DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Nebraska and Iowa rank high on a list of states with what are described as some of the worst puppy mills. A report from the Humane Society of the United States says Nebraska ranks third on “The Horrible Hundred 2015” list, with 14 of the breeders. Iowa ranks fourth with 11 breeders on the list. The list was led by Missouri, with 23, and Kansas, with 16.

The society says its list doesn’t include all of the worst breeders. The Des Moines Register reports that a puppy mill is described by the Humane Society as “an inhumane, commercial dog-breeding facility in which the health of the dogs is disregarded in order to maintain a low overhead and maximize profits.”

Three people were arrested recently, in Creston. The Creston Police Dept. reports 50-year old Robby Carter, of Creston, was arrested at around 10:45-p.m. Sunday, for OWI/1st Offense. Carter was later released from the Union County Jail, on $1,000 bond. Also arrested Sunday, in Creston, was 46-year old Christopher Selvy, of Creston, who was charged with Public Intoxication and Domestic Abuse/Simple Assault. Selvy was later released from custody on $300 bond.

And, last Friday, Creston Police arrested 41-year old Luke Johnson, of Creston, on a Union County warrant for Probation Violation. Johnson was later released from the jail on a $2,000 bond.

An accident in Harrison County Sunday night resulted in one person being sent to the hospital. The Iowa State Patrol reports 53-year old Marilee Louise Collier, of Missouri Valley, was transported by LifeNet helicopter to Creighton Hospital in Omaha, after the 1998 Ford Taurus she was driving crossed the center-line of Highway 30 and hit the driver’s side of a semi before continuing and striking the dual wheels of the semi’s trailer. Collier was ejected from her car and came to rest on the south shoulder, while her car came to rest in the south ditch.

The semi, a 2009 Freightliner, stopped on the south shoulder of the road. The driver of the rig, 57-year old Merlin Jay Howley, of Sioux City, was not hurt.

The accident happened at around 10:20-p.m., as the car was traveling westbound on Highway 30, and the semi was traveling eastbound, at about the one mile-marker. The crash remains under investigation.
