Yost was also arrested on a valid Fremont County warrant for Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Methamphetamine and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and on a valid Page County warrant for Domestic Abuse Assault. His bond on those charges amounts to $2,100.

Authorities say that at around 8:17-p.m., Thursday, the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office took several reports of a female in a vehicle yelling that someone was trying to kill her, in Tabor. Callers followed the vehicle to the 2800 block of Waubonsie Avenue in rural Tabor. During the altercation, the male, identified as Brandon Yost, exited the vehicle, climbed onto the hood and began breaking the windshield. Upon law enforcement arrival, Yost fled a short distance and was apprehended quickly.

Yost was also arrested after a search warrant involving a Fremont County K9, was conducted on a vehicle belonging him, and not connected with the other cases. He was arrested in that matter at the Fremont County Jail and is being held on $1,000 cash bond in that case for Possession of Marijuana. Yost is awaiting his initial appearance with a Magistrate in this case. Yost was also out of jail on bond, in connection to a previous burglary arrest in Page County.

The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office and the Tabor Police Department investigated separate incidents in this case. They were assisted by the Mills County Sheriff’s Office and Tabor Rescue.
