DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Police in Des Moines say they’ve arrested three teens suspected in a spate of robberies carried out after the victims agreed to meet up with people they met online. Police say they noted several similarities in a rash of robberies reported between Feb. 7 and Feb. 13 and were soon able to identify suspects. On Friday, detectives executed search warrants at two Des Moines residences, and police say evidence connected to the robberies was recovered. Police say three suspects were then arrested at a local high school. Police say two 16-year-old boys and a 17-year-old boy have been charged with robbery.
ROCK PORT, Mo. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Omaha District says work crews have closed the final breach of a Missouri River levee in the far northwest corner of Missouri that broke open during massive flooding last year. The break just southwest of Rock Port was one of several along the levee section that saw thousands of rural acres submerged and a section of Interstate 29 and other roads in the region damaged and closed to traffic. The Corps says crews will continue restoring the levee section to its pre-flood height. Crews have been scrambling to make repairs ahead of spring and the likelihood of renewed flooding along the river in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Democratic Party is agreeing to recount the tallies in about two dozen of more than 1,600 precincts as part of the ongoing process to resolve the weeks-long question of who won Iowa’s tarnished presidential caucuses. Campaign officials for former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders asked for a combined 23 precincts to be recounted after the state party invited campaigns to request recounts in light of results of a recanvass which showed Buttigieg finishing a tiny fraction of a percentage point ahead of Sanders in the delegate equivalency.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Jack Flaherty is getting the ball on opening day for the St. Louis Cardinals. St. Louis manager Mike Shildt says the 24-year-old Flaherty will start the season opener March 26 at Cincinnati. It will be the right-hander’s first opening day start and comes after he finished fourth in NL Cy Young Award voting with a closing surge last season. Flaherty pitched the home opener for the Cardinals last year. Shildt gave Flaherty the news on Friday, not a surprise after Flaherty went 11-8 with a 2.75 ERA last season. Seven of those wins came after the All-Star break, when he posted a 0.91 ERA.
The second house fire in a week to affect a residence near Villisca took place late Friday night, south of Villisca. According to reports, a home at 1372 Highway 71 was engulfed in flames by the time firefighters arrived a short time after 10:40-p.m.
Water tanker trucks from Clarinda and Stanton were called to assist crews from Villisca, with several trips being made between the department to keep the tankers filled. Highway 71 was closed to traffics in the area so those trucks could make it to the scene unencumbered. Also on the scene were the Red Oak and Villisca’s EMS units, Montgomery and Page County Sheriff’s Deputies, officials with the Rural Water District, and MidAmerican Energy.
The home was a complete loss. No injuries were reported. Firefighters were at the scene for about three-hours and 15-minutes, with activities wrapped-up by around 2-a.m., Saturday. A cause of the fire had not been determined as of the latest report. The State Fire Marshall’s Office was contacted to complete the investigation.
You may recall, that at around 8:15-p.m. on February 14th, Villisca Fire & Rescue were paged to 3269 260th Street, also for a working residential structure fire. No injuries were reported with that blaze, which remains under investigation.
