Iowa City woman accused of taking $2,000 in cash from BMW

IOWA CITY — A Coralville woman is accused of taking a pillowcase containing $2,000 in cash from inside a BMW at an Iowa City business and assaulting an employee while attempting to flee, according to a criminal complaint. About 2 p.m. Friday, Diana De Jesus Rivera, 32, was observed by witnesses rummaging through a BMW in a parking lot at 580 Highway 1 W., according to the complaint. Police said she took the pillowcase with cash inside and attempted to flee on foot when confronted by store employees. Employees stopped and detained her, but Rivera elbowed one of them in the face and also bit the employee’s arm, breaking her skin. Rivera gave officers a false name and date of birth, pulled a hand out of her handcuffs while in the squad car, and refused to get back in after being ordered to briefly step out, according to the complaint. Rivera also is accused of punching an officer’s head at the Johnson County Jail. Rivera has been charged with second-degree robbery, a Class C felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison; second-degree theft, a Class D felony punishable by up to five years in prison; assault on persons

UI Health Care to pay $1.3M to heart attack patient’s family

IOWA CITY — University of Iowa Health Care has agreed to pay $1.3 million to the family of a 41-year-old Benton County woman who died in the hospital following a heart attack in 2022, according to a settlement approved by the Iowa Board of Appeals. “The parties recognized the risks and costs to both sides of further litigation and a settlement was reached,” according to Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Peterzalek — referencing the protracted lawsuit filed more than two years ago in July 2024, which came two years after Stephanie Earle, 41, went to the ER on July 1, 2022. About 8 p.m. that day, Earle was rushed by ambulance to Virginia Gay Hospital in Vinton — as she had been struggling to breathe — and became unresponsive on the way, according to the lawsuit. “She was noted to be in pulseless ventricular tachycardia, was defibrillated several times en route to Virginia Gay Hospital and CPR was in progress upon arrival,” the lawsuit reported. “Stephanie required intubation at Virginia Gay Hospital, however — following CPR and defibrillation — Stephanie was awake, moving her head, and attempting to speak while at Virginia Gay Hospital.” She had been a smoker, had high

Iowa football climbs rankings in new US LBM Coaches Poll

After its 24-10 win at then-No. 23 Northwestern on Nov. 7, Iowa (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) was rewarded with another jump in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll . The Hawkeyes are up to No. 15. It's a five-spot rise for Iowa. Iowa quarterback Hank Brown threw a touchdown pass to Tony Diaz and ran in another score, and Braeden Jackson had his second kickoff return touchdown of the season. The Hawkeyes' defense limited Northwestern and backup quarterback Nicco Marchiol to 286 yards of offense. L.J. Phillips Jr. had a big day for the Hawkeyes, too, rushing for 128 yards on 21 carries. Across the nation, Notre Dame handed previous No. 1 Miami its first loss. The Irish jumped three spots to No. 3 nationally. The Georgia Bulldogs take over as the nation's new No. 1 team. Utah is ranked No. 2 after a big win over BYU . Unbeaten UCLA is the Big Ten's highest-ranked team at No. 4, Indiana is No. 5, USC is No. 14, Oregon is No. 19, Ohio State is No. 20. Fellow Big Ten squads Northwestern, Illinois, Wisconsin , and Minnesota received votes but not enough to crack the rankings. The US LBM Coaches

Purdue at Iowa: Opening Odds

How does FanDuel think Purdue will fire in the second post-Kevin Kane era?. After a [somewhat] stunning defeat and a [not-so] stunning coaching change over homecoming weekend, Purdue football will travel to Iowa City to take on the AP #16 Hawkeyes in Kinnick. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET so it will be played under the lights. This Iowa teams comes into the week with a 7-2 record with their only losses being to Ohio State (when they still had a healthy Julian Sayin) and at Minnesota. In their 3 remaining games including Saturday night, Iowa is going to attempt to get to 10-2 and try and reach the College Football Playoff for the first time in school history. The Hawkeyes are currently ranked #19 in the CFP but a new set of rankings will drop this week. Iowa’s previous closest attempt at the playoff was 2015 where a 12-0 Hawkeyes team lost in the Big Ten Championship to Michigan State. The Spartans would go on to jump the Hawkeyes in the CFP rankings and take the slot from Kirk Ferentz and company before getting blown out by eventual champion, Alabama, in the Cotton Bowl.

