Here's what's been going on in and around New Prague lately, according to the New Prague Times:

- About a week ago, Rice County District Court charged Anton Steven Metzenhuber, 34, of New Prague with torture of an animal in the death of this neighbor's dog. Buddy, a miniature beagle, had been missing since April 6 and was found in a channel between Cody-Phelps Lake near Lonsdale. A concrete block was tied to the animal. Two weeks ago, the Times reported that the dog was mysteriously drowned and asked for readers' help in solving the case.

Over two years of videos could be evidence in the trial of former Jordan police officer Corey Pudwill.

Pudwill and his lawyer Paul Engh were in court this morning to hear the judges decision on whether or not two years’ worth of tapes from Pudwill’s squad car were admissible as evidence in the case.

Pudwill is charged with criminal sexual conduct after a traffic stop during which a woman alleges he ordered her into the back of his squad car and touched the bra under her sweater.

Scott County District Court Judge Michael A. Fahey's order says that the city of Jordan can, by law, condemn land from St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, because the city plans to construct sidewalks and a stoplight -- not a road -- on the property.
