Judge To Rule In Next Few Weeks In Callaway Case
After nine days and 49 witnesses, closing arguments in the State of Iowa v Callaway concluded with Judge Peter VanMetre saying the ruling will be filed in the next few weeks due to a heavy Black Hawk county docket. The decision will either dismiss the petition or remove Callaway as Hardin County Sheriff, with potential appeal to the state supreme court. Callaway has served on temporary suspension since January 24 for maladministration of office, with Lowell McCormick acting in his place. The state argued Callaway abused prisoners and acted below public officer standards, while the defense defended his dedication and noted no proven evil motive. The record cites multiple incidents of alleged striking and mistreatment of prisoners to support removal. The defense urged maintaining Callaway’s public service record and warned of potential county impact if removed. The case continues on page 3.
