Iowa City, Ia (AP)- A long-time republican donor and campaign vendor was awarded millions of dollars in no-bid contracts to supply personal protective equipment to Iowa’s executive branch despite facing a felony charge alleging that he brutally beat a woman.
63-year old David Greenspon, the owner of Competitive Edge, Inc., is charged with willful injury causing serious injury in the Nov. 25th altercation at his Wes Des Moines mansion. Police allege that he kicked and struck a 37-year-old woman repeatedly in the head and face, chipping her front tooth and bruising her ribs.
The woman, who was on the floor and intoxicated, recorded part of the alleged attack on her cellphone. Police arrested Greenspon two weeks later after reviewing the video.
