The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports a gas drive-off from a convenience store near Minden, resulted in the arrest late Friday morning, of a woman from northern Iowa. A pickup driven by 26-year old Shauni Elizabeth Turnmeyer, of Garner, was located and pulled over on eastbound Interstate 80 near the 49-mile marker, after she allegedly left the Casey’s Store without paying for fuel. Turnmeyer was charged with Theft in the 5th Degree.

She told deputies she was unable to pay for the gas and was en route to obtain funds to do so. The store manager said Turnmeyer pumped nearly 13-gallons of gas valued at slightly more than $26 and attempted to pay using three different credit cards, each of which were declined. The woman also tried to get money from an ATM, but was unsuccessful. After sitting in her vehicle at the pump for about 30-minutes, Turnmeyer pulled-up in front of the store for about 15-minutes before taking off in an easterly direction on I-80.

And, an Oakland man was arrested Sunday night for Violation of a Court Order/Contempt of Court, following an investigation into a suspicious vehicle in the intersection of 380th Street and Elmtree Road. The caller told authorities a “large build woman” with dark colored clothing was walking away from a vehicle and thought the situation was odd. Upon further investigation, 41-year old Shane Elam Rouse, of Oakland, was arrested on the Contempt charge and brought to the Pott. County Jail.
