A Des Moines developer plagued by financial problems is being held in the Marion County Jail.

John Kline turned himself in Sunday on contempt of court charges.

A judge ruled last month Kline must pay his ex-wife more than $180,000 or spend 30 days in jail.

Kline is also awaiting trial on bank and wire fraud charges, stemming from business transactions between 2004 and 2006. He faces up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine if found guilty on two charges of bank fraud and seven counts of wire fraud.

ALTOONA LAWSUIT: Justin Pollard Wants $14 Million

Submitted by WHO-TV Web Staff
Friday, May 11th, 2012, 2:05pm

Court documents show an Altoona man charged twice – and acquitted – in the death of 46-year-old Annamarie Rittman is seeking $14 million in a lawsuit against the city of Altoona.

Justin Pollard was accused of running down Rittman with his truck in the parking lot of an Altoona Lowe’s on December 27th, 2005. He was originally charged in 2006, but those charges were thrown out after it was determined sped-up surveillance video from the parking lot was inadmissible as evidence.

Pollard was charged again but following a 2010 trial, was acquitted.

Pollard is suing the city of Altoona, two police officers and a video expert. Lawyers for the city filed a motion Wednesday asking a judge to force Pollard to answer questions relating to the lawsuit.
