Man arrested on stalking, harassment charges for threats of violence at Iowa State's graduation, court documents say
Tanner Bandy, 28, is facing multiple charges of first-degree harassment and stalking – possession of dangerous weapon. Police say he is not an Iowa State student.
Widespread storm damage reported in Storm Lake
Court documents filed in the case claim Bandy had been stalking and threatening his ex-fiancée since last October. Earlier this month, Bandy allegedly left a voicemail for the victim in which he threatened to kill the victim and other people with an AR-15 during Iowa State's graduation ceremony.
Bandy is being held in the Story County Jail on a $200,000 bond.
Iowa State officials sent out a statement to students following Bandy's arrest. It said, 'While ISU Police do not believe there is an ongoing concern, they are working with their law enforcement partners to provide increased security measures on campus as well as during university commencement ceremonies in May.'
The investigation is ongoing by the Iowa State University Police Department.

Collapse of Tish James' civil-fraud case vs. Trump is the latest blow to Dem lawfare
Chalk up another win for President Donald Trump over Democrats who tried to destroy him with lawfare. On Thursday, a New York appellate court tossed the ludicrous half-billion-dollar penalty imposed on Trump in state Attorney General Letitia James' utterly political civil-fraud case. The ridiculously enormous fine was meant to hamstring him as he ran for president, though James and trial-court Judge Arthur Engoron pretended it was about warning others not to imitate his supposedly fraudulent actions. Actions that harmed . . . exactly no one. The penalty 'is an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment,' wrote the judges. Their decision doesn't void Engoron's finding that Trump defrauded lenders and insurers by overestimating the value of his assets, though the Court of Appeals (the state's top court) may do so. But either way it makes the case appear even more pointless than it already was. After all, Trump warned the bankers, etc., that those estimates weren't audited and assumed they'd do their own due diligence. And indeed, none of them ever complained, let alone sued Trump on their own. Indeed, two of the five appellate judges found serious errors in the trial proceedings and sought a re-do; one, David Friedman, said the whole case merits immediate dismissal. 'Plainly, [James'] ultimate goal was not 'market hygiene,'' fumed Friedman, 'but political hygiene, ending with the derailment of President Trump's political career and the destruction of his real estate business.' 'The voters have obviously rendered a verdict on his political career. This bench today unanimously derails the effort to destroy his business.' Hear, hear. Remember, James campaigned on promises to find something (anything!) to target Trump for — a witch-hunt, that is, that should have disqualified her from the start. These nothingburger civil charges were the best she could find; if they'd wound up before a less-biased judge than Engoron, they would've died long ago. Meanwhile, the two federal criminal cases against Trump are now kaput; the Georgia state prosecution imploded, too. In the one criminal case where Trump was found guilty (in deeply anti-Trump Manhattan), the judge socked him with . . . no penalties whatsoever — and the prez is appealing that decision, too, on overwhelmingly strong grounds. As Judge Friedman suggested, Democrats thought if they couldn't stop Trump through normal democratic means, they'd get the courts to stop him (to save 'democracy'!). They failed on both fronts. Maybe some day soon they'll give up lawfare and other schemes, and focus on finding viable political ideas and candidates that voters can get behind on the merits.

Democrats face challenge in countering Trump on crime
Democrats are struggling to mount a response as Trump has federalized Washington, D.C., and seized control of the Metropolitan Police Department while threatening to take similar actions in other Democratic cities. In interviews with The Hill, some Democrats have expressed frustration with their party's emphasis on decreasing crime rates instead of focusing on the way voters feel walking the streets of their city. 'These crime statistics, as impressive as they are, are no substitute for how people feel and what they see, and Washington residents still feel like crime is too high and too pervasive, and … that reality has created this opening for Donald Trump,' said Democratic strategist Anthony Coley, who resides in the nation's capital. 'Now that is no excuse for this political stunt he is trying to do, but from a raw political perspective, you never want to give your political opponent an opening to address a real concern that your constituents have.' In a press conference last week, Trump signaled that Washington was just the start of his federal crackdown on crime and Democratic cities across the country could be next. 'You look at Chicago, how bad it is. You look at Los Angeles, how bad it is,' Trump said. 'We have other cities that are very bad. New York has a problem. And then you have, of course, Baltimore and Oakland. We don't even mention that anymore — they're so far gone.' 'We're not going to lose our cities over this, and this will go further,' Trump added. Trump appealed to voters' perceptions of crime during his 2024 campaign — even though crime rates in cities around the country were at multidecade lows. Now he is doubling down on his campaign rhetoric. A YouGov poll last week found that 89 percent of Americans think crime in U.S. cities is a problem. The poll also showed that more than half of Americans think crime in U.S. cities has increased since 2020. 'One of the reasons that Trump has taken to this is because there's this impression that Democrats are soft on crime and that progressives are too lax on criminals and criminal activity,' Democratic strategist Basil Smikle said. 'I think that it's important to say that crime has gone down in part because communities did respond to the high crime rates. … It wasn't just more policing, and I think that's a very important point that they need to hammer home.' In recent days, mayors of Democratic strongholds in Los Angeles, Oakland, New York, Chicago and Baltimore have pointed to their city's decreasing crime rates, calling Trump's moves baseless and power hungry. Many of them have also highlighted the policies they've implemented. 'From my first day in office, public safety has been my top priority,' Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said in a statement Sunday. 'In just two years we have made historic progress, driving down homicides by more than 30 percent and reducing shootings by almost 40 percent in the last year alone.' 