News

February 27th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

A traffic stop in Red Oak early this (Friday) morning resulted in two arrests. Red Oak Police say the driver, 28-year old Jeffrey Allen McClarnon, of Clarinda, was arrested at around 5:30-a.m. in the 700 block of North Broadway, for driving while suspended. He was also cited for having no insurance. A passenger in the vehicle, 26-year old Joshua Grady Washburn, of Council Bluffs, was found to be in possession of a controlled substance/marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. He was taken into custody on those charges.

Since his record shows prior convictions for controlled substance violations, Washburn was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance/3rd or subsequent offense. He was also found to be wanted on a Taylor County warrant for Failure to Appear in court on a Possession of Marijuana charge.

McClarnon was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $300 cash bond, while Washburn was being held on $1,000 cash bond and on the Taylor County warrant.
