The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office reports two people suffered non-life threatening injuries during a two-vehicle accident this (Monday) morning, about a mile north of Corley. Officials say 31-year old Salvador Anguiano, of Omaha, and 30-year old Justin Andersen, of Harlan, were transported by Medivac Ambulance to Myrtue Memorial Hospital following the crash on Highway 59, at around 6:45-a.m.

According to authorities, a 2002 Honda driven by Anguiano was traveling north on Highway 59 when it went out of control due to the icy road conditions, and was hit by Andersen’s 2005 Dodge Stratus, in the southbound lane of travel.

Both vehicle were totaled in the crash. Anguiano was cited for Failure to Maintain Control.

A pair of Atlantic residents were arrested Saturday on Cass County warrants for Making Firearms available to persons under age, and Possession of a Controlled Substance, which tested positive for marijuana. 36-year old Heather Cox, and 37-year old Michael Stutzman were booked into the Cass County Jail. Stutzman faces an additional charge of Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Atlantic Police Chief Steve Green says the charges are the result of an investigation which revealed the couple had a loaded handgun in their closet and a loaded rifle under the bed, neither of which were secured to prevent a child from injuring themselves if they came into contact with the weapons.

Atlantic Police report also, the arrest on Sunday, of 24-year old Damion Selders, of Atlantic, on a 4th degree theft charge, and 57-year old Blaine Buchanan, of Atlantic, for Public Intoxication, 2nd offense. Both men were booked into the Cass County Jail.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Charges of election misconduct filed against three Council Bluffs residents have been dismissed.  Albert Harte-Maxwell and his wife, Linda, were charged in September after prosecutors alleged they registered to vote even though they aren’t U.S. citizens.  They hold Canadian citizenship. Their attorney, David Richter, says prosecutors moved to dismiss the charges last week. Court records entered on Thursday indicate a judge approved the motion.

Richter has argued that Iowa’s voter registration form violates state law because the size and color of the printing isn’t consistent. Before a judge could rule on whether the form is legal, prosecutors dismissed the charges.

Similar charges against Maria Ayon-Fernandez, a citizen of Mexico, also were dismissed.   The charges were filed amid Secretary of State Matt Schultz’s effort to fight voter fraud.
