Clear Lake Mirror Reporter

A semi driver involved in an accident which killed a former Clear Lake resident on the Avenue of the Saints has received a deferred judgment.

Austin James Lesher, 50, of Layton, Utah, was cited for failure to maintain control after a crash east of Mason City in early 2015 that killed Amy Hild, of Rockford.  Hild, the daughter of Steven and Debra Hild, was a 2005 graduate of Clear Lake High School.

An arrest has been made in the case of extensive damage caused to a Clear Lake home.

Christopher Larson, 31, of West Des Moines, Iowa was arrested on warrant in Polk County and brought to the Cerro Gordo County Jail on charges of first-degree criminal mischief.  His bond is set at $10,000.

Larson allegedly cut electrical cords, furniture and car tires at 705 South Shore Drive around midnight on April 28, causing nearly $28,000 worth of damage.
