Authorities in Union County say a man wanted for the attempted murder of a Creston woman Wednesday morning was arrested and is being held in the Union County Jail in Creston.

The woman was taken to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston for treatment. Her name, and a report on her condition, is not available.
