A Nebraska woman was arrested on a charge of OWI/1st Offense, following an investigation into an accident early Friday morning on Interstate 80, in Cass County. The Sheriff’s Department says deputies responded at around 2:40-a.m.  to the single-vehicle accident on I-80 eastbound, near mile marker 68 (or, just west of the Anita Highway 148 Exit).

Officials say a 2006 Ford Taurus driven by 18-year old Kayla Ann Richmond, of Omaha, left the road and entered the north ditch. No injuries were reported. Upon investigation, the Cass County Sheriff’s Office arrested Richmond on the OWI charge. She was also cited for Minor in Possession and Failure to Maintain Control. Richmond was taken to the Cass County Jail where she was released later that day on her own recognizance.

And on Saturday, deputies in Cass County arrested 20-year old Russell Logan Barker, of Council Bluffs, on two District Court warrants for Failure to Appear. Barker was taken to the Cass County Jail where he remains held on $1,500 bond.
