An investigation stemming from an incident that took place January 9th, has resulted in the arrest of a woman in southwest Iowa. Fremont County Sheriff Kevin Aistrope says on Jan. 9th, his deputies were called to an address in Sidney for a report of an intoxicated female, who was arguing with bystanders and had fallen while holding an infant. Upon arrival, deputies removed a 2-month-old child from the care of 32-year old Jana Gray, of Sidney.
Jana Gray
The mother and child were transported to the hospital, where the child was found to be uninjured from the fall.
Deputies allege that Gray became intoxicated on an unknown substance while caring for the 2-month-old and another minor child. The woman allegedly created a disturbance in the home and the minor requested assistance from neighbors. When the neighbors attempted to aid the infant, Gray fell while holding the infant.
An investigation was conducted resulting in the issuance of an arrest warrant for Gray, who was taken into custody by a Shenandoah Police Officer today (Monday, Feb. 4th). She was arrested on an active Fremont County warrant for Child Endangerment. Gray was being held in the Fremont County Jail on a $2,000 bond.
The Shenandoah Police Department, Sidney Fire and Rescue and Iowa Department of Human Services assisted the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office with the investigation.

The Iowa State Patrol reports a total of five people were injured and three others were killed, when two vehicles ran into an overturned semi in southeast Iowa’ Henry County, early Sunday morning. The chain-reaction crash happened on Highway 34 at around 3:26-a.m. Authorities say a 1995 Freightliner tractor trailer driven by 68-year old Wayne Salo, of Sioux City, was traveling east on Highway 34 near mile marker 230, when the semi went out of control, entered the left shoulder, and jack-knifed, coming to rest on the driver’s side blocking both lanes of eastbound travel. Soon after the semi crashed, an eastbound 2010 Mazda M3 driven by 31-year old Guylain Landa, of Cedar Rapids, and a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country van driven by 74-year old Vicki J. Morrow, of Ottumwa, both crashed into the overturned semi.
Morrow, and her passengers, 44-year old Daniel Yutzy, along with 44-year old Kathryn Yutzy, both of Bloomfield, died in the crash. Only Morrow was wearing a seat belt. 48-year old Suzanne Mast and 48-year old Henry Mast, both of Bloomfield, were injured, along with the drivers of the semi and Mazda, were transported to the hospital. Another passenger in one of the vehicles, 27-year old Shelda Florestal, of Ottumwa, was also injured.
