Police: Waukee Juvenile Arrested Twice for Same Offenses

In two separate incidents occurring on May 29 and May 30, one Waukee teen was charged with criminal mischief and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Waukee Police responded to several reports last week including two incidents by the same juvenile that occurred over two separate days.

Around 7 p.m. on the night of May 29, Waukee Police were called to a residence in the 600 block of North Little Walnut Creek Drive to assist with an alleged disruptive juvenile.

At the residence, a 16 year-old male was arrested and charged with criminal mischief (third degree), possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of schedule 1 drugs.

In a separate incident the following day, May 30, police were again called to the North Little Walnut Creek residence and arrested the same 16 year-old male. At that time, he was charged with criminal mischief and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In both the May 29 and 30 incidents, damage was reported at the residence. Total damage estimates were not available.

The juvenile was taken to Meyer Hall in Des Moines and referred to juvenile court.

Could one of the reasons for the population loss in rural Iowa be the lack of decent paying jobs?Read More There are large portions of rural Iowa where there are minimum wage jobs without benefits. Wal-Mart has replaced many small businesses in rural counties. Many of their workers need welfare to survive. The welfare programs that Wal-Mart workers rely on include Medicaid, subsidized housing and food assistance. Meanwhile Wal-Mart and other corporations are setting records for corporate profits. A May 2013 report “The Low-Wage Drag on Our Economy: Wal-Mart’s Low Wages and Their Effect on Taxpayers and Economic Growth” shows how their business model exerts downward pressure on wages. Should we continue to support a created taxpayer-funded social welfare program by corporations? Raising the minimum wage could help alleviate those programs.

Julia Ziesman, I boycott Walmart for the reasons you listed. American taxpayers subsidize Walmart'sRead More low wages and poor benefits with $2.1 billion a year. Collectively, Sam Walton's heirs contributed a whole $6,000 to charity. I looked up the three class-action lawsuits against Walmart that I knew about and found 71. Many lawsuits against Walmart are to try to make courts enforce their many rulings against Walmart. I was really upset when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to allow Walmart women workers' lawsuit against Walmart to proceed as a class-action lawsuit. The lawsuit that shocked me the most was that of a 33-year-old handicapped woman in a wheelchair who wouldn't believe that Walmart had shaved her time card hours in order to pay her less than the pitiful hourly wage she should have earned. Her lawyers had to produce documents to prove to her that Walmart was really that unethical.
