The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports two arrests over the past week. This past Saturday night, 31-year-old Adam James Magill, of Greenfield, was arrested on two counts Possession of a Controlled Substance, after he was found to be in possession of a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana, and three bags of a white crystalline substance believed to be methamphetamine. He was also found to be in possession of a glass pipe with white residue consistent with the use of meth. Magill was arrested after a deputy saw him leaning against a car at the intersection of 160th Street and the Fontanelle Road. Prior to questioning Magill, the deputy learned the man’s license plate had expired in 2019. Magill was released from custody the following day on his own recognizance.
