A truck driver from Tennessee was arrested Monday night, following a disturbance at a truck stop in Underwood. The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office says 53-year old Lawrence Daniel Elston, of Counce, TN, was taken into custody a little after 9:30-p.m., on charges that include Interference with Official Acts, and Trespassing.

Authorities say Elston, who was apparently under the influence of alcohol, had allegedly been harassing truck stop employees. He was asked to leave, but instead went to his truck and refused to leave the vehicle and property, when a deputy ordered him to do so. He was eventually placed under arrest and brought to the Pott. County Jail.
