At around 3:40-a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 8th, 34-year-old Keegan Patrick Rooney, of Glenwood, was arrested for Domestic Abuse Assault, and three counts of Child Endangerment, Rooney was being held without bond in the Mills County Jail.

Friday evening, 38-year-old Christina Marie Stockstill, of Riverton (IA) was arrested at 305th St. & Waubonsie Ave. in Mills County, for: Possession of a Controlled Substance; Drug Tax Stamp Violation; Contraband in a correctional facility; Child Endangerment, & Interference with Official Acts.

His bond was set at $13,000.

Sheriff’s officials said also, 24-year-old Stephanie Rhodd, of Pacific Junction complained of pain and injuries, following an accident Feb. 5th at 195th/196 Street, at around 9:23-a.m. She was transported to Mercy Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Authorities say Rhodd was in a 2014 Ford traveling north behind a 2015 Toyota driven by 34-year-old Carissa Van Sickle, of Pacific Junction, when the Toyota turned onto 196th Street to make a U-turn.

Van Sickle failed to notice the oncoming northbound Ford before she began to pull out in front of the vehicle. Rhodd took evasive action to avoid a collision, and as a result caused her vehicle to enter the ditch. The Ford struck a hedge pole and went through a barbed-wire fence before coming to rest in a grassy area. The Ford sustained severe damage and the airbag was deployed.

Officials say Van Sickle was at fault for entering the roadway without yielding, causing an accident. She was not hurt, and her vehicle was undamaged.
