A Glenwood man was arrested Saturday, following an investigation into a hit-and-run accident. Authorities say 32-year old Clifford Stoppel was taken into custody on charges of Public Intoxication, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Striking fixtures upon a highway. He was also cited for having no insurance. Bond was set at $900.

The Glenwood P-D says officers were dispatched to the intersection of Sharp and Vine Streets at around 2:10-a.m., Saturday, after receiving word a vehicle had hit a traffic control sign pole. Witnesses said the pole was hit by a red Pontiac that continued east on Sharp Street. The suspect vehicle, a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix, was located at an apartment complex in the 200 block of Sivers Road, in Glenwood. The car had sustained damage to the windshield and hood, and had two flat tires.

Inside the car were multiple open containers of beer. Stoppel, the registered owner, was seen walking along the sidewalk with an open container of liquor. He told police he was driving from his house at 1012 1st Street to a friends apartment, where he had 5-to 6 shots of liquor. He denied drinking prior to driving, but was taken into custody.

Damage from the incident amounted to $8,000.

In unrelated news, Police in Glenwood said the Glenwood Senior Center reported Friday an incident of burglary and criminal mischief. That same day, the Glenwood Public Library had similar incidents take place.
