He was arrested with the assistance of the Cass County Sheriff’s Department, and booked into the Cass County Jail.

The A-PD says also, no injuries were reported following two accidents that occurred Tuesday. Officials say Patricia Mundorf, of Atlantic, was cited for having No Proof of Insurance, following a collision between her vehicle and a parked vehicle registered to Dick Cook, of Atlantic.

Authorities say vehicles driven by Alan Schulz, of Atlantic, and Paula Christian, of Baxter, were traveling west on Highway 6 at around 1:10-p.m., when Christian stopped for a red light at the intersection with 71. Schulz failed to stop in time, and struck the back of Christian’s vehicle, causing a total of $1,900 damage. Schulz was cited for Failure to Maintain Control/Reduce Speed.
