Case No. 21-1946

Kirk Howsare and Austin Howsare
v.
Iowa District Court for Polk County

Kirk and Austin Howsare were granted certiorari review of the district court’s orders denying their motions to dismiss their simple-misdemeanor charges for assault. The Howsares argue the magistrate’s arrest warrant denying bond until initial appearance does not comply with Iowa Code section 804.3. The Howsares further argue the custodial detention violated their statutory and constitutional rights because they were not taken before an available judge without unnecessary delay.
