The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports three, recent arrests. Last Friday, 27-year old Zachary Ryan McNeeley, of Greenfield, and 45-year old Kevin Jay Giles, of Orient, were both arrested at the Union County Law Enforcement Center, on Union County warrants for probation violation.  Giles is being held in the Union County Jail on $11,000 bond, while McNeeley’s bond was set at $2,000.

And, 54-year old Roger Allen Tinkle, of Des Moines, was arrested last Thursday afternoon at the Union County Law Enforcement Center, on a Union County warrant for failure to appear on the original charge of driving while barred.  Tinkle was released from the Union County Jail for time served.

Sheriff’s officials said also, a Creston man was injured during an accident Monday night. 32-year old Cole Michael Miller, who was wearing his seat belt,  was transported to the Greater Regional Medical Center for treatment of suspected serious/incapacitating injuries. Authorities say Miller was driving a 2008 Chevy pickup northbound on 2 Lakes Drive at around 8:50-p.m., and was being inattentive. His pickup went through a T-intersection with 160th Street, entered the ditch and hit an embankment head-on. The force of the collision caused the truck to spin and come to rest facing west. The vehicle sustained $20,000, and was declared a total loss.