Letter to the editor: ICCSD shouldn’t make big decisions based on unreliable enrollment projections

Imagine if a weatherman said there was a 50 percent chance of rain a month from today. You might believe him. Now imagine his prediction went up to 80 percent. Would you still buy it, or would it seem a tad extreme? Now imagine he told you that he was 99.7 percent certain it would rain one month from today. Might his extreme confidence for a prediction so far in the future make you a little skeptical?

Family of UIHC patient paid $875K after brain infection

IOWA CITY — After a 61-year-old Wright County man who previously suffered a brain aneurysm died in June 2023 from an unrelated fungal infection, University of Iowa Health Care has agreed to pay his family $875,000 “to avoid the risks of future litigation and trial.” James Deimerly’s family sued the state for its oversight of UIHC in December 2024 — accusing Deimerly’s UI care team of negligence for failing to conduct a “fundus examination” of the patient’s eyes, diagnose and treat meningitis, and diagnose and treat intracranial pressure. “UIHC is vicariously liable for the negligent acts of its doctors, nurses, assistants, nurse practitioners, therapists, agents, and other health care professionals who may have provided care to Jim Deimerly,” according to allegations in the lawsuit, which state attorneys have denied. “The death of Jim Deimerly, along with the resulting harms and damages, would not have occurred but for the negligence of providers at UIHC.” More than three years ago on June 17, 2023, Deimerly came to UIHC complaining of seizure-like activity for a week, a severe headache, frequent hiccups and nausea, according to the family’s lawsuit. He was told to continue anti-seizure medication and given additional tests — such as a

Fans, media react to Iowa women's basketball loss vs. UConn

In its first big test of the 2026-27 season, No. 10 Iowa women's basketball (2-1) suffered its first loss of the campaign on Sunday afternoon, falling, 91-79, to No. 2 UConn (2-1) at M&T Bank Center at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Conn. Despite a furious comeback attempt by Iowa, led by Chit-Chat Wright's 23 points on 8 for 12 shooting, the Hawkeyes couldn't overcome a career-high 39-point performance and 10 rebounds from Sarah Strong, who shot 15 for 26 and 5 for 10 from 3-point range. Although the loss wasn't the outcome Iowa envisioned on Sunday, it still serves as a valuable measuring stick. Here's how Iowa fans and media reacted to Sunday's outcome: Just sloppy passing by Iowa over the last couple of minutes.

University of Iowa drops plans for new cancer center

IOWA CITY — Two years after the Board of Regents gave the go-ahead to build a new state-of-the-art cancer research facility , the University of Iowa has changed course and instead is pursuing a smaller-scale project to build out shelled space for cancer research in its new College of Pharmacy Building. “Because of projected budget constraints, the standalone building is not advancing at this time,” UI officials said in new board documents seeking approval for the pared-down proposal. “The university is instead evaluating opportunities to provide cancer-focused and other research space within existing facilities across the health sciences campus.” Specifically, the university wants to spend $13 million building out unfinished space on the sixth floor of the new College of Pharmacy Building — which opened in 2020 — for “cancer-focused research programs” in the form of “flexible laboratories, shared support spaces, research equipment, and collaboration areas.” New Board of Regents documents report nearly 70% of that $13 million price tag — or about $9 million — will come from interest earned on an endowment created through the university’s 2020 public-private partnership for the operation of its utility system. That is triple the amount of P3 funding UI officials said the
