The Mills County Sheriff’s Office Wednesday (today) said there were two arrests over the past week and one injury accident. Taken into custody just before 5-a.m. Saturday during a traffic stop on I-29, was 58-year old Randolph Troy Smith, of Vero Beach, FL.  Smith was arrested for OWI/1st offense, with bond set at $1,000. And, on Feb. 11th, 38-year old Dustin Lee Harriman, of Council Bluffs, was arrested at the Pottawattamie County Jail, on a Mills County warrant for two counts of Probation Violation. Harriman was being held on a $10,000 bond.

Thursday afternoon (Feb. 11), vehicles driven by 57-year old James Cooper, of Farragut, and 47-year old George Sievers, of Malvern, were westbound on Highway 34 at the intersection with 188th St., when Cooper became distracted by his phone going off. He took his eyes off the road just long enough to check the phone. When he looked up, he saw red lights and was unable to stop before his 2017 Chrysler hit the rear of Sievers’ 2014 Kia.

Sievers reported possible, unknown injuries, and was transported to the hospital by Glenwood Rescue.
