On Thursday, November 27, 2025, at 12:31 PM Deputies were dispatched to the 3300-Mile of 130th Street in Marshall County, Iowa for a report of a disturbance with a family member that displayed a handgun. Before deputies arrived, the family member left the property in a vehicle and was believed to be traveling to Marshalltown, Iowa.
