Two people from Nebraska were arrested over the weekend in Mills County. The Mills County Sheriff’s Office says 25-year old Taylor Joseph Hopkins, of Omaha, was arrested at around 10:37-p.m. Saturday for OWI/1st offense, following an accident investigation. Officials say Hopkins was traveling north on 221st Street when he came to a sharp corner. He told authorities he thought his 1998 Lexus was sliding in the turn before it went out of control, entered the west ditch and rolled over near Green Hill Farms. The car came to rest on its top. Hopkins denied being injured and refused medical treatment. Authorities say speed and alcohol impairment were the reasons for the crash. Hopkins admitted he had some mixed drinks earlier in the day, while attending a wedding. He was transported to the Mills County Jail where he was charged with OWI and Failure to Maintain Control. His bond was set at $1,000.

And, 20-year old Carolina Gallegos, of Omaha, was arrested at around 12:30-a.m. Sunday, of Possession of a Controlled Substance (PCS) and PCS in a Correctional Facility. She was being held in the Mills County Jail on $10,000 bond.
