Drain valve spill at Roquette America dumps syrup into Mississippi
Iowa officials report 6000 gallons of corn syrup spilled into the Mississippi River from Roquette America in Keokuk after a plant worker failed to close a drain valve during cleaning. The Iowa DNR says the spill likely will result in a fine for failing to report the incident. A separate Des Moines Radio Shack theft involved a broken cinder block window and a display stereo that did not work. Security cameras were not recording at the time.
