Crowd vs Cops @ The State Fair

Des Moines police officers were attacked as they waded into a combative crowd outside the gates of the Iowa State Fair Sunday night. Officers sprayed chemical deterrents and deployed a stun gun while trying to gain control. Two teen girls were taken into custody for questioning following the incident. Police administrators announced last week they were stepping up security outside the gates because of a series of attacks and fights on Aug. 14. Similar events unfolded on Sunday, the last night of the fair. Police Sgt. Richard Schuett and reserve Officer Lynn Hubbs both complained of head, neck and back pain after being punched from behind while trying to secure arrests. Several large crowds of people were leaving the fairgrounds. Sgt. Schuett was attempting to make an arrest when someone hit him in the back of the head with a closed fist. A police report says: “Officer Schuett was on the ground fighting with his suspect, and several other females began to attack him.” Another officer grabbed one of the attackers and tried to make an arrest, but she spun away. Police said other citizens jumped into the fight and other officers rushed in to help out. Chemical sprays were deployed. Coughennower used a stun gun to gain control of the teenager he was fighting, and she immediately went to the ground. Medics also removed the stun gun barbs from a suspect.


Way to go out with a bang. They all need to have a UFC match at next year's fair.

A Heartless Woman

Mindy Greany WATERLOO,IA --- A Grundy Center woman has been sentenced to prison for stealing from people with disabilities. As a credit counseling company employee, Mindy Sue Greany, 31, oversaw the funds of the blind and mentally challenged --- people who needed help keeping track of their money. Instead, she siphoned more than $100,000 from their accounts at Family Management Credit Counselors in Waterloo. On Friday, District Court Judge Margaret Lingreen sentenced Greany to spend up to 10 years in prison for her pleas to six counts of first-degree theft, eight counts of second-degree theft and one count of third-degree theft. One of the credit counseling clients had a simple question for Greany when he took the witness stand during sentencing. "He said 'Why did you steal from me?'" said Roger Goldsberry, director of Family Management Credit Counselors. Greany was an administrative assistant at the organization and took money between July 2003 and July 27, 2...

"Love it or Leave it Color Coordination"

From BHGP.com: [Memo dictated by Tad Shamarharhar, Assistant Athletic Director for Color Coordination, Wave Production and Rhythmic Chanting, for general release] "The Penn State game was a great success. I don't think anyone thought we could get the Kinnick crowd to pull off the stripe effect, but we did it. Note to self: if I ever realize my lifelong dream of pulling off a coup d'etat in this country, remember that the Iowans follow directions well. Very well. Don't write that last part down. It was an impressive effort, but I think we have just touched the tip of the iceberg in terms of fan color coordination. We can, nay, we must go farther. Here are the color coordination instructions I have prepared for the Wisconsin game: If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 1-15, you should wear navy If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 16-25, you should wear royal blue If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 26-40, you should wea...
