Two female juveniles from Muscatine were arrested Monday (Aug. 16) after a silver passenger vehicle driver sped through Mediapolis at about 80 mph in a 35 mph zone.
Shortly before getting pulled over by the deputy, the driver ramped the passenger vehicle out of the ditch north of the town.
Because they are juveniles, the ages and names of the girls will not be released by the Des Monies County Sheriff’s Office.
According to a press release from the sheriff’s office, a deputy was able to catch up to the silver passenger vehicle north of Mediapolis. As the deputy attempted to stop the girls, the vehicle swerved into the north ditch and became airborne before coming back to rest on the roadway.
The driver was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, having no valid driver’s license, and possession of alcohol under the legal age. The passenger was charged with possession of alcohol under the legal age.
No further details have been released.
