Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports four arrests took place over the past week. On Thursday, 43-year old Michelle Ann Day, of Greenfield and 53-year old Nathan William Storey, of Council Bluffs, were arrested by Adair County Deputies related to drug trafficking charges. According to the complaint, Day – who was arrested at around 9-p.m. – agreed with Storey to receive Methamphetamine and sell it to others. She and Storey were both charged with a Controlled Substance Violation, associated with the intent to deliver more than 5-grams but less than 5-kilograms of meth. Both were brought to the Adair County Jail, where Storey was released later that day on a $25,000 cash or surety bond, and Day remained in custody on the same amount of bond.

Storey was arrested just before 4-p.m. Thursday following a traffic stop for speeding on westbound Highway 92. An Iowa State Patrol Trooper assisted in the stop near Bridgewater, and deployed a K-9, which indicated to the presence of narcotics in the vehicle. A probable cause search was conducted, during which a large quantity of a crystallized white substance was found inside a sock located in a tool belt in the rear of the vehicle.

Also arrested Thursday, was 20-year old Jacob Thomas Peterson, of Fontanelle, who was arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance/Methamphetamine, after the drug was found inside a safe in his bedroom. He also had numerous letters addressed to him within the safe, and had admitted to smoking meth two days prior to his arrest. Peterson was being held in the Adair County Jail on a $5,000 cash or surety bond.

And, 54-year old Timothy Edward Riegel, of Council Bluffs, was arrested Friday night in Adair County, following a call about a fight in progress at the Adair County Fairgrounds, in Greenfield. A Deputy spoke with a male who was identified as being involved in the fight. The man initially identified himself as “Henry Chillingworth,” but after further investigation, he admitted to being Timothy Riegel. He said he gave the false name because he was worried a No Contact Order was still in-place between Riegel and a woman he was with. Riegel was arrested for providing false identity information to a law enforcement officer. He was later released on a $300 bond.
