A quarrel between family members late Sunday night in Clarinda led to the arrest of two people. Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers says officers were dispatched to 312 North 20th Street at around 11:15-p.m.  The officers were sent to investigate a report that 38-year old  Jason William McCollum, who lives at the address, had been threatened with a handgun during a family quarrel.

Police subsequently arrested 23-year old Tera Dawn Lutz, of Clarinda, for going armed with intent, aggravated assault, and illegal carrying of a concealed weapon. The complaint alleges the woman displayed a handgun during a family quarrel. Brothers said his officers also arrested 56-year old Terry Lynn Layne, for aggravated assault.

An investigation determined Layne and McCollum reside at the residence and had been involved in an argument earlier in the day on Sunday, and that Layne had eventually left the residence. Layne and Lutz returned to the residence later in the day on Sunday to retrieve some personal property at which time Lutz allegedly displayed a handgun and pointed it at the male who resides at the residence.

McCollum was not injured during the incident and no shots were fired. A small caliber handgun that was believed to have been used by Lutz was recovered. Lutz and Layne were taken into custody without incident. They were booked into the Page County Jail and held on $5,000 bond, pending an appearance before the Page County Magistrate. The matter has been referred to the Page County Attorney’s office for review and the filing of formal charges.
