No injuries were reported following a single-vehicle accident Tuesday afternoon, in Page County. Sheriff’ Lyle Palmer says 20-year old Jennifer Leann Blackburn, of Clarinda, was traveling west on 230th near Juniper Avenue at around 1:30-p.m., when she lost control of her 2003 Pontiac Grand Am. The car slid off the road and into a ditch, where it hit a utility pole belonging to Atchison Holt Electric Company.

Damage from the crash amounted to $5,000. No charges have been filed at this time.

Authorities in Montgomery County have charged a man with Child Endangerment following an incident that took place in a vehicle late this (Wednesday) morning, near Red Oak. 21-year old Jacob W. Avery, of Imogene, was a passenger in a vehicle who was allegedly involved in an altercation in the vehicle, sometime after 11-a.m.

When deputies investigated the alleged altercation, they were told Avery had left the vehicle, but he was located a short distance away. During the investigation, it was determined that as a passenger in the vehicle, Avery allegedly rapidly applied the brakes, causing the vehicle to skid on the road, and children in the rear seat to be thrown against their restraints.

Avery was taken into custody at around 11:35-a.m. and brought to the Montgomery County Jail without incident. His bond was set at $2,000.
