Ames Police have released the name of the man who apparently shot himself as Marshalltown Police officers attempted to serve arrest and search warrants at his Ames residence. The man identified as 47-year old William E. Terry was being investigated on charges of Sexual Exploitation and Inappropriate Sexual Contact between a school employee and a student. Terry was no longer employed by Marshalltown Schools at the time of his apparent suicide on Thursday.

It is the third incident of sexual exploitation between an employee of the Marshalltown Community School District and students reported over the last couple of weeks. Marshalltown Police says the three incidents are NOT related. The School District says counseling services will again be available for students and staff through Thursday of this week.
