SALINE COUNTY —Eight head of cattle are dead after a tractor-trailer rig rolled in Saline County Tuesday.
Just before 1a.m, a 2006 Peterbilt pulling a trailer carrying 32 steers and driven by Dustin Bohannon, 27, of South Haven, was southbound on U.S. 81 just north of Interstate 70 when it left the road on the left side and overturned, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan. The tractor-trailer rig is owned by H&K Cattle of Braman, Oklahoma.
Seven of the steers died in the rollover. Another had to be put down, according to Soldan. Bohannon complained of back pain, but refused to be transported to the hospital. Deputies arrested him on requested charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia.
