BEDFORD – A Mitchell man was arrested Saturday after a report of a vehicle running off the roadway and striking a tree.

Nunn was transported to the IU Health Hospital for a blood draw.
Nunn was arrested on charges of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, possession of meth, possession of a legend drug and operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
