The Mills County Sheriff’s Office, Monday, said two people were arrested over the weekend. On Saturday, 56-year old Verner Jay Moore, of Emerson, was arrested for Domestic Abuse Assault and Obstruction of Emergency Communications. His bond was set at $1,300. And, on Sunday, 41-year old Justin David Rhea, of Council Bluffs, was arrested for OWI/2nd offense, and Driving Under Suspension. His bond was set at $2,300.

Three accidents were reported in Mills County, as well, with injuries resulting from one of the incidents. Officials say at around 1:50-p.m. Friday, vehicles driven by Jonathan Cochran, of Bellevue, NE., and Logan Allen, of Glenwood, collided in the 5600 block of 221st Street, as a 2015 Dodge driven by Allen, was traveling north and making a left turn into a driveway. A 2013 Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by Cochran, was traveling south and saw the Dodge turning. Cochran applied the brakes causing his cycle to skid. The cycle fell onto its side and collided with the Dodge in the southbound lane. The motorcycle hit a trailer being pulled by the Dodge, that was loaded with horses. Cochran was transported by Glenwood Rescue to a hospital in Council Bluffs, for treatment.
