FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) — The trial of an Indiana man accused of killing a Fort Dodge woman has been relocated again and rescheduled. The Messenger reports that 26-year-old Phillip Williams, of Lafayette, Indiana, was scheduled to start trial Monday in Mason City, where the trial had been moved because of pretrial publicity in Fort Dodge. He and Mackenzie Knigge are accused of killing 26-year-old Jessica Gomez in August 2017.

Williams’ attorney, Katherine Flickinger, objected to the lack of black people in the Mason City jury pool, saying that just one person out of 130 potential jurors was self-identified as black. Flickinger told the judge that Williams “has a legitimate interest in the representation of African-Americans on the jury panel,” and she asked that the trial be moved to a county with a higher black population.

On Wednesday the judge moved the trial to Cedar Rapids in Linn County and scheduled it to start March 25. Knigge also has pleaded not guilty. She’s scheduled to begin trial June 10.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A woman has been imprisoned for helping to kill a Des Moines man during a robbery more than two years ago. Polk County District Court records say 28-year-old Monica Fagan was given 35 years in prison at her sentencing Tuesday. She’d pleaded guilty to robbery and willful injury. Prosecutors dropped a murder charge in exchange for her pleas.

Prosecutors say Fagan and two other people killed 31-year-old Michael Huckleberry at his apartment in January 2017. One of them, 51-year-old Ricky Hascall , died in jail Sept. 16 last year while awaiting trial. The other, Sarah Saltz, pleaded guilty to robbery and theft for her role in the slaying and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

The Creston Police Department reports the arrest at the Union County Law Enforcement Center (LEC), of 50-year old Brian Eugene Ward. The Creston man was arrested Thursday morning, on a Union County warrant for Failure to Appear (in court). He was later released on a $2,000 bond.

Sheriff’s officials in Pottawattamie County, Thursday, reported that 30-year old Angie Marie Lybarger, of Council Bluffs, was arrested Wednesday. Lybarger was taken into custody at the Pott. County Courthouse, on a Harrison County warrant for Violation of Probation. She was being held on the warrant pending transfer to Harrison County. And, Kimberly Sue Trotter, who was being held in the Pott. County Jail for a Residential Correctional Facility (RCF), was served with a warrant Wednesday, for Violation of Probation. She was then returned to the custody of Corrections Staff.
