The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest on Saturday, of 38-year old James William Bates, from Shenandoah. Bates was taken into custody for OWI/1st offense. His bond was set at $1,000.

The Sheriff’s Office said also, no serious injuries were reported following a rollover accident late Friday night. Authorities say Brady Smith, of Emerson,was driving a 2006 Ford truck eastbound on Marh Avenue, towards the intersection with 390th Street, when he swerved to miss a deer on the road. Smith told authorities when he took evasive action and applied the anti-lock brakes, they failed, causing the vehicle to fishtail and go out of control. The truck entered the south ditch and rolled over before coming to rest on its top.

Smith was able to free himself from the vehicle and walk to a neighbors house. He denied any injuries, except for suffering from some shoulder pain. No citations were issued.
