Deadly hitchhiker threat warning from Iowa sheriffs
The Iowa State Sheriffs Association warns that hitchhikers can be dangerous, citing a Decatur County incident in mid May where a 27 year old driver lost his car and wallet to two teenage youths who threatened him with a gun. Sheriff Gale McClure says the youths, ages 19 and 18, were later picked up after the vehicle was abandoned.
