A call to the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Department about a disturbance Wednesday afternoon near the Joslin Road and Old Morman Bridge Road, resulted in the arrest of a man on a warrant and additional charges. The Sheriff’s Office reported Friday (today), that a deputy dispatched to the area was informed a female was covered in mud and was seen walking through a field. She was being followed by an older, Ford truck.

When Deputy Josh Harker arrived on the scene, he made contact with a male and female at the intersection of Pokeamoke Lane and the Old Morman Bridge. Both were inside a 1995 Ford F-250 pickup. The driver, 36-year old Bret David Hauptman, of Council Bluffs, was bleeding from an apparent cut on his nose and a cut below his left eye. The windshield of the truck appeared to have been recently broken.

Dispatch advised the Deputy the Hauptman had a warrant out of Pott. County for Failure to Appear on a Violation of Compulsory Education Mediation Agreement. He was arrested just before 3-p.m. on the warrant, Violation of a No Contact Order, and for Driving While License Denied or Revoked. The 28-year old female in the pickup was not charged, and did not appear to have been injured.

Authorities said in their report, that woman was Hauptman’s girlfriend.
