September 22nd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports four separate arrests, Thursday. At around 6:30-p.m., 40-year old John James Ring, of Underwood, was arrested in Underwood on an active warrant for Failure to Appear in Court on an original charge of OWI/2nd offense, and for Violation of a Protection Order concerning his father.

28-year old Rebecca Pick, of Treynor, was arrested at around 5-p.m. Thursday, on charges that include Domestic Assault and Driving While Barred. She was taken into custody after deputies were dispatched to a residence in the 2400 block of Longview Drive in Council Bluffs, for a possible assault. The victim, Pick’s 28-year old ex-boyfriend, reported to authorities that Pick was on location at the property in a vehicle, and that she had just allegedly assault him. The victim did not appear to be injured, according to the Sheriff’s report.

And, at around 9:15-a.m. Thursday, 54-year old Scott Ivan Boyer, of Neola, was arrested on warrants for Domestic Abuse Assault with intent, and Reckless use of firearms without injury. Boyer turned himself-in to the Sheriff’s Office and was transported to the Pott. County Jail without incident.

As we’ve previously mentioned, taken into custody without incident at around 12:15-p.m. Thursday, was 37-year old Eric Guy Scott, of Hooper, NE. Scott was an escapee from Dodge County, Nebraska authorities. Officials say Scott was being transported by a Dodge County Sheriff’s Deputy in an unmarked government car on Wednesday when he slipped his handcuffs and used his leg-iron chain to choke the deputy, who was driving. Scott then gained control of the car, shoving the deputy out. Scott was arrested Thursday after he was found walking near the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office. Officials found the Dodge County deputy’s service weapon, a Glock .40 calibur handgun, on Scott, when he was arrested.

Eric Scott agreed during a court hearing today (Friday) in Council Bluffs to be sent back to Nebraska to face charges related to the escape. Scott was serving two to four years for fifth-offense drunken driving conviction when he escaped. In Pottawattamie County, he faces charges that include Fugitive From Justice, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and Theft in the 3rd degree.
