In an update to our story Sunday morning (and earlier today) about a rollover accident Sunday in Cass County, authorities say a Montgomery County man was arrested on a charge of OWI/1st offense. 22-year old Timothy Alan Carlson, of Elliott, was also cited for Failure to Maintain Control.

Sheriff’s officials say the accident happened on Osage Road just west of 550th Street southwest of Lewis, at around 1:38-a.m. A Cass County Sheriff’s Deputy arrived to find a 2003 Ford F-250 pickup that had rolled several times before coming to rest in a farm field. The driver – identified as Carlson – was examined at the scene by Griswold Rescue personnel, but refused transport the hospital.

Carlson was taken to the Cass County Jail where he was released later that day on his own recognizance. Damage to Carlson’s vehicle is estimated at $10,000. Damage to crops in the field is estimated at $250.
