The child was naked, according to the reports. She at first said he came from her bedroom, and that s where we located a lot of drugs and firearms . she then changed the story and said he was in the other room, Jones said.
Law enforcement officers began walking through the house searching to see if there were any additional illegal items. As we re walking back (into the home), we see what I can only describe as a horse stable, Jones said. Like a horse stable where the horse can hang it s head over (the gate). It latches on the outside, where anyone on the inside can t get out.
Donathan Williams
A Fort Dodge man accused of stabbing another man at a downtown apartment in July 2020 has pleaded guilty to lesser charges.
Donathan L. Williams, 42, was arrested on July 2, 2020, after the victim, 39-year-old Lavaris Bosworth, walked into the Community Health Center of Fort Dodge, 126 N. 10th St., with wounds on his neck and back. Bosworth was transported to UnityPoint Health Trinity Regional Medical Center for serious injuries.
The criminal complaint for the incident said that Bosworth was stabbed after Williams followed him up to his fifth-floor apartment in the Biltwell Apartment building, 106 N. 10th St.
Video surveillance showed Willaims, walking with a knife, involved in an apparent altercation in the apartment before leaving, then returning and chasing the victim down the hallway toward the building’s fire escape. In addition to video surveillance, a very apparent trail of blood led officers to the scene of the crime.
