(Greenfield, Iowa) – Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater, Monday night, released his weekly report on arrests. The Sheriff says 31-year-old Hailey Elizabeth Hart, of Diagonal, was arrested at around 2:30-a.m. Saturday, for OWI/1st offense, after a Deputy in a marked patrol vehicle parked in the Orient-Macksburg School parking lot, saw an SUV fail to stop at the intersection of Division and School Streets. A subsequent traffic stop on the vehicle determined Hart’s Breath Alcohol Content measured more than .08-percent. A follow-up test for Blood Alcohol Contact (BAC) at the Sheriff’s Office determined her level of intoxication was .153-percent, or nearly twice the legal limit. Hart was cited and later released.

At around 10:44-a.m. Thursday, Sept. 8th, 28-year-old Tray D. Anderson, of Exira, was arrested in Greenfield, on an Adair County warrant for Violation of Probation. His cash or surety (c/s) bond was set at $2,000.

And, there were two separate arrests Sept. 6th, in Adair County. 54-year-old James Mut Nyang, of Omaha, was arrested by the Iowa State Patrol near mile marker 89 on Interstate 80, at around 4-p.m. on the 6th. His arrest came after a Trooper saw someone kneeling down next to the rear, driver’s side door, and reaching inside. When he pulled up behind the car to check on the status of the driver, the Trooper saw two small children standing on the back seat and an adult male searching under the driver’s seat for something.

As he made contact with the driver, the Trooper saw an open bottle of liquor in the center console cup holder, and the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the driver – subsequently identified as Nyang. His preliminary breath test exceeded .08%. Nyang was transported to the Adair County Jail and a second test registered .209% BAC. Nyang was booked into the jail on charges that include two-counts of Child Endangerment and OWI/2nd offense. His cash or surety bond was set at $2,000.

And, at around 4:13-a.m. on Sept. 6th, 55-year-old Gregory Alan Meierotto, of Keokuk, was arrested by Police in Stuart, for Driving While Barred. His arrest followed a complaint about an SUV that was “all over the road,” westbound on I-80 from mile marker 110. A Stuart Police Officer responded and caught up with the suspect vehicle. He questioned Meierotto, who said he was very tired and falling asleep at the wheel. He also said he did not have a driver’s license, because it had been suspended. He was barred on May 24, 2022.  The man later posted a $2,000 c/s bond.
