COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say a 25-year old man from New Mexico was slightly injured after jumping into the Missouri River near a casino in Council Bluffs early this (Monday) morning. Police say the incident occurred around 2-a.m., after the man who was described as extremely intoxicated, was barred from the Ameristar Casino.

The casino called him a cab, but he later jumped into the river, but authorities talked him into coming back out. The man, who suffered from slight hypothermia, was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication. His name has not yet been released.

In an update to our report Sunday afternoon, the Cass County Sheriff’s Office today (Monday), said a Lewis man was transported by Griswold Rescue to the Cass County Memorial Hospital following a single vehicle accident late Sunday morning. Officials say 81-year old Marlowe William Weppler was hurt, when the 2008 Chevy 1500 pickup he was driving, went out of control on left Oxford Road at around 11-a.m., and entered the south ditch. Damage to the vehicle is estimated at $8,000.

Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater…who normally has a pretty lengthy, weekly report…says the past week was comparatively, “Pretty boring.” The Sheriff says two “new” inmates this past week, 49-year old Michelle Renee Evans, of Bridgewater, and 30-year old Vincent Ray Bentley, of Lorimor, were simply serving short sentences at the Adair County Jail in Greenfield, while the third, 35-year old James Sims, of Bridgewater, was cited for Driving Under Suspension, following a traffic stop. Sims was released at the scene. Evans was released from custody last Friday, while Bentley was released Sunday afternoon.

Police in Creston say an Adams County man was arrested Sunday morning, following a traffic stop. 21-year old Reggie Perrin, of Corning, was stopped at the intersection of Townline and Sumner Streets at around 4-a.m., Sunday. He was taken into custody for OWI/1st offense and brought to the Union County Jail before being released later on $1,000 bond.
