It turns out four were people arrested and more than 470-pounds of marijuana with a combined street value of $1.13-million was seized during two separate traffic stops on Interstate 80 in Cass County, on Wednesday. Iowa State Patrol Sergeant Scott Bright confirms information provided to KJAN by the Cass County Sheriff’s Department, that two men from New Mexico and two from Connecticut were arrested. Earlier, Bright had said just one person was arrested.
28-year old Mario Carmono, and 33-year old Oscar Salinas-Olivas, both of Albuquerque, NM, were arrested soon after the vehicle they were in was pulled over for speeding on I-80, at around 10-a.m. Wednesday. Bright says an Iowa State Patrol Trooper stopped a vehicle traveling east on I-80. After talking with the driver, the Trooper believed criminal activity was underway. A search of the vehicle was conducted using a K-9 unit. After the dog alerted to the presence of narcotics in the vehicle, authorities located 363-pounds of marijuana.
Sgt. Bright says the pot, which was packaged in a “brick-style,” has an estimated street value in excess of $871,200. Bright said the driver told the Trooper he was enroute to Minnesota via I-80 and I-35. Carmono and Salinas-Olivas were arrested for Possession of a controlled substance/marijuana with the Intent to Deliver, Prohibited Acts, and failure to affix a drug tax stamp. Both men were brought to the Cass County Jail in Atlantic.
During the second traffic stop, 110-pounds of marijuana, valued at around $264,000, was seized. Officials say 20-year old Warren Thomas LaPorte, of Jewett City, CT, and 26-year old Richard Rose, of Chaplin, CT, were arrested on two felony counts each of Possession with the Intent to Deliver/Marijuana, two-counts of Drug Tax Stamp Violation, and one count each of Prohibited Acts.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – While state officials complete changes to Iowa’s mental health system, some who oversee county programs fear they must make drastic cuts during this transition period. The Legislature approved changes to Iowa’s system last May, shifting from a county-based system to a regional approach in which counties pool their money.
The new approach should minimize differences between urban and rural areas, but county officials say until the regional system is fully implemented in 2014, they may be able to reach fewer of the estimated 150,000 Iowa residents with mental health issues. That’s because before the redesign, counties used 50 percent of their budgets to provide the local match for Medicaid. Now that the state provides the local match to Medicaid, local governments see mental health as an area to reduce spending.
Iowa takes a 1-3 Big Ten mark into a match-up at home against Wisconsin, tonight (Saturday). The Badgers lead the Big Ten with a 4-0 record after a stunning victory at second ranked Indiana but Iowa coach Fran McCaffery is not surprised by the Badgers early success. He says with Wisconsin, “It almost doesn’t matter who’s there. It’s a system in-place, a mentality that they have, that are going to compete, they’re going to play well. They have guys that can shoot, defend and execute.” McCaffery says “They’re going to be hard to beat.”
Iowa officials will honor the 20th anniversary of the death of former Hawkeye Chris Street at Saturday’s game. McCaffery says Street’s legacy is still a big part of the program. He says there’s a golf outing and a foundation in Street’s name, and people still talk about him and how he played the game. McCaffrey says “It’s important that his legacy be remembered, and that the connection is maintained.” He thinks tonight’s game will be an emotional time for a lot of people.
Pre-game coverage of tonight’s game begins at 6 o’clock, here on KJAN.
