A man from Pottawattamie County was arrested late Friday night in Red Oak, following an accident investigation. Red Oak Police says 20-year old Tanner Douglas Mertz, of Council Bluffs, was taken into custody at around 10:55-p.m. for OWI/1st offense. Officials say a 2012 Chevy Malibu driven by Mertz, was traveling north on Sunnyslope Drive, when the vehicle hit a legally parked and unoccupied 2006 Chrysler Town and Country van owned by Allison Ruhl. The collision resulted in about $6,000 damage to each vehicle. No injuries were reported.

Mertz was transported to the Montgomery County Law Enforcement Center and held on a $1,000 bond.
