Kidnapping charges dropped against 3 NW Iowa men

WALL LAKE (AP) — Kidnapping charges have been dropped against three northwest Iowa men after prosecutors failed to file the formal charges by a state-mandated deadline.

Thomas Schroeder II and Bradley Jacobsen, both of Wall Lake, and Steve Schroeder of Odebolt were arrested last month for allegedly kidnapping and beating a migrant worker, Rafael Trevino, on Aug. 3, 2009.

Iowa law requires prosecutors to file formal charges for most felonies within three years of the crime.
