🚨 SOLON OWI / CHILD ENDANGERMENT CASE 🚨

A Solon woman is facing charges after authorities say she was driving while intoxicated with three children in the vehicle.

Deputies say this happened on Tuesday, June 9th, 2026, just before 5:00 p.m., in Solon, Iowa.

The suspect has been identified as Kelli Andresen.

Authorities say a call came in about an intoxicated driver with child passengers.

A Johnson County deputy says Andresen performed poorly on field sobriety tests and later tested above the legal limit.

According to the criminal complaint, her breath sample allegedly showed a 0.342 BAC.

For context, Iowa’s legal limit is 0.08, meaning the alleged result was more than four times the legal limit.

Andresen is charged with:

Second-offense OWI
Three counts of child endangerment

All charges are allegations unless proven in court.

Shelsky is now charged with:

Two counts of grooming
S*xual exploitation

🚨 PED MALL SHOOTING SUSPECT FACES NEW CHARGE 🚨

A Cedar Rapids teen already accused in the Iowa City Ped Mall shooting case is now facing a separate charge from a January vehicle burglary investigation.

Damarian Jones, 17, has been charged with third-degree vehicle burglary, first offense.

Court documents say the alleged burglary happened on January 16th, 2026, at the underground parking area for Hawks Ridge in Iowa City.

Investigators say Jones and four others allegedly checked vehicle doors, entered vehicles, and stole items.

One of the items listed in the complaint was an Xbox, which investigators say was later sold at a GameStop in Cedar Rapids.

This is separate from the April 19th Ped Mall shooting case, where Jones is accused of firing into a crowd during a large fight and injuring five people.

In that case, Jones faces multiple serious charges, including five counts of attempted murder.

🚨 FORMER TAMA COUNTY JAILER CHARGED 🚨

A now-former Tama County jailer is facing serious felony charges.

Authorities say 21-year-old Clayton Killian was arrested by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and charged with two counts of second-degree sexual abuse.

Both charges are listed as Class B felonies.

Court documents allege the case involves a girl who was 13 years old at the time.

Investigators say the alleged abuse happened in August of 2023, when Killian was 19.

Officials say the case came to light in 2026 after the girl’s mother contacted law enforcement with concerns about an alleged inappropriate relationship involving her daughter and an adult.

The Tama County Sheriff’s Office said Killian was placed on administrative leave after they were notified of the investigation, and he is no longer employed by the office.

Officials also said the alleged conduct did not involve his employment.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 29th, 2026.

All charges are allegations unless proven in court.

Two Davenport parents are facing serious felony charges after authorities say their 10-year-old child was found severely neglected.

Andrew Warrington, 48, and Kellie Warrington, 47, are accused of keeping the child locked inside an unfurnished bedroom for extended periods of time.

Court documents allege the child was deprived of food, water, bathroom access, light, and basic mental stimulation.

The child was reportedly severely malnourished and needed treatment at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.

Doctors reportedly said that without medical intervention, the child was at risk of death.

Andrew and Kellie Warrington are charged with:

First-degree kidnapping

Neglect or abandonment of a dependent person

Both were reported held on $2 million cash-only bonds.
