Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gregory A. Johnson, of Johnson & Phelan, Fort Madison, for appellant.

Thomas J. Miller, Atty. Gen., Jeanine Freeman, Asst. Atty. Gen., and R. David Fahey, Asst. Lee County Atty., for appellee.

Considered by LeGRAND, P. J., and HARRIS, McCORMICK, McGIVERIN, and LARSON, JJ.
