Montgomery County deputies filed charged against two people after a minor traffic mishap.  Deputies report that on Thursday just after 10:00 pm they were called to the 400 block of Thorn Avenue in Stanton for a hit and run.  When they arrived 55 year old Karen Louise Jones of Stanton said that her 2006 Dodge Stratus was legally parked in the 700 block of Thorn Avenue and that a vehicle had struck the left rear of her car causing damage.  She claimed that she was not able to get a vehicle description because she heard the accident but didn’t see the vehicle.  Deputies determined that the scene did not match what Jones had described.  A short time later, deputies found the accident scene in Anderson Park in Stanton.  After investigation, deputies determined that Jones’ son, 15 year old Christopher Owen Jones of Stanton was driving the vehicle in a reckless manner and struck a tree near the baseball field in the park causing about $3000 damage.  Karen Jones was arrested for filing a false report and permitting an unauthorized minor to drive.  Christopher Jones was cited with a violation of a graduated drivers license and with reckless driving.

Sheriff’s officials in Fremont County report two women were arrested Thursday on suspicion of Dependent Adult Abuse. Deputies arrested 54-year-old Tamara Leigh O’Neil, of Shenandoah, and 72-year-old JoAnn Clark, of Hamburg. Both women subsequently posted bond and were released.

Authorities said the women were arrested following an investigation that was initiated by the Iowa Department of Human Services in June 2013, into a Nishna Productions Waiver home located in the 200 block of D Street in Hamburg that involved a 51-year-old female. Officials said the victim’s injuries were so severe that she had to be placed into hospice care.

The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Iowa Department of Human Services and the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation.
