• False alarm at hog building

The Hartley Fire Department responded to a call at a hog facility located at 2950 Wilson Avenue, on Friday, July 17. Firefighters found that there was no fire. Dust created during remodeling of the building had tripped a sensor which set off the alarm.

• Vehicles are total loss

Two vehicles were listed as a total loss following an accident on Wednesday, July 22 at 8:28 p.m.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office reported that a 2009 Chevy Impala was westbound on 360th Street approaching 200th Avenue. A 2005 Toyota Camry had stopped at the intersection and was turning east onto 360th Street when it pulled into the path of the Impala. The driver of the Impala attempted to avoid the collision but was unable to do so.

Minor injuries were reported to both drivers who were identified by the sheriff’s office as a minor female, 16, of Everly, and a minor male, 16, of Spencer. The male was cited for Failure to Yield the Right of Way.

• Operation Dry Water 2020 nets 11 arrests

Operation Dry Water took place July 3-5, 2020 and focused on eliminating boating under the influence (BUI). This year, in Iowa, 140 officers spent over 2,500 hours making contact with over 6,400 boaters on Iowa waterways.

During that enforcement operation, 11 people were arrested for BUI. There were 392 additional citations or warnings issued.

The DNR reminds boaters to always obey these rules:

• Alcohol and boating don’t mix. Wind, sun glare and heat can enhance the effects of alcohol, hindering the operator’s ability to make necessary decisions.

• The same limit of .08 for operating a vehicle under the influence applies to boating.

• Always have a designated operator that avoids consuming alcohol.

• Wear your life jacket, it floats, you don’t. Any children 12 and under must wear a lifejacket at all times on a vessel underway in Iowa.

The DNR Law Enforcement Bureau partnered with DNR State Parks, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Dubuque Police Department, Illinois DNR, Nebraska Game & Parks, Wisconsin DNR, Linn County Conservation and the Johnson, Mills, Fremont, Clayton, and Crawford County Sheriff’s Offices.
