Iowa man fights return for Lewiston terrorism case
LAMOTTE, Iowa – A LaMotte man accused of terrorizing a Lewiston, Minnesota, woman last week has refused a routine extradition to Minnesota. Steven Michael Conroy, 34, was arrested in LaMotte on a Minnesota warrant. It is Iowa’s right as a sovereign state not to recognize extradition requests from other states.

In occasional high profile cases, the resolution can mean a formal request signed by the governor of one state to the governor of the other state. Extradition cases that reach this evel usually are for major crime and capital punishment cases. The core issue in the Conroy case is child support.
