The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports a Nebraska man was arrested Tuesday evening on an Audubon County warrant, following an investigation into a person living in a vacant home southwest of Avoca. A Deputy was dispatched to a residence in the 40,000 block of Sumac Road at around 4-p.m., after the home’s owner called authorities saying the residence should be vacant, and that a family member may be there without permission.

The Deputy made contact with 40-year old Patrick Eugene Petersen, of Omaha. A records check indicated Petersen was wanted on a warrant out of Audubon County for Failure to Appear in Court for a compliance hearing, on an original charge of Eluding. Petersen was booked into the Pott. County Jail pending extradition to Audubon County.

The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports also, 38-year old Kirk Thomas Ring, of Underwood, was arrested Monday night for Obstruction of an Emergency Communication device, following an investigation into a disturbance in Underwood. Officials say a Deputy made contact with Ring’s father, who said Kirk and his girlfriend wouldn’t stop arguing. The father advised the Deputy that when he told his son he was going to call 9-1-1, Kirk took his phone away. A neighbor ended-up calling in the verbal disturbance.
