Page County Sheriff Lyle Palmer reports the arrest Sunday night of a Shenandoah man on an assault charge. 20-year old Steven Thomas Shane was arrested for Simple Assault in connection with an incident involving a 17-year old male. Officials say while deputies were enroute to a residence in Coin after being notified of the alleged assault, they received word Shane had left the scene.  He was stopped a short time later and taken into custody, about half-way between Coin and Shenandoah.

Steven Shane was transported to the Page County Jail and later posted bond before being released. The Iowa State Patrol assisted in handling the incident.
