A traffic stop early this (Sunday) morning in Fremont County resulted in the arrest of a man from Nebraska. Fremont County Sheriff’s Officials say 44-year old Jose Garcia, of Omaha, was taken into custody for OWI/2nd offense, Child Endangerment and Open Container. His arrest stems from a call to the Sheriff’s Office about a possible intoxicated driver traveling northbound on Interstate 29 near the Iowa/Missouri line. Deputies observed the vehicle driving erratically near the intersection of Highway 2 and Interstate 29 in Percival, Iowa. Garcia’s Blood Alcohol Content measured .110, which is over the legal limit of .08.

It was also determined that there was a 5-year-old passenger in the vehicle at the time of the offense. Garcia was transported to the Fremont County Jail, where he was being held without bond, pending initial appearance with the magistrate.
