(KNZA)--Formal charges have been filed against a Bellevue, Nebraska man in connection with a two-vehicle injury wreck last week in Brown County, just south of Hiawatha.
According to court documents, a criminal complaint was filed Tuesday in Brown County District Court charging 38-year-old William Bundy with 9 counts.

In addition, he was charged with one count of battery on a law enforcement officer, one count of driving under the influence, two counts of battery on a healthcare provider and three drug possession charges, all misdemeanors.

He was released July 5th after posting a $30,000 bond.
