The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports a Shelby County man was arrested Tuesday evening on a warrant for Probation Violation. 27-year old Jonathan Anthony Montoya, of Earling, was taken into custody following a traffic stop in Walnut.

Wednesday afternoon, a Pott. County Sheriff’s Deputy arrested a man from Illinois, for being a Fugitive From Justice. 29-year old Raymond Portner, of Crystal Lake, IL., was arrested following a traffic stop for speeding and another moving violation. A records check indicated he was wanted out of Clay County, Missouri. Portner was booked into the Pottawattamie County Jail.

And, a pursuit Wednesday afternoon, resulted in a crash and the arrest of a Shenandoah man. The Pott. County Sheriff’s Office says 34-year old Brian Joseph Freemont, of Shenandoah, was charged with Eluding and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Authorities say a deputy in the median of Interstate 29 at mile marker 57, noticed a gold Ford Taurus drive by with no plates or in-transit tags. The vehicle also had extremely dark window tint.

As he turned his cruiser around to conduct a traffic stop, the Taurus sped up and ultimately rear-ended a Chevy Equinox. The collision disabled the car. The driver, identified as Freemont was arrested on the aggravated eluding charge. A female passenger in the vehicle, 30-year old Starr Selene Walker, of Winnebago, NE., was arrested for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Two glass pipes containing a white residue were taken into evidence.
