The Glenwood Police Department reports 21-year old Jacob Wilson, of Glenwood, was arrested Wednesday, on OWI/1st offense, and Possession of a Controlled Substance, charges, following an accident that happened at around 7:30-p.m.  Authorities say a 1993 Chevy SIlverado pickup driven by Wilson, hopped a curb at Coolidge and South Elm Streets in Glenwood. The pickup struck a house at 911 Coolidge, damaging the house and its foundation. Wilson, and his passenger, both told police the accident happened due to malfunctioning brakes, but there was no evidence at the scene to indicate attempted to brake for the accident happened. Wilson was cited for failure to maintain control, and arrested for OWI. No injuries were reported. Wilson was being held in the Mills County Jail on a $2,000 cash or surety bond. The house sustained about $5,000 damage. Damage to the pickup was estimated at $2,500, and a street sign that was struck by the truck sustained about $150 damage.

And, an accident last Saturday night in the Glenwood High School parking lot caused a total of $4,000 damage. Glenwood Police say an investigation revealed 16-year old Lanie Marie Brule, of Malvern, backed into a parked 1996 Chevy Suburban, after an incident in the parking lot led her to step on the accelerator too hard while she was backing up a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am. The event unfolded after Brule and her passenger  antagonized some Glenwood students, who, in-turn, antagonized them back. As Brule was attempting to leave the parking lot, her vehicle was blocked by another vehicle. Brule told Police several students told her to turn around and go the other way. As she tried backing-up, she stepped on the gas and ran into the Suburban, which was pushed up over the curb and struck the concrete base of a parking lot light pole. The driver of the Suburban was sitting in another vehicle several stalls away. No injuries were reported, and no citations were issued.
