Another grooming arrest for Indianola man who had EMT license suspended
Jeremy McCormick, 37, was arrested last week and charged with grooming, a Class D felony, following an investigation by the Indianola Police Department. He posted bond and is expected to be in court again on June 18th.
The complaint filed in the case said police were contacted in April by the alleged victim, who claimed McCormick had offered them drinks while they were underage and offered to take them to Victoria's Secret 'to get something sexy.'

The incidents happened during June and August of 2024, while the alleged victim was working for McCormick. The complaint said McCormick made the victim so uncomfortable that they stopped working for him.
In January, he was charged with two counts of grooming after the Warren County Sheriff's Office investigated incidents allegedly involving two teen girls, ages 15 and 16. Criminal complaints claim he took them on a shopping trip to eastern Iowa, bought them underwear at Victoria's Secret, and asked for pictures of the teens wearing the items.
Due to the charges, the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services suspended his EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) certification.
McCormick's trial on the first two grooming charges is scheduled for October 9th, 2025.

Wounded Pennsylvania troopers recovering after chaotic shooting that left gunman, neighbor dead
A man fatally shot his neighbor in rural Pennsylvania and then unleashed a hail of gunfire on first responders, wounding two state troopers, running an EMT off the road and sniping a police drone from the sky, officials said. The chaotic scene unfolded Thursday morning after Thompson resident Lori Wasko's boyfriend called police to report gunfire. Police arrived to find the 57-year-old woman dead and her 61-year-old neighbor, Carmine Faino, lying in wait to ambush them. One of the wounded troopers commandeered a tractor trailer to block the roadway and prevent other motorists from driving into harm's way as police say Faino continued to shoot, targeting a police drone as he holed up near a propane tank that officials feared could be used as a bomb. He also fired at an SUV driven by an emergency worker before being shot and killed by police. The Susquehanna County coroner's office said an autopsy was conducted Friday morning on Faino, but the results were not immediately available. Police have not said what led to the shootings. 'I don't want to speak to his motive leading up to this. I would say you can draw certain conclusions from the standpoint that we believe Faino shot our victim prior to our arrival and then from a position of tactical advantage fired dozens and dozens of rounds,' state police Col. Christopher Paris said. He said Trooper Joseph Perechinsky applied a tourniquet to his injured colleague, Trooper William Jenkins, and, despite his own injuries, ordered the driver of a tractor trailer to block the road. Perechinsky was 'still thinking at that point in time, after being shot twice in the chest, what can I do to secure this location? What can I do to make sure nobody else gets hurt?' Paris said. Gov. Josh Shapiro called the two troopers heroes and said Perechinsky 'saved lives.' 'He acted decisively. He acted thoughtfully. And the work he did today exemplifies the absolute best of the Pennsylvania State Police,' Shapiro said. A spokesperson for Geisinger, a hospital network where the two wounded troopers are being treated, said in an email that, as of late Friday morning, Jenkins was listed in good condition and Perechinsky in fair condition. Both had been wearing ballistic vests and are 'lucky to be alive,' Paris said. The shooting happened in Thompson Township, some 163 miles (262 kilometers) north of Philadelphia. The township has long been without its own police force and, like much of Susquehanna County, relies on the state police for emergency response, which is free to local taxpayers. About one-quarter of Pennsylvanians — largely in rural areas — receive some sort of police coverage from the state police. Erika Mills, who lives near the site of the shooting, said the lack of a local police department has left the area less safe and more vulnerable to crime. She also said it made the response to the shootings more difficult. 'They know they have a large window of time before state police could be on scene,' she said. ___

Trump Crashes Out Over Damning Resurfaced Photos With Epstein
The president's reportedly close history with Jeffrey Epstein is becoming harder to refute. CNN published videos and little-known photographs Tuesday of Jeffrey Epstein at Trump's 1993 wedding to Marla Maples, proving that the pedophilic sex trafficker was in attendance at Trump's ceremony at the Plaza Hotel. It was previously not widely known that Epstein was a guest at the wedding. The network also found video footage of the two men laughing and chatting together ahead of a 1999 Victoria's Secret fashion event. But when the network rang to inquire about the images, Trump exploded. 'We were not on the phone very long,' reporter Andrew Kaczynski told CNN host Erin Burnett. 'I think our call was about 30 seconds or so. But when I asked him about the wedding photo, he said he sort of paused for a second and then said, 'You've got to be kidding me' before calling CNN 'fake news' and then hanging up on me.' Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, ferociously spit back at the network, decrying the images as 'nothing more than out-of-context frame grabs of innocuous videos and pictures of widely attended events.' He accused CNN of leveraging the images in its reporting to 'disgustingly infer something nefarious.' 'The fact is that the president kicked him out of his club for being a creep. This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media,' Cheung told CNN. But Trump has a well-documented history with the New York financier. Prior to his death, Epstein described himself as one of Trump's 'closest friends.' The socialites were named and photographed together several times, Trump allegedly penned a salacious letter to Epstein for the pedophile's 50th birthday, the real estate mogul reportedly flew on Epstein's jets between Palm Beach and New York at least seven times, and the first time that Trump slept with his now-wife Melania was reportedly aboard Epstein's plane, nicknamed the 'Lolita Express.' In a 2002 New York magazine profile of Epstein, Trump said he knew Epstein for 15 years and referred to him as a 'terrific guy.' 'It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side,' Trump said at the time. Solve the daily Crossword

Officer In Breonna Taylor's Death Given 33-Month Jail Term
Source: Probal Rashid / Getty On Monday (July 21), a federal judge in Louisville, Kentucky, sentenced former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison to almost three years in prison for his role in the raid on EMT worker Breonna Taylor's home, which took her life five years ago. The sentence was a rebuke of the request of the Trump administration's request that Hankison receive a sentence of one day in prison. District Court Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings received a letter from Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet K. Dhillon, which requested that Hankison only serve one day in prison (the amount of time he spent in jail when he was initially charged) and three years of supervised release. The insulting request sparked outrage from Taylor's family and the community, resulting in protests outside of the federal courthouse in Louisville during the proceedings. Dhillon is a staunch ally of Trump and has worked with the Department of Justice to dismiss lawsuits against police officers in Louisville and Minneapolis, which were brought in the wake of Taylor's murder and the murder of George Floyd that same year. 'Every American who believes in equal justice under the law should be outraged,' attorneys for the family said in a statement after the administration's request. 'Recommending just one day in prison sends the unmistakable message that white officers can violate the civil rights of Black Americans with near-total impunity.' The request is a new moment in the Trump administration's culture war seeking to elimintate claims of discrimination against law enforcement. Hankison was convicted last November of one count of violating Breonna Taylor's civil rights through the use of excessive force by firing 10 shots through her window during a raid, which police claimed was to seize illegal drugs. During testimony, he claimed it was to protect fellow officers during the 'no-knock' raid. His shots hit a neighboring apartment. Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, shot at the officers thinking they were intruders. Officers Myles Cosgrove and Jonathan Mattingly fired back, striking and killing Taylor. 'If I knew everything I knew today, I never would have fired my gun,' Hankison said to the Taylor family and her friends in court before sentencing, according to local CBS network WLKY . Two other officers, Kyle Meany and Joshua Jaynes, are awaiting trial on charges alleging that they falsified the warrant used for the botched raid on Taylor's home. Cosgrove and Mattingly were never charged for their role in Taylor's death. SEE ALSO Officer In Breonna Taylor's Death Given 33-Month Jail Term was originally published on
