IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Police say a 45-year-old man has been arrested after he allegedly intentionally drove a vehicle through a crowd of protesters in Iowa City. Michael Stepanek was charged Tuesday with intimidation with a dangerous weapon and willful injury. The protesters were struck Friday night in an intersection of an Iowa City street. No one was seriously hurt and police initially did not receive a report about the incident. Iowa City police say one of the people who was struck by the vehicle later provided a statement, leading to Stepanek’s arrest. A criminal complaint says Stepanek told police the protesters needed “an attitude adjustment.”
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Des Moines school district has sued the state, challenging a policy that forces districts to hold at least half of their educational programs in-person in classrooms unless their areas meet a high threshold of positive coronavirus cases. The lawsuit filed Tuesday by Iowa’s largest school district asks the court to reverse the state’s rejection of its plan to begin the school year with students at home and to prevent the state from forcing it to reopen schools “when it is unsafe to do so.” The court filing comes as the Ames school district announced Tuesday it would take similar legal action. Last week, the Iowa State Education Association and the Iowa City school district sued.
A Creston man died in an accident between a motorcyle and pickup on Tuesday evening. The Iowa State Patrol reports the accident happened at about 8:36 p.m. on High and Dry Road south of 250th street.
A 2013 Harley Davidson BCN driven by 44-year-old Richard W Starlin of Creston was traveling northbound on High and Dry Road and crested a hill. The motorcyle was traveling at a higher rate of speed than a 2005 Toyota Tacoma driven by 52-year-old Thaddeus M Sickels of Creston who was also northbound just over the crest of the hill. Starlin attempted to brake but struck the rear of the truck with the front fender of the motorcycle. The bike came skidding to a stop in the northbound lane. Sickels turned around to assist Starlin but he suffered fatal injuries from the crash.
Starlin was eventually transported to Powers Funeral Home by Creston EMS. Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A north-central Iowa man has been sentenced to federal prison for filing false tax returns. Federal prosecutors for Iowa say 52-year-old David Miller, of Gilmore City, was sentenced Monday to one year and a day in prison. Prosecutors say Miller ran a tax return preparing business. He pleaded guilty in February to receiving stolen government money or property.
During his plea hearing, Miller admitted to preparing fraudulent returns for clients and for himself over several years. Prosecutors say that as part of his plea, Miller agreed to pay $109,837 in restitution to victims and $16,114 to the IRS.
