(Page Co.) A College Springs woman was arrested for OWI 2nd Offense following an accident on Monday.
The Page County Sheriff’s Office responded to a motor vehicle accident near the intersection of Missouri Avenue and Spruce Street in College Springs at 7:25 p.m. The investigation showed that 39-year-old Gelena Ann Gladman was the operator and only occupant of a 2013 Nissan. Witnesses said that Gladman was “passed out” with the vehicle running and her foot on the brake. Witnesses were unable to gain entry to the vehicle as the vehicle’s doors were locked while the vehicle was in gear. Witnesses tried to wake Gladman up and Gladman took her foot off the brake, causing the vehicle to move. The vehicle struck a stop sign and then came to rest in the back yard of a residence on Spruce Street after striking a trash container.
Gladman was evaluated by Clarinda EMS and released. Gladman was arrested for OWI 2nd Offense. She was transported to the Page County Jail where she was held on $2,000 bond pending further court proceedings.
The Page County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Clarinda Ambulance service, Clarinda Fire Department, and College Springs Fire & Rescue.
A charge is merely an accusation and that the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
