Iowa building owner pleads guilty as demolition begins.

The owner of The Davenport, the Iowa building that partially collapsed on Memorial Day weekend, pleaded guilty to a civil infraction for not maintaining safe conditions. Andrew Wold was ordered to pay a $300 fine and $95 in court costs, and to refrain from any violations of Davenport, Iowa code provisions. His attorney called the judge instead of appearing in person and said that Wold would plead no contest, but city officials later clarified that there was no arrangement and did not object to the guilty plea.
