– Carrying Out Violence For Cash
Armstrong, IA — The people of Armstrong, Iowa have apparently been the victims of a top-down violent theft scandal run by the mayor, the police chief, and two others. Now after holding the town hostage for years, four of the ring leaders from this small Iowa town are behind bars.
Starting Friday afternoon, three city officials, including Mayor Greg Buum, City Clerk Tracie Lang and former City Clerk Connie Thackery were arrested on more than two dozen criminal charges filed by the Iowa Attorney General’s Office.
On Saturday, Armstrong, Iowa police chief Craig Merrill was taken into custody in Martin County, Minnesota. Exactly why Merrill was in Minnesota and not Iowa at the time of his arrest was unclear. However, he may have attempted to make a run for it. He is currently waiting in the Martin County jail for extradition back to Iowa.
“Mayor Greg Buum, police chief Craig Merrill, city clerk Tracie Lang, and former city clerk Connie Thackery were charged with felony and misdemeanor offenses in a 21-count joint trial information approved by the Emmet County District Court,” the Emmet County Sheriff’s said in a statement.
