The Union County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following a rollover accident Thursday evening. Officials say 39-year old Marshall Joseph Weidman, of Creston, was driving a 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser northbound on Highway 25 at around 7:30-p.m., when a deer ran out in front of him. Weidman, who was wearing his seat belt, swerved to avoid hitting the animal, and in the process lost control of the car. The vehicle entered the west ditch and landed on its top. The damage was estimated at $4,000.

The Union County Sheriff’s Office said also, that a Creston woman reported late Thursday morning, that sometime over the last month, someone took license plates CAA 875 off a 1991 Ford Ranger, that was sitting on her property. The plates were valued at $50.
