Marty Tirrell was covered up for a very very long time, mostly out of embarrassment by some who also were swindled.

I remember every local station/publication had a story about Frank Scaglione EXCEPT for KCCI, who just quietly erased anything related to him.
Outside of Marty Tirrell which was a federal case, only the DUIs from Sonya Heitshusen and Erik Wheater, just over a decade ago, got any sort of air time in print, TV, or radio.
That's not true. There are 3 categories of misdemeanor in Iowa, and 2 of them always have arrests (Serious and Aggravated). Simple misdemeanors occasionally have arrests, but also include simple traffic tickets (scheduled violations).
Outside of scheduled violations, I would say the majority of misdemeanors include an arrest.
I remember when he was arrested for prostitution. Miller was on the air with Tirrell. They did talk about it but not in great detail. Tommy is still in the air regularly with Miller and Condon as he is their iCu s guy and general baseball expert.
2015. Just search Tommy Birch arrested and several stories come up about it. Was a big sting that had 20 arrests.
Ok, while the bolded is an accurate statement, I was including all misdemeanors, not just serious and aggravated. Which makes my statement accurate and was the point of my response to the poster I was responding to. The reason this is getting any exposure is because of the nature of the incident combined with it being a public figure
If there is a Masonic lodge for Idiots, Keith Murphy has advanced to the 12th degree. He said on Twitter that Iowa would have been better off with a $25 million fine like Michigan than vacating four wins.
What is Miller talking about here? I know he loves to call out ISU - related posts on CF and twitter. Apparently he draws the line at doing the same for hok fans. At least I’ve never heard him.

Maybe he and TB can do a radio show or podcast from jail
So Birch is quietly back on the Iowa Cubs and ISU WBB beat? Same playbook as after the prostitution bust of having him be quiet for a month or so and then slide back in with no acknowledging what happened?
I guess not too surprising considering what a trash publication the DMR has turned into over the years. I mean this is the same paper that once employed someone that wrote a hit piece story trashing Carson King over some tweets he made as a stupid kid years before he wound up raising millions for a children's hospital just for holding up a funny sign at Gameday. Basically took the focus off all the good he was doing in the moment to focus on something he tweeted years before that had nothing to do with the good thing he had inspired. Then after all the outrage that came from that hit piece the editor doubled down and stood behind the trash hit piece and defended why they published it.
Hope Tommy is getting the help he needs to get his life back together for a 2nd time now, but at the same time it's a little shocking he's been able to keep his job for a 2nd time now when many others in local media have been let go for their blunders over the years. Not that anyone outside of central Iowa would probably know who he is I guess but others in the local media here have been let go or publicly embarrassed by stories published about their mishaps.

My wife likes to point out that every long term monogamous relationship is based on the idea of exchanging some commodity for sex
