Ottawa man gave false name in traffic stop
A 23 year old Ottawa man, sought on a city warrant, gave his 18 year old brother’s name to police during a 9 p.m. traffic stop in the 800 block of South Poplar Street. He was arrested on DUI suspicion with breath test refusal, open container transport, license issues and a false report, plus the warrant. The brother, Kenneth Whitacre, 18, an Ottawa High wrestler, was arrested in connection with the stop after authorities discovered the alias. School officials were notified to prevent disciplinary action.
