Two people from eastern Iowa were arrested on drug charges last week, in Adair County. Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports deputies arrested 42-year old Annette Lea Zeien and 34-year old Mark Anthony Clark II, both of Waterloo, following a traffic stop for a registration violation Wednesday evening on Interstate 80. Zeien and Clark were charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, after a deputy detected an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. A subsequent search revealed a baggie of pot in the vehicles’ center console.  Zeien also had a bag of a green leafy substance in her pants. The pair were taken into custody and brought to the Adair County Jail. They were later released on $1,000 bond, each.

And, a Central Iowa man was arrested Nov. 6th for Public Intoxication, Driving Under Suspension, and Open Container in a motor vehicle. 41-year old Vilaykham Luvan, of Des Moines, was arrested after an Adair County Deputy stopped to check on a stalled vehicle on I-80 eastbound at around 12:30-a.m. Luvan told the deputy his vehicle had run out of gas, and that he needed a ride to Des Moines.

In the front seat of the vehicle, there were several empty bottles of beer. A Preliminary Breath Test indicated his intoxication level was more than three-times the legal limit. Luvan told the deputy he began to drink the beer after his vehicle ran out of gas. A check of records indicated the man’s license was suspended. Luvan was brought to the Adair County Jail and later released on $300 bond.
