28 year old Josh Barnes appeared in General Sessions Court Tuesday on one charge of reckless endangerment and resisting arrest. Judge Bill Locke set a date for June 10 and Barnes was appointed a public defender. Barnes will appear next month on a charge of possession of meth and failure to exercise due care.
Barnes and a female passenger, Sarah Bennett, were not injured at the intersection of Old Rock Island Road and Highway 70 when he failed to negotiate a curve, hit a ditch and overturned coming to a rest on the drivers side.
