Sheriff’s officials in Union County report a man who was transported from the Page County Jail, to the Union County Law Enforcement Center, was arrested Tuesday night. 39-year old Lonny Ray Brown, of Clarinda, was taken into custody on a Union County warrant for probation violations.  Brown remained in the Union County Jail without bond until being seen by a judge.

The Union County Sheriff’s Office said also, a rural resident in the 1,300 block of Jaguar Ave., reported damage to his mailbox, Tuesday. The damage was estimated at $100.

And, there were two, non-injury accidents in Union County. Early Sunday morning, authorities investigated a rollover accident on County Road P-33/Pole Road, where a 1987 Dodge Dakota pickup had left the road, entered a ditch and rolled over before coming to rest on its wheels. No one was around or in the vehicle. Authorities contacted Sheriff’s officials in Ringgold and Taylor Counties to try and determine who the driver and register owner was. The pickup sustained about $2,000 damage.

The other accident happened at around 7:20-a.m. today (Wednesday) in Afton, as a 2014 Chrysler driven by 49-year old Kathryn Lea Johnson, of Afton, was backing out of a driveway. A 2012 Chevy Impala driven by 33-year old Laura Ann Stearns, of Afton, was traveling west on Filmore Street. Due to sun glare, Johnson didn’t see Stearns’ approaching vehicle. The Chrysler struck the Chevy on the passenger side, causing a total of $5,500 damage. There were no citations issued.
