In an update to our story last Friday, the Cass County Sheriff’s Office today (Tuesday), says 28-year old Donte Lee Plunkett, of Omaha, was arrested following an accident that took place northwest of Atlantic at around 12:19-a.m., Friday.
Officials say the crash happened at 590th Street (Highway 173) and Marne Road, when a 1995 Nissan Maxima owned and driven by Plunkett, came to the T-intersection and failed to stop. The southbound car went out of control and entered a grassy area on the south side of the intersection, hit a pole and an apple tree. No injuries were reported. Damage amounted to $2,000 altogether.
Plunkett was arrested on charges of OWI 1st Offense and Possession of a Controlled Substance. He was taken to the Cass County Jail where he was released later that day on his own recognizance.
