The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest early Saturday morning, of a Bellevue, NE., man.  21-year old Bernardo Figueroa Murillo was taken into custody at around 1:40-a.m., and charged with Assault while displaying a weapon, as well as Public Intoxication. His bond at the Mills County Jail, was set at $2,300.

The sheriff’s office says also, no injuries were reported following an accident Friday afternoon at the intersection of Highways 34 & 59. Officials say a 2015 Chevy driven by Ronald Stephens, of Emerson, was stopped at the controlled intersection and signaling to turn right onto Highway 34 eastbound. A 2014 Ford, driven by Gerald Riecks, of Johnston, was behind the Chevy.

Riecks told deputies he looked for oncoming traffic from the west and started to pull out onto Highway 34, when his vehicle hit Stephens’ Chevy. He told authorities he didn’t see the other vehicle, and thought it had already pulled away from the stop sign. A dollar amount of the damage was not listed in the report. No citations were issued.
