Good morning, Sioux City.

Two local softball teams held a strikeout cancer event at East High School on Tuesday night to raise funds for Zachary Malenosky, the KCAU 9 director (recovering after a brain tumor removal); proceeds from sold t-shirts, stickers and ice cream floats went toward his medical bills.

Fuzzy was a 10 to 12 week old male silver tabby kitten found abandoned with three siblings at a local rescue's front door.

The rescue said the kittens (two boys and two girls) are sweet and ready for adoption.

On Sunday at 1:45 p.m., Dakota County deputies pursued a stolen white Honda Accord (spotted by a FLOCK camera) through South Sioux City before spike strips were deployed and a police officer fired a shot that forced suspect Benjamin Horn (from Winnebago) to back into a patrol vehicle and crash into three others, resulting in his arrest.

On Sunday, June 8, police ended a 15-minute chase when 35-year-old Benjamin Horn drove a stolen vehicle into Sioux City, struck multiple cars on Veterans Memorial Bridge, and was arrested—he now faces charges for eluding, reckless driving, and possession of a stolen motor vehicle in both Iowa and Nebraska.

Woodbury County court proceedings handed various sentences to offenders in Sioux City and nearby areas for charges such as criminal mischief, stalking, and assault on a peace officer — some received deferred judgment and probation while others were sentenced to prison — reflecting a range of outcomes from recent cases.

Artis Karazins, a 36-year-old from Lake View, assaulted a jailer and attempted to escape at Sac County Jail on June 10 — video showed him grabbing a staff member and chasing her before deputies subdued him, and he was taken to a hospital before later being held at Woodbury County Jail.

Valerie Whaley, a woman from Sergeant Bluff, won $100K from the Mega Crossword scratch game when she bought her ticket at Fareway on First Street and redeemed it in Storm Lake on Monday & holds her winning check from Iowa Lottery.
