MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (AP) — The adoptive grandmother of a central Iowa teenager who starved to death faces new charges of trying to escape prison. Station KCCI reports that 64-year-old Carla Bousman was in court Thursday morning to face a charge of escape. The Iowa Department of Corrections says Bousman walked away from the Iowa Correctional Institution for Women in Mitchellville in early May and was caught about half-a-mile away.

DURANT, Iowa (AP) — The sheriff of an eastern Iowa county has declared that his jail will no longer book suspects arrested in one town because he doesn’t trust the officers who work there. Cedar County Sheriff Warren Wethington issued the directive last month, which applies to anyone arrested by the Durant Police Department. Wethington says one of Durant’s three officers has a history of being untruthful and using questionable force and the chief knows this but hired him anyway.
