar disc surgery. A second surgery was then needed to repair the damage done by Baier throwing him to the ground.
The date of Aug. 16, 2016, has been set for the start of the civil trial.
