The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports numerous recent arrests. Early this (Monday) morning, a Deputy patrolling on Interstate 80 near the 22 mile marker, observed a vehicle ahead of him with no lights on the entire rear end of the vehicle. The vehicle was also displaying paper registration plates. During the course of a traffic stop, the 24-year old female driver was identified as having a protection order in place with a passenger of the vehicle. After confirmation of the order, the passenger, 24-year old Albert Finley, of Omaha, was arrested for violation of a protection order.

At around 11:30-p.m. Sunday, a Pott.

Earlier that same evening, a Deputy on patrol was dispatched to the area of Highway 59 and Cottonwood Road for a check location call. Dispatch advised Mills County took a report of stolen license plates on a vehicle and the vehicle was in the area. Upon arrival, the vehicle was on location and was unoccupied. The license plates, which had come from a vehicle in Macedonia, were removed from the vehicle and placed into evidence. 33-year old Nicholas John Horgdal, of Emerson, was arrested for Theft in the 5th Degree.

On December 8th, Pott. County Deputies were dispatched to a residence in the 21,000 block of Greenview Road for a disturbance.

Moffatt was transported to Pott. County Corrections.

At around 11:10-p.m. Friday, 21-year old Austin Daniel Malloy, of Walnut, was operating a motor vehicle at Highway 92 and 480th Street and was stopped for failing to dim his bright lights and littering. Malloy showed signs of being impaired and had a barred driving status at the time of contact and was placed under arrest for OWI 2nd, and driving while barred. At around 8:50-p.m., Friday, a traffic stop at Highway 59 and Cottonwood Road resulted in the arrest for Driving While Barred, of  33-year old Nicholas John Horgdal, from Emerson. At around Noon, Friday, 29-year old Phillip Michael Manriquez,  of Omaha, turned himself-in to the Pott. County Sheriff’s Office on a warrant for Violation of Probation. Manriquez was turned over to Corrections staff and booked into the jail without incident.

At around 7:15-a.m. Friday, a Deputy was dispatched to a residence in the 600 block of Eagle Circle, in Underwood for a verbal disturbance. When authorities arrived on location, they found 63-year old Michael James Hunter, of Underwood, at the residence. Hunter was found to be the suspect in a Domestic Assault that occurred Dec. 6th. He was arrested on the charge of Simple Domestic Assault, and taken to the Pott. County Jail. A couple of hours later, an inventory of Hunter’s property at the jail, revealed there were two small bags with 1.1-grams of a white substance, that was found in the zippered part of his wallet. The substance was believed to be methamphetamine. Hunter was subsequently charged with Possession of Contraband in a Jail Facility.

2 school bond elections take place Tuesday

News

December 10th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

Two, school bond elections will take place in the KJAN listening area, Tuesday. Voters in Cass, Adair, Adams, Audubon, Crawford, Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Monona, and Montgomery, Page, Pottawattamie and Shelby Counties, will decide the fate of an $11.5-million bond issue for Iowa Western Community College. The funds would be used to replace steam lines at IWCC’s main campus, in Council Bluffs.  The polls will be open from noon to 8:00 p.m.

And, patrons of the Harlan Community School District will head to the polls from 7-a.m. until 8-p.m., to decide the fate of a $28.5-million bond referendum. There are four propositions on the ballot:

  • Proposition A: A General Obligation bond which would fund facility updates.
  • Proposition B – Authorizing an increase in the tax levy by $4.05 per thousand dollars of taxable property value, of which the district will contribute 80-cents per $4.05, leaving a net tax impact of $3.25 per thousand.
  • Proposition C – asks for voter approval to extend the PPEL (Physical Plant and Equipment Levy).
  • Proposition D – Seeks to extend the Instructional Support Levy (ISL).

The latter two propositions have no added tax effect, and are renewals of those levies. Proposition A would impact for homeowners’ property taxes. A homeowner with property assessed at $100,000 would pay $13.75/month, while persons owning agricultural property would pay $3.97/acre.

School officials say the Harlan Intermediate and High School facilities are between 40- and 50-years old, and are in need of major renovations that include security and system updates at the Intermediate and High School. It also would provide more Classrooms/Hands-on space; Auditorium updates; STEM/Science spaces, and updates to the Weight Room, at the Harlan High School. The bond would fund over 180-thousand square feet of renovations at a cost of 50-percent less than a new building.

Safety and Security, Educational Enhancements, and Systems Upgrades are the three main priorities identified as a result of multiple work sessions, and community meetings.
