A woman from Nebraska who had reportedly gone to the scene of a house fire in Pottawattamie County to repair her vehicle, was arrested on a warrant for Probation Violation and Possession of a Controlled Substance (2.2-grams of meth). The Pott. County Sheriff’s Office says 33-year old Ashley Lynn Votherms, of Bellevue, NE. was taken into custody at around 11:30-p.m. Friday.  Another person, 34-year old Andrew Sanwick, of Omaha, had a valid warrant for Theft in the 5th Degree. Both were arrested after the Pott. County Communications Center received a call about numerous persons rummaging through the property where a home had burned to the ground the previous day, at 1203 Rolling Hills Loop. When the Deputy questioned individuals looking into a vehicle with a flat tire that was partially burned by the fire, Votherms said the vehicle was hers, and that they were attempting to change a tire. A records check indicated Votherms and Sanwick had valid warrants for arrest.
