Here are the top three stories in Des Moines today: The Des Moines Police Department made an announcement today denying a vast majority of the allegations in a lawsuit that was filed on Wednesday.

The department admitted some "inappropriate conduct" but nothing criminal. (Des Moines Register)Hoover High School will not have a varsity football program next year due to a low number of players.
