Estherville, Iowa — Reports say a northwest Iowa police officer is facing a list of more than 80 criminal charges.
The Des Moines Register says Benjamin Scheevel is accused of a host of crimes, including misconduct in office, tax evasion, theft, assault and stalking.
The alleged incidents took place between 2016 and 2020 when Scheevel worked as a police officer in both Armstrong and Estherville. It’s unclear if he still works for either department.
The story says Scheevel faces no-contact orders involving four women. In recent months, the former Armstrong police chief, mayor and three city clerks were all accused of misconduct.
