After weeks of being off-line, the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office today, released a lengthy on-line report, on recent arrests. A man from Crescent was arrested a little after 3-a.m. today (Wednesday), for Theft in the 2nd Degree (Motor vehicle related), after a Deputy conducted a traffic stop at 160th and Old Mormon Bridge Road. The registered owner, John Metzger, has had an expired license plate since 2009. The Deputy spoke with the driver, Beth Zarek, who wasn’t the registered owner. A passenger, 46-year old Jimmy Wayne Metzger, was arrested on a Felony warrant for a stolen trailer. He was taken into custody without incident.

Tuesday evening, Deputies arrested 31-year-old David Anderson and 28-year-old Nicole Anderson, both of Magnolia, both for Assault with Injury and Criminal Mischief 5th degree.  They were taken into custody after Deputies responded to 16733 Whippoorwill Road, where a woman was yelling for help. At the scene, people were reportedly beating the caller’s boyfriend with a bat.  Soon thereafter, it was reported a taser was involved. Officials say the front driver’s side window of a vehicle received around $200 damage during the incident.
