(Oakland, Iowa) – A Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Deputy on patrol at around 8:20-p.m., Sunday, saw a car traveling west on Linden Avenue out of Oakland, and noticed the vehicle’s taillights weren’t illuminated. When he attempted a traffic stop, the 2008 Honda Accord took off and led the Deputy on a pursuit. Stop sticks were deployed, causing the vehicle’s tires to deflate and making the car undrivable. The car eventually stopped, and the driver, 35-year-old Joshua Lloyd Long, of Council Bluffs, was taken into custody without further incident. He faces charges that include: Reckless Driving; 2 counts of Driving While License denied/suspended or revoked; Possession of Marijuana/1st offense; Eluding; Possession of Burglary tools; 2 counts Violation of Probation; Criminal Mischief in the 2nd Degree, and for being a person ineligible to carry dangerous weapons.
