The Atlantic Police Department today (Tuesday) reports two arrests over the past few days and two accidents. On Sunday, 21-year old Curtis McCoy, of Atlantic, was arrested on a Cass County warrant for Possession of a Controlled Substance, and on Friday, 30-year old Gwen Vanderhoof, of Atlantic, was arrested on a charge of Public Intoxication. Both subjects were booked into the Cass County Jail.

An accident Sunday morning at 7th and Chestnut Streets in Atlantic caused $13,500, but no one was injured. Officials say vehicles driven by Peter Smith and Nancy Reynolds, both of Atlantic, collided at around 10:30-a.m., when Reynolds failed to obey a stop light. She was subsequently cited for the infraction.

And on Saturday, vehicles driven by Jessica Mack and Joseph Fredericksen, both of Atlantic, collided at 7th and Linn Streets, at around 1:15-p.m. The P-D says Fredericksen was cited for having no proof of insurance, after his vehicle rear-ended the Mack vehicle after she lost control on the icy road as she applied her brakes. Her vehicle’s rear end spun around and was hit by Fredericksen’s vehicle on the right side. Damage from the collision amounted to $7,100.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Inmates at the Woodbury County Jail in northwest Iowa will have to survive without cable television. Sheriff Dave Drew says Cable One had provided free cable service to the jail for 24 years. But he says the company has decided to soon start charging the jail $68 a month. The cable was turned off on Friday.

Drew told county supervisors on Monday that he’ll have an antenna bought and installed so the jail’s television can pick up free channels. He says a federal court ruling requires that jails provide inmates with television entertainment.

The Cass County Board of Supervisors will meet in a regular session, Wednesday. During their 8:30-a.m. meeting at the Courthouse in Atlantic, the Board will act on approving the appointment of a Deputy County Recorder.

Other action items include: Allowing or disallowing military exemptions and homestead credit applications (including Disabled Veteran’s Homestead Tax Credits) for taxes collectible in Fiscal year 2015-16; Setting the date for a hearing on an amendment of the FY 2015 County Budget; and, possible action following discussion, with regard to Medical Insurance, for FY 2016.

The Board is also expected to receive a demonstration of the Avaya VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocal) telephone system.
