PARKERSBURG, Iowa — Police say a 24-year-old man charged with murdering a prominent Iowa high school football coach was supposed to have been taken to a hospital psychiatric ward after leading police on a car chase.
Cedar Falls Police Chief Jeff Olson says he was told Butler County Sheriff's deputies would take Mark Becker to the ward after taking a baseball bat to a Cedar Falls home and leading police on a chase Saturday night.
The Sheriff's Office declined to comment on whether deputies took Becker to the ward.
Olson says Becker was released from custody at some point but that his department wasn't notified.
Becker is charged with first-degree murder in the Wednesday slaying of Aplington-Parkersburg High School football coach Ed Thomas. Authorities say Becker, a former player, walked into the high school weight room and unloaded several shots into Thomas in front of some current players.

Wide right! Wide right!
Attack me again and I'll stick this where the sun dont shine.
Actions sound similar to a previous football player from my area. He jumped the gates at the airport and then went through the window onto the tarmac. When taken into custody he bit off the finger of a guard.
He was on STEROIDS. He was taken to the mental institution.
Sooo....the deputies were too busy taking a baseball bat to a Cedar falls home to take Becker to the ward?
What an idiotic sentence.
Typical though, for the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation.
The coach sounds like he was a wonderful man. Prayers for his friends and family.
