(Glenwood, Iowa) – The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports a man from Malvern was arrested Tuesday evening. 71-year-old James Edward Pontow was arrested at around 6-p.m., for Driving While Barred.

Deputies investigated an incident that resulted in property damage, Wednesday afternoon. Authorities say 48-year-old John Lindeman, of Defiance, was backing a 2020 Kenworth semi tractor-trailer up a driveway at 21505 Eastman Road at around 4:45-p.m., after he improperly turned down the driveway. The truck was unable to gain traction on the gravel road, and was privately towed back to Eastman Road.

The Sheriff’s Office said the semi’s actions caused significant ruts and damage to the gravel driveway that had just been resurfaced by the homeowner. Lindeman told Deputies that his GPS told him to use the driveway as he was delivering goods, but he realized too late that the address was not correct, and he was unable to back-up on the driveway. No citations were issued.
