November 29th, 2022 by Ric Hanson
(Griswold, Iowa) – In an update to our earlier broadcast report, the Cass County Sheriff’s today (Tuesday), reports that at around 7:04-p.m. Monday, Deputies were called to a residential address in Griswold, for a physical Domestic Dispute. While Deputies were arriving they were updated with additional information which indicated that a female, later to be identified as Sherri Young, had been drinking and was leaving their residence in a white Chevrolet Tahoe.
Deputies soon after located Young leaving the scene, while operating this Chevrolet Tahoe in an erratic fashion. The SUV nearly struck a Deputy’s vehicle. Young briefly lost control of her vehicle and struck a separate parked vehicle. She continued driving and entered an open field. Deputies pursued Young through this field with speeds exceeding 50 MPH. Young’s vehicle eventually struck an embankment, disabling the vehicle.
No physical injuries were observed after this incident, but Young was transported to a medical facility by EMS. The case remains under investigation with potential criminal charges pending. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Griswold Fire and Rescue, Cass County EMS and Iowa State Patrol.
