Man pleads guilty in field vandalism

A man accused of driving onto and damaging the eastern Iowa baseball field made famous by the 1989 movie Field of Dreams has changed his plea to guilty. Dubuque County court records say 21-year-old Austin Pape, of Dyersville, entered the plea Monday, the day his trial was to begin on a felony charge of criminal mischief. His sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 13. Court records say the owner estimated the damage at more than US$5,500.
