The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports the driver of a 1998 GMC pickup suffered suspected minor/non-incapacitating injuries during a single-vehicle accident at around 8:30-a.m., Monday. 15-year old Rachel Ann Boyer, of Kent, was traveling south on the High and Dry Road, when a deer ran out in front of her. Boyer, who was wearing her seat belt, swerved to miss the animal, and in the process lost control of the vehicle. The pickup rolled into the west ditch, and sustained $5,000 damage. The teen was transported by private vehicle to the hospital in Creston, to be checked-out.

And, Sheriff’s officials say a man from Afton, reported on Monday morning, that someone placed fraudulent charges on his checking account. The incident happened sometime last Saturday.
