Prosecutors: Keep Iowa Manager Jailed
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Prosecutors say a former slaughterhouse manager should stay in jail because he’s a flight risk.
They told a federal judge at a hearing Wednesday for Sholom Rubashkin that after he was arrested last week on bank fraud charges, agents found about $20,000 in cash and silver coins packed along with passports in a travel bag in his bedroom.
Prosecutors also allege he tried to tamper with evidence when he was released from jail after earlier charges of harboring illegal immigrants and document fraud. Rubashkin, former CEO at Agriprocessors, pleaded not guilty to those charges.
The judge will rule Thursday on whether Rubashkin should remain in jail.
The company also operated a plant near Gordon, Neb., which has been closed because of the company problems.
