The incident took place during a verbal altercation in an alley behind a local bar.

Atlantic Police report two accidents occurred over the holiday weekend, one of which resulted in minor injuries. An accident Thursday afternoon at 8th and Mulberry Streets caused $3,700 damage, but no one was hurt. Officials say a vehicle driven by Christina Russell, of Atlantic, was backing out of a parking stall at the Valley View Apartments, when her car struck the passenger side of a vehicle traveling west on 8th Street. The driver of the other vehicle was identified as Calvin Krause, of Atlantic. Russell was cited for moving a vehicle backward onto a highway.

The second accident happened Saturday morning near the Nishna Valley YMCA. Authorities say vehicles driven by Austin Van Aernam and Anne Darrow, of Atlantic, were traveling south on Linn Street  just before 8-a.m., and approaching the entrance to the YMCA. Van Aernam failed to stop in time, and ran into the back of Darrow’s vehicle, causing a total of $3,100 damage. Darrow, and a passenger in her car complained of neck pain and were checked out by Medivac personnel, but refused transport to the hospital. Van Aernam was cited by police for Failure to Maintain Control.

Griswold School District Superintendent Dana Kunze said today that the students and staff at the Lewis Elementary building were evacuated for a short time this morning, after a strange, unidentified smell was noticed in and around the building.  The smell was first noticed at around 10-a.m. Kunze says following the procedure for a gas leak evacuation, the students and staff walked to a safe location to await the investigation of the elementary school to be complete.

An employee of Black Hills Energy arrived within minutes,  and eliminated the possibility a natural gas leak had occurred. With the building cleared and the odor having dissipated students and staff were allowed to return to the building at 10:45-a.m. Kunze says the source of the odor was a combination of “agriculturally-related,” and a dry drain. He says when drains dry-up, the trap system doesn’t work as it should, so there was an internal smell.

Kunze says the evacuation went perfectly. Parents were notified of the incident through the school’s text message alert system.

Authorities in Pottawattamie County are asking for your help in locating the person or persons responsible for a break-in early Friday morning at the Oakland Pharmacy. Sheriff Jeff Danker says an alarm was activated at the business at 12:22-a.m.  Missing from the pharmacy were the painkillers Morphine, Methadone, and Oxycodone. Danker told KJAN News it appears the persons responsible for the break-in only wanted the narcotics, because they targeted those items and left as quickly as possible.

No other items or cash were taken. Danker says the burglar made entry to the store through the front door. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call the Pott County Sheriff’s Office at 712-890-2200.  The sheriff suspects the culprits may try to sell the drugs, as opposed to using them for their personal benefit.
