DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Demonstrators are demanding that Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds do more to stem the spread of the coronavirus as cases surge. More than a dozen of them gathered Friday in front of the Governor’s Terrace Hill mansion to deliver 800 report cards that gave her an “F” grade in COVID-19 mitigation and protecting Iowans.

Reynolds didn’t accept the cards directly, but an Iowa State Patrol officer said he would pass them along to her. The Des Moines Register reports that the demonstration was organized by Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, also known as Iowa CCI,

The Iowa State Patrol, Saturday, released information with regard to a fatal, single-vehicle accident in northwest Iowa’s Cherokee County. Authorities say a Cherokee County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to stop a 2005 Ford Mustang for reckless speeding on Highway 3 near Meriden, when the driver of the Mustang, 26-year-old Matthew James Williams, of Paulina, accelerated in an attempt to elude the deputy.

The car turned south onto County Road L-51/L Avenue and continued south at a high rate of speed, driving off the road surface several times. At around 10:26-p.m., the car went out of control and went off the west side of the road before crashing. Williams, who was not wearing a seat belt, was transported to the Cherokee Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

The Red Oak Police department reports a warrant was served on 28-year-old Tyler Blaine Baucom of Red Oak on a count of Violating a Protective Order. Baucom was already in jail on another count of Violating a Protective Order. Bond on the additional charge was set at $300.
