Posted on June 9, 2017 by KBOE Administrator

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Polk County Sheriff’s Office says it is investigating one of its officers for social media postings deriding Islam and calling the religion an “evil ideology.”

The Des Moines Register reports (http://dmreg.co/2r9d3p6 ) that a graphic on the Facebook page of Sgt. Dan Charleston said it included “verses from the Quran that inspire terrorists” and that Charleston accompanied the graphic with a comment: “No reasoning with this evil ideology.” The posting has been removed.

A phone listed for Charleston rang busy during several calls Friday. Department spokesman Rich Blaylock said “the Polk County Sheriff’s Office is very concerned with the messages posted on social media and are conducting an internal investigation.”

Charleston has twice run unsuccessfully for sheriff. He’s been a member of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office for 19 years.

Griffiths held on to the top spot until Nathan Wood worked his way up to take the top spot on lap six, Griffiths took it back on lap seven. Wood was not determined to take the top spot back from Griffiths and he did exactly that on lap eight. Wood becomes the first repeat winner in the Stock Cars at Southern Iowa Speedway. Mike Hughes finished in the number two spot ahead of Griffiths. Todd Reitzler gets another top five finish coming home in fourth and Greg Gill was fifth.

Before a single lap scored in the Oskaloosa True Value IMCA Sport Mods 16 lap feature, the caution came out when Jason McDaniel spun in turn four after contact from Curtis VanDerWal sending both cars to the tail. Ethan Braaksma, youngster from Newton, started on the pole and he took advantage by grabbing the top spot and not looking back. Braaksma goes on to take the win become the third different winner.

Martin saw Anderson sneak on the inside after he left the door open in turn three on lap ten. Anderson cruised on to remain perfect, five for five in Osky. Martin held on for second ahead of Songer, Nathan Ballard and Mike Kincaid.
