system so. a lot of times the parole board will want somebody to spend some time in minimum security before they consider putting them on some type of release. either work release or parole.' fred scaletta isn't sure whether the inmates that escaped pose a threat to the public. he says most people who make this choice to escape dont want to get caught, so a lot of times they try to stay hidden as much as they can. meanwhile, if the inmates are dangerous, local resident david kessler, who's had a run with an escaped inmate before, is prepared. 03:15:12--15 ' i got protection at my house. i lock my doors and i got a handgun, so 03:15:34--55 'this happened a while back last summer too with a female inmate from the jail and escaped 03:15:41 'she came right through my yard so, i had the cops everything over there so, searching with the dogs and stuff. is that right? from the same facility or from sheriffs station. is that why you got a gun? yup. the department of corrections is investigating the escape to find out exactly what happened and to make sure it doesn't happen

anyone with information as to the whereabouts of amodeo or foley should immediately call 911. the trial of a des moines man charged in a deadly high-speed crash will resume tomorrow. troy mure junior walked away from this crash in november. first responders said they couldn't believe anyone survived. mure's passenger did not survive. mure is charged with vehicular homicide for the death of 22-year old scalicity boyd. her mother took the stand today. 10:27:30 she was a friend to anyone rather if you liked her or not, you're going to like her at the end of the day mure was going 86-miles per hour 3-times the speed limit. he says it was because he was being chased. a witness backed up that claim. ricky 10:47:24 they were weaving in and around traffic. i thought that maybe at first, they were just racing, but that was not the case. they were other. mure requested a bench trial...

fate. the trial is expected to last another two days. iowa lawmakers are getting tough on animal abusers... under the bill approved today by the senate... a person accused of abusing an animal could be charged with a felony. right now animal abuse is an aggravated misdemeanor. the bill also requires the department of human services to do a wellness check if the abuse happens in front of a child. hillary clinton and donald trump are banking on tomorrow being a big day for their campaigns. voters in these 11-states will make their pick for the democratic nominee... polls have hillary clinton leading in eight of those states... the ones marked in yellow. senator bernie sanders is ahead in just two. we left out colorado because there isn't any recent polling information there. on the republican side... these 14- states are up for grabs... and donald trump could win most of them... polls have him ahead in eight of the states.. the ones marked in red. senator ted cruz is ahead in arkansas and in his home state of texas. senator marco rubio is leading

and again because of a lack of include colorado, north dakota, or wyoming. super tuesday could bring an end to some of the attacks republicans are launching at each other... attacks that have gone from political.. to personal. even governor branstad is sick of it... political director dave price has the story. christie...from our tons...409454 0001....i've been on that stage and i know all the people on that stage in this presidential campaign, even endorsements have an edge. new jersey governor chris christie...whose own campaign backs donald trump now. he adds this. christie wgn...409453 one more message for some with big mouth. your campaign is about over, buddy." take that, buddy...a.k.a. marco rubio. governor terry bransta'ds been a big fan of governor christie...so why's it brilliant for a once rising star like christie to back the anti-establishment

what's going on? we listened to lines like that all weekend long. trump wgn...1028352 0010 he's a very nasty guy. i thought cruz was a liar. but he's worse. rubio...wgn...1028527 today he said he's going to sue. he should sue whoever did that to his face. there was more...much more. rubio...wgn...1028517 friends don't let friends vote for con artists." trump wgn 1028352 0020: little mouth on him...bing...bing...bing.

took this back and forth to another level. rubio...wgn 1028966 0010 have you seen his hands...they're like this and you know what theys ay about men with small hands yes, he went there...watch branstad's face as i ask him whether that comment was appropriate for candidates who want voters to think of them as the next president of the united states. men with small hands? governor branstad says he has no plans to endorse in the near future. the y-m-c-a is turning a donation into cash...

'10 years ago the ymca made a commitment to grimes to build a new location on the northeast part of town and just to see that being abandoned is frustrating.' in pulling out of grimes the 'y' says its prioritizing its finances and focusing on projects currently underway... that could involve finishing the pool at the wellmark y-m-c-a in downtown des moines. that location opened in january of 20-15.... but the 'y' has been unable to raise the money to complete the project. in addition to finishing the pool.. and selling the land in grimes.. the 'y' is also searching for a new c-e-o. vernon delpesce resigned last month. c-o-o wade riedinger is filling in until someone is hired. two des moines babies can celebrate their birthdays
