The Harlan Police Department has released a report on arrested that have taken place over the past week. Last Friday, 27-year old Jacob Bernal, of Harlan, was arrested after officers were called to serve notification that he was trespassing on a property in the 900 block of Laurel Street.  Bernal was taken to the Shelby County Jail where he was charged with providing false information to law enforcement when he signed a fictitious name on the no trespass order. And, 45-year old Frankie Jo Garren, of Irwin, was arrested Friday for public intoxication when she arrived at the Shelby County Jail to serve time.  Jailers suspected Garren was intoxicated and called officers to determine if she was indeed intoxicated. 18-year old Austin Foss, of Harlan, was taken into custody Friday also, following a traffic stop.  Foss was transported to the Shelby County Jail where he was charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and cited for failure to maintain control.

And, on Dec. 13th, Harlan Police arrested 18-year old Cameron Jacobsen, of Harlan,  following an investigation by Harlan officers who were called in reference to a missing juvenile.  Jacobsen was taken to the Shelby County Jail where he was charged with interference with official acts.  The juvenile was located and cited for a curfew violation.

Harlan Police said also, no injuries were reported following two separate accidents, Friday. In one incident, Ann Hansen, of Harlan, was driving a 2013 Chevrolet and traveling in the west lane of the west driveway of the Harlan Hy-Vee. A 2007 Ford driven by Alan Schmitz, of Harlan, was in the east lane of the same entrance. Schmitz and Hansen were waiting to pull onto Chatburn Avenue, when a 1992 Jeep driven by Preston Russell, of Kirkman tried to turn into the west Hy-Vee driveway and lost control on the ice covered pavement. His Jeep hit the front passenger side of Hansen’s vehicle, bounced off it and into the front passenger side of Schmitz’ vehicle. Damage to all three vehicles amounted to $9,000.

In the second incident, a 2001 Chevy driven by Mark Bieler, of Manilla, was eastbound on Highway 44 in Harlan, Friday, and attempted to stop at the intersection with Highway 59. Due to the ice covered road, Bieler’s vehicle made contact with a 2010 Chevy, driven by Thomas Hosack, of West Des Moines, which was northbound on Highway 59. Damage from the collision amounted to $5,500. Bieler was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop or Yield sign.
