The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports a traffic stop Tuesday afternoon resulted in a pursuit. A Deputy had attempted to stop a Porsche Cayenne at around 1:35 p.m., for having no front license plate. When the vehicle failed to yield, a pursuit ensued for about eight-miles. The driver, 26-year-old Dylan Hoffman, of Council Bluffs, eventually crashed the expensive SUV into a marked Pott. County Sheriff’s cruiser near Macedonia, at 370th and Pioneer Trail and was placed into custody. Hoffman was charged with Eluding, Driving While License Under Suspension, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of a Controlled Substance – Methamphetamine, and OWI 1st Offense. He also had two outstanding warrants for Probation Violation out of Council Bluffs. Deputies seized a baggy of meth, and a glass pipe with a white residue inside.

The Sheriff’s Office reports also, 41-year old Brandy Michelle Portrey, of Council Bluffs, was arrested at around 4-p.m. Tuesday, on a warrant for Contempt of Court/Failure to Appear. She was located at the Pott. County Courthouse and transported to the Pottawattamie County Jail. Also arrested at the Courthouse was 37-year old Melson Antonio Arevalo, of Council Bluffs. He was arrested on a warrant for Domestic Assault/1st offense.

And, 42-year old David Lee Frazier, of Council Bluffs, was arrested at around 11:15-p.m. Tuesday, on a warrant for Compulsory Education Violation/1st Offense. The man was taken into custody after he returned to the scene of a scene of a property damage accident that resulted in $1,500 damage to his vehicle, which slid off the road at Big Lake Park. Frazier was also cited for Failure to Maintain Control. Authorities say alcohol was a factor in the accident, but because he tested within the legal limit, no charge was filed.
