(Creston, Iowa) [edited for clarification 9/6/22]- Sheriff’s officials in Union County report a man they said is linked to vehicle thefts in six different counties was arrested at around 2-p.m., Saturday. 39-year-old Daniel Floyd Edwards is allegedly responsible for a string of motorcycle, car, pick-up, 4-wheeler, tractor, dump truck, and semitrailer thefts in Union, Ringgold, Adams, Adair, Cass and Madison counties. Charges on the offenses were still pending as of the latest information.
Authorities late last week alerted the public to be on the lookout for Edwards, who was wanted for parole violations, with nationwide extradition. He was taken into custody after a pursuit. No injuries were reported.
