Multiple agencies, including the Jasper County Sheriff's Office, Iowa State Patrol and a regional tactical team, helped set up a perimeter before determining the threat was not real.

Police are calling this a swatting incident, a dangerous hoax that puts residents and first responders at risk. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to contact Newton Police. Swatting is a felony in Iowa. Visit https://bit.ly/4wMUeFn for more information.

Lucy's Pet Pantry is beginning a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program for cats in Newton. TNR is a widely used, humane method for managing community cat populations. Cats are trapped, spayed or neutered, and returned to the area where they were found. As this program begins, residents should know that any outdoor cat without identification, such as a collar or ear tip, may be trapped as part of this effort. Cat owners who let their pets outdoors are encouraged to make sure their cats have visible identification to avoid confusion during the process.
