(Greenfield, Iowa) – Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports three arrests. Most recently, last Friday afternoon, 42-year-old Thomas Jefferson Pearcy, of Portland, OR., was arrested by Stuart Police near a car dealership in Stuart. Pearcy was arrested on two counts of Harassment in the 1st Degree, after he allegedly yelled at a man and woman in a vehicle whom he did not know, and threatened to harm them. When confronted by Police, Pearcy gave them a false name. His identity was determined after he was fingerprinted. Bond was set at $2,000.

On Nov. 8th at around 6-p.m., Police in Adair arrested 60-year-old Judith Ann Schmidt, of Adair, for Possession of a Controlled Substance/Marijuana – 3rd offense, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Her arrest was the result of a traffic stop. During an investigation, the Officer found in Schmidt’s vehicle, a small container in her purse, as well as two tools that had marijuana residue. She also admitted to having a pipe on her that contained marijuana. Schmidt was released a few hours later on a $2,300 cash or surety bond.

And, on Nov. 7th, at around 11:40-p.m., 32-year-old Victor Tyleak-Dommick Walker, of Brooklyn, NY, was arrested for Simple Eluding. A Trooper with the Iowa State Patrol attempted to stop a dark colored sedan on eastbound I-80 near mile marker 89, for speeding 86 in a 70 mph zone. As he approached the vehicle in his patrol cruiser, the car increased speed and began to pull away.

The Trooper activated his emergency lights and siren. The suspect vehicle exited the interstate and proceeded south on Adair-Madison Avenue for one-mile, before the car went out of control and into the east ditch. There, it entered a shallow creek and came to rest. Walker was released from the Adair County Jail the following afternoon, on his Own Recognizance.
