News

May 7th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Des Moines, Iowa — A Des Moines man is at a loss after at least two thieves attached his trailer to their truck and took off. Steve Felton is a subcontractor and makes a living with that trailer. Felton said he’s out about $20,000. KCCI reports the trailer was filled with all of his tools and sat right outside his home. Video shows at least two people attached his trailer to their truck and left with it. Felton says several nearby business owners and homeowners also saw the truck driving off with his trailer.

Tools in the trailer ranged from all types and sizes, but there were a few that were special to Felton — like some owned by his father and grandfather. Felton is asking the thieves to bring his trailer and tools back. He’s even offering a $1,000 reward to them for the return of his  property.

The reward is also for anyone who provides tips leading to the return of his trailer and a conviction. Des Moines police confirm they are investigating the theft. If anyone has information relating to the trailer, contact police at 515-283-4811.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Redshirt sophomore Adam Mazur flirted with his second straight complete game shutout and the University of Iowa baseball team’s offense put up a five spot in the third inning en route to a 5-2 series-opening victory over Purdue on Friday at Duane Banks Field.

The win moves the Hawkeyes to 27-15 overall and 11-5 in Big Ten play.  Iowa has won seven straight series openers dating back to March 25.

Mazur tossed 8 2/3 shutout innings before giving up two runs with two outs in the top of the ninth.  The righthander retired 11 straight Boilermakers from the third through the sixth innings before surrendering a leadoff single in the seventh.

“I was pitching into the zone and letting them hit it,” said Mazur, who improves to 6-2 this season. “I know I have a lot of good help behind me.”

Iowa’s offense scored five runs – all in the third inning – and finished with 10 hits in the game.

Seven different Hawkeyes tallied a hit with Fullard leading the way with a 3-for-4 day with one RB
