He was taken into custody following an accident at the intersection of Highway 34 and 310th Street. Michael was traveling west on Highway 34 at around 12:35-a.m., and attempted to turn north, onto 310th Street, when he lost control of his 2009 Pontiac, on the gravel. The car slid through the intersection and into a ditch, hitting and knocking over a stop sign before coming to rest. No injuries were reported.
