Probation for Wayne County man following second OWI conviction

CENTERVILLE — A Wayne County man's second drunken driving conviction in less than two years nets suspended prison for probation sentence.

Tommy John Day, 29, of Seymour, on Jan. 4 was sentenced by Judge Kirk A. Daily in Appanoose County to two years in state prison, suspended 723 days of the prison sentence, serve seven days in county jail, given credit for any time served, fine and two years low risk probation with the Department of Corrections.

Appanoose County Attorney Richard Scott on Aug. 28, 2012 filed trial information accusing Day of operating while intoxicated, second offense, an aggravated misdemeanor. The same day Scott filed supplemental trial information accusing Day of operating while intoxicated, first offense, a serious misdemeanor.

Day filed a waiver of rights and guilty plea to the charge of OWI, second offense, an aggravated misdemeanor, on Jan. 4.

According to the criminal complaint and affidavit filed on July 16, 2012 by Appanoose County Sheriff's officer Keith Glosser, Day was stopped at Highway 5 and 540th Street on July 14 at 2:12 a.m. and field tested a blood alcohol content more than .08.

At the Appanoose County Jail Day's blood alcohol content was measured at .142 at 3:44 a.m.

Day owes $2,767.25 for this case.

The Iowegian wants readers to think about the debate Rep. Larry Sheets talks about at the state capital centered on "accepting Medicaid expansion as defined by the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), or choosing to create an Iowa specific health care program. Those who prefer the Medicaid expansion believe the federal government will fulfill its commitments three years from now. Those opposing explain that the federal government is only capable of that by borrowing the money from the Chinese." So, the question this week is, "Should Iowa accept the federal government's Medicaid expansion or create a health care program specific to the state?"

A. Accept Medicaid expansion.
B. Create health care program.
