Lawmaker Threatened

A western Iowa lawmaker says he was forced to pull a gun on a man in self-defense. Clel Baudler, a Representative from Greenfield, says he was being threatened over the phone then physically confronted by a man this weekend.

Baudler hit the man in the face with a handgun. Baudler says David Whetstone was angry over allegations Whetstone was abused in a county jail, and Baudler hadn't followed up on his complaints. Whetstone plead guilty to disorderly conduct. The lawmaker is a retired state trooper and is licensed to carry a gun
