The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports a woman from Lorimor was arrested at the Union County Law Enforcement Center Saturday afternoon. 35-year old Katie Loraine Campbell was taken into custody on a Union County warrant for Theft in the 2nd Degree. Campbell was being held for Union County, in the Ringgold County Jail.

And, the Sheriff’s Office says no citations were issued, following an accident that happened at around 2-p.m. Sunday, at Highway 169 and 167th Street. Officials say a 2017 Ford F-250 pickup driven by 85-year old Richard James Ide, of Shannon City, was pulling an empty hay rack and had turned left onto 167th Street. The driver of a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country van, 55-year old David Donald Thomas, of Lorimor, told deputies that he saw the pickup & trailer slowing down, and decided to pass on the left. Ide claimed he was going to slow down and flip on his turn signal, when his pickup was struck by the van. A passenger in Thomas’s van, 43-year old Jamie Rene Thomas, of Lorimor, said she could not see the blinker because of the empty hay rack, yet when the deputy sat in the same seat, he could tell the hay rack was not blocking view of the turn signal. Jamie Thomas complained of pain and was transported by private vehicle to the Winterset Hospital, to be evaluated and treated, as necessary.

Damage from the collision amounted to $10,000 for the pickup/trailer, and $5,000 for the van.
