He was taken to Union County Jail and held without bond until seen by Magistrate.

And the Union County Sheriff’s Office says two people were injured during a single-vehicle accident that happened at around 6:30-a.m., Thursday. According to the report, 19-year-old Rose Marie Pumel, of Lincoln, NE., was driving a 2004 Dodge Durango, when she fell asleep at the wheel.
