The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest on Friday (11/4), of 43-year-old James Leroy Shirley, of Red Oak. Shirley was arrested at around 11:30-p.m. for Driving Under Suspension.

There were two, non-injury accidents over the weekend, in Mills County. Saturday nights, 37-year-old Lacey Cochrane, of Glenwood, was driving a 2021 Ford on 250th Street near Quandt Road, when the vehicle went out of control and into the east ditch, where it rolled over and came to rest on the driver’s side.

Authorities say no one was around, and that the vehicle had been there for a while. They observed alcoholic beverages and coolers thrown from the vehicle, which was a total loss. The registered owner was notified and explained who was driving, resulting in the issuance of a citation.

And, Sunday afternoon, a vehicle driven by 37-year-old Tesha Fritz, of Pacific Junction, was northbound on Levi Road, when the vehicle began to drift onto the shoulder. Fritz over-corrected, causing the vehicle to skid across the road and strike a mail box before coming to rest on its side, in the east ditch.
