An investigation into the distribution of narcotics in Montgomery County resulted in the arrest Tuesday afternoon, of three people from Red Oak. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports 37-year-old Jessica Lynn Boyce and 41-year-old Brooke Rena Scott face charges that include three felony counts each, of delivery of methamphetamine. 51-year-old Jean Marie Noyes was charged two separate felony counts including delivery of methamphetamine, as well as possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver.
All three women were being held without bond in the Montgomery County Jail.
(Radio Iowa) – Secretary of State Paul Pate says his survey of county auditors indicates voter turn-out today (Tuesday) is pretty strong — and he says there’s no doubt Iowa will set a significant record for voter participation this year after the massive number of early ballots that were cast. “Most certainly with over 996,970 absentee ballots in as of yesterday — clearly we’ll be over a million on that side alone and then you haven’t seen a dip today as far as the turnout,” Pate says.
“Usually you have highs and lows. Early in the morning — a lot of voters, then it kind of dips and then you come back up for lunch, but it’s stayed consistent.” Pate says some of the best news he’s gotten today is that election officials in Iowa’s largest counties were able to tabulate all the absentee ballots that were delivered to the county auditors’ offices by the close of business Monday.
“Of course they have new ones that might be straggling in, but the big one, the big lift is pretty much all done in Scott County and Polk County,” Pate says. “And a lot of the other smaller counties have all reported all of theirs are counted as well.” None of those results will be announced until after the polls close at 9 p.m., but Pate says getting a million absentee ballots tabulated allays fears about delayed results.
“It takes away some of that concern people had about: ‘Will we have the results tonight?’ Well, clearly we will,” Pate says. “When you have the biggest counties that have already tabulated theirs, it’s a pretty good sign because in smaller counties, their lift is a little easier to attain and so I’m pretty confident they’ll all have their tallies done, so before 10 o’clock tonight, we’ll have those preliminary results.”
In 2012, one-million-589-thousand ballots were cast in the state, which is the current and, according to Pate, about to be broken voter turn-out record.
Officials with the Atlantic Police Department, Tuesday, issued a report on arrests that took pla0ce or citations that were issued, from Oct. 23rd to Nov. 2nd. Most recently, on November 2nd, 33-year old Tanya Duranceau, of Atlantic, was cited for Disorderly Conduct. And, on Sunday, 37-year old Zachary Frank, of Atlantic, was arrested for Domestic Abuse Assault 1st Offense and Obstruction of Communications.
Those arrested in late October included:
DES MOINES – Governor Kim Reynolds announced today (Tuesday), that she is allocating an additional $28 million in direct relief to Iowa’s hospitals and local county health departments to help manage increased needs due to COVID-19. The funding comes from the $1.25 billion in federal CARES Act funds allocated to the state.
“As COVID-19 continues to impact Iowans, it is putting strain on both staffing at our hospitals as well as local public health departments,” Gov. Reynolds said. “These added funds will provide much-needed relief to hospitals to support their staffing needs in this critical time. They will also support Iowa’s county health departments, which are facing continued and ongoing increases in workload.”
Of the direct relief announced today, $25 million will be allocated to hospitals to address staffing needs. The funds will be allocated prorated based on average hospital census over the months of September and October. An additional $3 million will be distributed to local county health departments based on a per capita basis.
“All across the northern United States, we are seeing a consistent uptick in new cases of COVID-19,” said Gov. Reynolds. “It’s especially important that Iowans take every precaution possible to slow the community spread of COVID-19, whether that means wearing a mask in public, social distancing or simply staying home. We all need to do our part to curb that spread.”
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Election officials were reporting plenty of in-person voting Tuesday even after receiving record numbers of early votes. Lines stretched down the block at the Epworth United Methodist Church in Council Bluffs, where voters were waiting up to two hours to cast ballots. Nearly a million people cast absentee ballots before Election Day, and it’s likely that more than half of the votes cast will have come before Tuesday.
Early voting has been gaining in popularity for years, and the movement was turbocharged this year by concerns about voting at polling places at a time when coronavirus cases continue to increase.
