An Iowa man who set fire to a church LGBTQ flag in June was sentenced Wednesday to over 15 years in prison. Adolfo Martinez, 30, was found guilty last month of a hate crime, third-degree harassment and reckless use of fire, the Des Moines Register reported. Martinez stole an LGBTQ flag hanging from the United Church of Christ in Ames – about 35 miles north of Des Moines – and set it on fire outside a strip club on June 11, police said. Martinez admitted to police that he stole the flag from church and burned it because he opposed homosexuality. Martinez was arrested in June and convicted last month. He received 15 years for the hate crime of arson, one year for the reckless use of explosives or fire and 30 days for harassment. Story County court records showed the sentences are to be served consecutively.

(WARNING 21+) The officer-involved shooting in Blanchard has been determined as justified, the district attorney said. District Attorney Greg Mashburn said the Dec. 4 shooting was justified and no further action is necessary in relation to Officer Steve Wallis. Wallis was the officer who shot and injured 56-year-old Robert Rains. Wallis and other Blanchard officers were called on the night of Dec. 4 to a home near N Main Avenue and 4th Street in reference to a domestic disturbance. After officers spoke with the woman who lived in the home, they heard a gunshot come from inside the home. A man, later identified as Rains, came out of the home with a rifle in his hands, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation reported.
