Kyle Ricke had only one reason to gun down Algona Police Officer Kevin Cram last year, prosecutor Scott Brown said Thursday: he was "angry with the system." Ricke was convicted Thursday of first-degree murder in Cram's death. On Sept. 13, Cram came to arrest him on an outstanding warrant for allegedly harassing his ex-wife. Two minutes after that, Cram was dead. Jurors in Ricke's trial, moved to Dickinson County because of pretrial publicity, heard — and saw in video footage from Cram's squad car — that Cram told Ricke he would be arrested, but allowed him to park a skid steer loader he was driving first. Brown told jurors that Cram was "polite" and "nice" to Ricke, and paid for it with his life. Tap the link in our bio for more on this story. #Algona #Iowa #police