'If President Trump wants to help make Chicago safer, he can start by releasing the funds for anti-violence programs that have been critical to our work to drive down crime and violence,' Johnson added. 'Sending in the National Guard would only serve to destabilize our city and undermine our public safety efforts.' And some Democrats say that's really all they can be doing — at least until they're able to take the battle to the courts. 'This is more about who you are going to believe,' Democratic strategist Rodell Mollineau said. 'There's a lot of dog-whistle in there, and if people are susceptible to believing that, then it's hard to combat it.' 'It's hard to say that you should respond with anything but the truth, even if some people don't want to hear the truth,' Mollineau added. 'This is performative, and it's not actually getting the results. I think that's where we need to go, but I do think that there's going to be a population that's never going to believe us.' At the same time, because Democrats have struggled with voters on crime, some strategists say now is the time for them to fine tune their policies — closing gaps that Trump could try to fill. 'I do think, though, that there are legislative fixes and tweaks that many lawmaking bodies and democratically held cities should revisit, even as the data continues to fall,' Coley said. He argues local government officials in D.C., in how they handled crime during and after the pandemic, created a political opening for Trump. 'So I think other cities should do what they can to further improve how people feel about public safety in their jurisdictions,' he added. 'And they should do that now.' Some Democrats say officials in their party have already done the work successfully and that sending that message to voters is what will ease their perceptions of unsafe streets. 'I don't think [Democrats] are out of touch because crime has gone down in these cities, so they know how to police their cities,' Smikle said. 'They have to just remind voters that they brought crime down in their cities, and they know how to do that.' Either way, Democrats say they will have to do something to convince voters they are competent on crime, but they say the political consequences could be low for Trump. 'Most of America has little to no sympathy for Washington, D.C. That became evident during the DOGE cuts,' said one Democratic strategist of the mass-layoffs by Trump's Department of Government of Efficiency. 'So while Americans should be concerned about an authoritarian power grab, I'm not sure it will resonate.' 'D.C. is on its own,' the strategist added. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Who is Tina Peters? Trump calls for release of ex-clerk guilty of election data scheme
President Donald Trump is calling for the release of a former Republican county clerk imprisoned for allowing someone to access data from a secure voting system in attempts to prove baseless 2020 election denial conspiracies. Tina Peters, a former clerk and recorder in Colorado who denies that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election over Donald Trump, was sentenced to nine years in prison in October 2024 on seven charges involving tampering with Mesa County's election machines. The charges include attempting to influence a public servant, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation and first-degree official misconduct. Trump said in a post on social media Aug. 21 that Peters is an 'old woman' and 'very sick,' and should be freed from prison, threatening 'very harsh measures' if she is not released, and repeated baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged. 'FREE TINA PETERS, a brave and innocent Patriot who has been tortured by Crooked Colorado politicians, including the big Mail-In Ballot supporting the governor of the State,' Trump said in the social media post. 'Let Tina Peters out of jail, RIGHT NOW. She did nothing wrong, except catching the Democrats cheat in the Election.' It's the second time the president has taken to social media in the past several months to call for Peters' release, who has become a public figure among election deniers. She was the first election official to be charged with a security breach following the 2020 presidential election related to unfounded conspiracy theories. Peters was convicted in a Colorado state court, beyond the reach of the president's executive clemency powers. Who is Tina Peters? Peters was county clerk and recorder of Mesa County in western Colorado from 2018 to 2023. Peters was running for Colorado secretary of state at the time of the indictment, and attracted significant attention over the case. Her campaign website now calls her a 'political prisoner' and 'whistleblower' who has been 'silenced for standing for truth.' A March 2022 indictment alleged Peters and deputy clerk Belinda Knisley conspired to turn off security cameras in the room where the county's voting machines were stored and improperly granted access to an outside activist by stealing someone else's identity. They then refused to turn over documentation and records to state elections officials investigating the possible breach, prosecutors said, which occurred during what was supposed to be a secure 'trusted build' software update by state officials. The indictment states Peters and Knisley pretended to hire an IT consultant, used his name and Social Security number to pass a background check and acquire a security clearance and access badge. That badge allowed former surfer Conan Hayes, who was acquainted with election-denier and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, to enter the secure room where the machines were stored and take images of the voting machines and associated data. Investigators were alerted when these images and data were posted online, which exposed the machines to hackers. The county's machines had to be replaced, and Peters claimed that she did not know the information was being made public. One year before her indictment, Peters appeared in South Dakota at Lindell's 'election security symposium,' where files from the Mesa County election system were displayed onscreen, the Detroit Free-Press, part of the USA TODAY Network previously reported. During her October 2024 sentencing, Judge Matthew Barrett called Peters one of the most defiant defendants he has ever seen. 'You are no hero. You abused your position – and you're a charlatan who used, and is still using your prior position, to peddle a snake oil that's been proven to be junk time and time again,' Barrett said. 'Your lies are well-documented and these convictions are serious. I'm convinced you'd do it all over again if you could.' Peters is appealing her conviction.
