DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — Federal prosecutors have filed a weapons charge against a Chicago man, so Iowa has dropped charges filed over the same shooting incident in Dubuque. The Telegraph Herald reports that Ricardo Sanchez already has pleaded not guilty to the federal charge: possession of a firearm by a drug user.
An Iowa prosecutor cited the federal case in asking a judge to dismiss state charges of theft, going armed with intent and intimidation with a dangerous weapon. Sanchez had pleaded not guilty to all three.
Police say Sanchez fired repeatedly into Club Rise in Dubuque about 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 27. The club was closed, but four employees were inside. None was hit.
Sanchez is a music promoter who police say had a dispute with Club Rise over payments for a concert.

Exira-EHK senior Sophia Peppers was named to the Class 1A All-Tournament Team on Saturday following the completion of the 1A Championship. Peppers averaged 18.5 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5.5 steals in her two tournament games against AGWSR and Springville.
Peppers ended her Spartan career having lost only 6 games and 1 conference game during her tenure. She will move on to play collegiate basketball at Morningside.
Springville’s Mikayla Nachazel was named captain of the All-Tournament Team for the 3rd straight year after Springville captured their 3rd straight title.
Other players named to the All-Tournament Team were Springville’s Rylee Menster, Megan Morenz and Olivia Larsen from Newell-Fonda, and Alli Masters from Central Decatur.
State champs and unbeaten to boot.
It’s been quite a season for Crestwood.
The top-ranked Cadets completed an impressive run through the Class 3A state tournament by beating No. 2 Sioux Center 73-48 to give the school its first title.
Crestwood did it behind the inside scoring of 6-foot-2 sophomore Sharon Goodman and some sharp perimeter shooting by Brynn Bodermann, who normally is not a big scorer.
Bodermann, who came in averaging 5.7 points, was left open at the 3-point line because Sioux Center concentrated on double-teaming Goodman on the low block and she took advantage of the opportunity. The 5-foot-6 senior went 6-for-9 from 3-point range, shot 9-for-14 overall and finished with 26 points.
Goodman scored 20 on 9-for-14 shooting and finished the tournament with 73 points. She was almost automatic when teammates got her the ball in the right spot and shot 76.7 percent in her three games at state, going 33-for-43.
Shannon Pisney added 16 points for the Cadets and the Friesen twins set their teammates up with some crisp passes.
Ellie Friesen just missed a triple double, getting nine points, nine rebounds and nine assists. She finished with a record 37 assists for the tournament, 10 more than the previous mark, and was voted captain of the all-tournament team.
Emily Friesen did not score but compiled 10 assists and eight rebounds. Crestwood shot 53 percent for the game, went 11-for-20 on 3-pointers and had assists on 22 of its 27 baskets.
The dominating victory followed wins by 38 and 24 points, leaving Crestwood with a pristine 26-0 record.
Crestwood was sharp from the beginning. The Cadets finished the first quarter with a 15-3 run for a 20-8 lead and Sioux Center, a very good team in its own right, never was able to get back into it.
Lexi Toering had 19 points and six rebounds to lead Sioux Center, which also was the state runner-up last year. Alyssa Mulder hit four 3-pointers and scored 14 for the Warriors, who finish 24-3.
Ellie Friesen was joined on the all-tournament team by Goodman, Pisney, Toering, Jaedon Murphy of North Polk and Taylor McDonald of Monticello.

How often is it said that defense wins championships?
Well, it definitely did for Cascade.
Cascade held Grundy Center without a field goal for 16 minutes in the middle of the game and beat the Spartans 41-37 to win the Class 2A state championship.
But it sure wasn’t easy.
Despite its struggles against Cascade’s tough zone, Grundy Center rallied from a 13-point deficit behind Hailey Wallis and tied the game at 37 when Wallis, the all-tournament captain, sank two free throws with 1:16 left.
Cascade’s Abby Welter broke the tie with a pair of free throws — her only points of the game — and the sixth-ranked Cougars made a last defensive stand.
Grundy Center forced a jump ball after missing a shot with 4 seconds left and inbounded from under its own basket. Cascade’s Anne Ryan, the only senior who started for either team, tipped the long inbounds pass, teammate Nicole McDermott grabbed it and was fouled. McDermott then sank two free throws to finish it off and the Cougars had their first title.
McDermott led Cascade with an impressive stat line — 15 points, nine rebounds, eight steals, four assists and three blocks. Ryan scored 13 points and Jordan Simon added 11. Rachel Trumm did not score for the Cougars but grabbed 12 rebounds.
Wallis did almost everything for eighth-ranked Grundy Center, scoring all 24 of her team’s points from the second quarter on. She finished with 29, including 18 free throws without a miss. She also grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals.
Only two other players scored for Grundy Center, Kylie Willis and Brooke Flater each getting four. Cascade held the Spartans to eight field goals and 16.3 percent shooting.
That’s not a big surprise because defense has been Cascade’s calling card for years. Only two teams scored more than 50 points on the Cougars this season and one of them needed three overtimes to get there. That was a 62-53 win over North Union in the state tournament semifinals.
Cascade, the state runner-up in 2009, finishes 25-3. Grundy Center played for the title on the day former Spartans star Kim Van Deest was inducted into the IGHSAU Hall of Fame. Grundy closes out a fine season with a 24-2 record.
Wallis was joined on the all-tournament team by McDermott, Simon, Grundy Center’s Maddie McMartin, Kayla Chapman of Treynor and Chloe Lofstrom of North Union.
