A Pottawattamie County man arrested last month on felony eluding, OWI and Reckless Driving charges, is set to be arraigned next month at the Pott. County Courthouse. Trial for 26-year old Joseph Charles Harter, of Crescent, was set for October 18th.

The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office says just before 1-a.m. July 17th, a deputy on patrol saw a motorcycle driven by Harter driving recklessly, doing wheelies, and traveling over the speed limit, northbound on the Old Lincoln Highway. When the deputy turned around to stop the 1994 Harley Davidson cycle, Harter accelerate to near 100 miles per hour in an attempt to elude the deputy.

Harter finally pulled over at a Casey’s Store in Crescent, and was taken into custody. He was booked into the Pott. County Jail and later posted a $5,000 bond.
