An investigation into a hit-and-run property damage incident in Pottawattamie County, Tuesday night, resulted in a man being arrested for OWI/2nd offense. The Sheriff’s Office says Deputy Lieber was driving a marked patrol car at around 9:20-p.m., when a broadcast was put out about a hit-and-run that had just occurred. The deputy passed the suspect vehicle, a red Ford Ranger pickup, on Big Lake Road and observed it had front end damage.

After he turned around to initiate a traffic stop, the Deputy noticed multiple signs the driver was under the influence. After a series of sobriety tests, the driver of the pickup, 22-year old Jacob Robert Levene, of Honey Creek, was taken into custody and brought to the Pott. County Jail.
