Plainview Man Arrested for DWI Following Early Morning Accident Southeast of Stanton


A 76-year old Plainview man was arrested for DWI after getting in an early morning accident at the intersection of Golf Course Road and 570th avenue southeast of Stanton just before 4:30 Thursday Morning. The Stanton County Sheriff’s Office found 76-year old Barry Steinkraus trapped in the vehicle and bleeding after his vehicle had left the roadway and struck a grove of trees. Steinkraus was removed from the wreckage and was then treated at the scene and medically cleared by EMS. He was found to be intoxicated and was placed under arrest for DWI and later booked at the Sheriff’s office where he tested nearly twice the legal limit. Seatbelts appear to have been in use and the vehicle was a total loss. Stanton Fire and Rescue also responded to the scene.
