Officials with the Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB), this past week, dismissed a complaint filed by a patron of the Red Oak Community School District, that alleged the district failed to provide adequate notice for a meeting of its School Improvement Advisory Committee, or SIAC. According to the Daily NonPareil, the complaint, which was filed by Red Oak resident Margaret Stoldorf, alleged the district failed to provide a 24-hour notice to the media about the meeting, which was held in January.

Police in Red Oak arrested a woman from Kansas early this (Saturday) morning. 33-year old Tiffany Deanna Wheat, of Paola, KS., was arrested following a traffic stop at around 12:15-a.m.  She was charged with OWI/1st offense, and unlawful possession of a prescription medication. Wheat was cited for failure to carry a registration card, failure to obey a traffic control device, speeding, and opening container.

She was being held at the Montgomery County Law Enforcement Center on a $1,000 cash bond.

Authorities say a woman from Elliott was arrested Friday afternoon, following a traffic stop. 20-year old Sarah Beth Ewing was pulled over in the 3000 block of 110th Street at around 4:50-p.m., and charged with Driving While Suspended, with five withdrawals in effect. Ewing was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $300 bond.

A woman from Shenandoah was injured during a single-vehicle accident Friday evening. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says 20-year old Tracy Loren Jackson was traveling north in the 1550 block of N Avenue at around 5:50-p.m., when she lost control of the 2007 Chevy Cobalt she was driving.

The car entered the east ditch and came to rest after striking a field drive. Jackson complained of neck and back pain afterward, and was transported to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital by Red Oak Rescue.

The car was a total loss. Authorities say speed and defective tires likely contributed to the crash.
