Walker Gang Tied To Pit Bull Attacks And Drug Network
Investigators across several counties and state agencies linked a New Jersey based gang, led by Robert Jaccoud known as The Undertaker, to a pit bull attack that drew officials’ attention. Dogs trained to attack, a mobile drug operation, and undercover buys in Vinton and Walker were reported as the posse moved from town. Jaccoud fled to New Jersey after prior amphetamine trafficking convictions. Authorities say the group intended to settle locally, taking a portable lab with them as the probe shifted to other states.

Sheriff Ken Popenhagen cites the Branded gang's violence, undercover agent exposure, and out of state warrants as officials prepare for an ABATE rally at the county fairgrounds while monitoring potential trouble from a few weekend associates.

Embezzlement case and use tax audit details in Tama County
Vilek, free on a $20 000 unsecured bond, faces sentencing June 30 after agreeing with the Tama County Attorney to concurrent sentences on four charges. First degree theft is a Class C felony with up to 10 years and a $10 000 fine. felonious misconduct in office is a Class D felony with up to five years and a $7 500 fine. A state audit released Friday found $80 814 in use taxes collected but not properly accounted for between 1985 and 1988, with the cash handling and computer records inconsistently matching totals. The audit notes changes to the use tax amount will be noted and reported, and the state computer program is being modified to detect such activity in the future.

Jobless fears spark talk of higher rates to cool the economy
From page 10, the Federal Reserve may tighten credit and raise rates as inflation fears surface. Larry Chimerine of WEFA Group in Bala Cynwyd argues inflation is overstated and manufacturing is strong while services and retail lag. Richard Rahn of the U S Chamber of Commerce notes inflation is not tied to low unemployment, citing 15 years with similar unemployment and lower inflation at 3.6 percent versus 4.8 percent in years with higher unemployment.
