Sheriff’s officials in Pottawattamie County say a man from Carson was arrested Tuesday evening, following a domestic disturbance. 56-year old Mark Henry Morrow was taken into custody during a traffic stop that followed an incident involving his girlfriend at a residence on Carson. Morrow was charged with Domestic Assault, and Driving While Barred. The girlfriend was not injured during the assault.

And, an Oakland man was transported by Council Bluffs Fire and Rescue to Jennie Edmundson Hospital, after he reportedly tried to commit suicide while in a holding cell. The incident happened today (Wednesday), at around 1:50-a.m.  Officials say 35-year old Abraham Deng Mayom was in a holding cell because he was not being cooperative following his arrest on Monday. In an apparent attempt to kill himself, Mayom fell off a divider and hit his head on the floor, causing a severe laceration. As he fell, and before he hit his head, the man tried to grab a sprinkler head. In the process, the sprinkler head broke.

Mayom was charged with Criminal Mischief in the 4th Degree in connection to the damaged sprinkler.
