Onawa Police Monitor Political Rally

Tensions ran high in Monona County yesterday when Mark Jacobs, candidate for Iowa's Senate seat, visited the county seat of Onawa.

Locals feared an outbreak of political protest similar to recent demonstrations in the Ukraine and Argentina.





The entire Onawa Police force was activated and monitored the events from the front booths at the Onawa Cafe.  The Blencoe Police Force was called in to provide reinforcement.

The following video shows the rally in its entirety. (Click HERE if you don't see the video below)

 


Correction:  An earlier version of this story reported "Mark Jacobs supporters turned out in droves."   It should have read "a Mark Jacobs supporter drove by."  We regret the error.
