Page County Sheriff Lyle Palmer reports a deputy responded at around 9:30-p.m. Friday, to an accident on Highway 2 near O Avenue, which is about 2 miles west of Clarinda. During the investigation, Deputies determined that 26-year old Jesse Warren Bozarth, of Council Bluffs, was driving a Dodge Durango westbound on Highway 2 east of the intersection with O Avenue.

Bozarth swerved into the eastbound lane, almost striking a vehicle that was eastbound on Highway 2.  He then corrected the vehicle, swerving back into the westbound lane and then into the north ditch.  Bozarth drove the SUV out of the ditch and parked it in the traveled portion of Highway 2, blocking traffic.

He was arrested for OWI/1st offense and transported to the Page County Jail, where he was unable to post a $1,000 bond, and was being held pending further court proceedings.
