The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports numerous arrests took place over the past few days. Authorities say 18-year old Ross Allen Fisher, of Council Bluffs, was arrested at around 5:15-a.m. today (Monday), for OWI/1st offense. Fisher was taken into custody after a sheriff’s deputy was called to 111 Mormon Bridge (A Casey’s store in Crescent) at around 4:45-a.m., for a report of a man down/unknown problem. While enroute to the scene, the deputy was informed a male subject appeared to be sleeping in a red truck at one of the gas pumps.

The deputy arrived on the scene and walked up to the driver’s side window. He observed a man who appeared to be asleep in the driver’s seat. The man was startled awake when the deputy tapped on the window. After opening the door, the deputy noticed a strong odor of alcohol. He asked Fisher if he knew where he was, to which he replied he thought he was at the Casey’s store in Treynor.

The Sheriff’s Office reports also, 37-year old Veronica Gonzalez-Carmona, a transient, and a passenger in her car, 35-year old Jimenez A.
