A woman from Nebraska was arrested Tuesday night on drug charges, after she made abrupt driving maneuvers. The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office says a Deputy on routine patrol saw an SUV traveling south on Old Lincoln Highway near Badger, at around 9:20-p.m., when the driver of the vehicle suddenly made a U-turn after they saw the Deputy’s vehicle, and proceeded to travel north.  The vehicle then made another U-Turn before turning into 1006 Old Lincoln Highway.

The SUV was there for only 5-minutes. When it pulled out, the Deputy saw it didn’t have a license plate lamp, and during the ensuing traffic stop, arrested 25-year old Heather Ann Misek, of Omaha, for Possession of a Controlled Substance and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. In the vehicle, authorities found baggies containing a total of 1 gram of crystal substance believed to be Meth. They also found a glass pipe with white residue, along with a drug scale.

And, a Council Bluffs man was arrested Wednesday afternoon for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender. 36-year old Scott Alen Schiller was taken into custody at a residence in the 500 block of North Ridge Road, on a warrant for the Sex Offender Registry violation.
