The Mills County Sheriff’s Office is reporting three arrests and two accidents took place this week. On Monday, 39-year old Joseph Corey Jack, a homeless man, was arrested at the Mills County Sheriff’s Office on a warrant for Probation Violation. His bond was set at $5,000. Tuesday afternoon (as mentioned in a previous report), 52-year old Gregory Alan Neemann, of  Omaha, NE., was arrested following a traffic stop, for Possession of Controlled Substance, Possession of Controlled Substance and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. His bond was set at $7,300.

And, Wednesday afternoon, 33-year old Kristy Lynn Bender, of Council Bluffs, was arrested for Possession of Controlled Substance and on five counts of Unlawful Possession of a Prescription Drug. Her bond was set at $7,000.

Three people were transported to Jenny Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs following a rollover accident at around 11:47-p.m. Tuesday. The Mills County Sheriff’s Office says a 2006 Dodge driven by 22-year old Jacklin Cherry, of Omaha, was traveling north on Interstate 29, when Cherry attempted to take the 35-mile marker exit to westbound Highway 34. Authorities said she was driving too fast to maneuver through the curved exit ramp, and lost control of the vehicle.

The Dodge went off the road and rolled several times before coming to rest on its wheels. Jacklin Cherry and her passengers, 22-year old Del-Shonna Griffin, of Kansas City, MO., and 20-year old Isis Griffin, of Omaha, were all transported to the hospital. Glenwood and Pacific Junction Rescue assisted at the scene.

Separately, no injuries were reported following an accident Wednesday evening, in Mills County. Officials say a 2010 Ford driven by 18-year old Colton Book, of Glenwood, was traveling west on Kane Avenue at around 7:15-p.m. When he reached for his sunglasses to shade his eyes from the sun’s glare, the Ford crossed the center line of the road and collided with a 1999 Ford driven by Kenneth Nebitt, of Glenwood, as he was traveling east on Kane Avenue. Nebbit saw Book’s vehicle on the wrong side of the road and slowed down. He  also honked his horn to get Book’s attention, but he was unable to avoid the collision. Book was cited for Failure to Yield half of the roadway.
