(Greenfield, Iowa) – Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater today (Monday), reported on numerous arrests that took place from June 25th through the 30th:

At around 9:15-a.m. Friday (June 30), Adair County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested 30-year-old Cody Allen Pipkin, of Stuart, at the Adair County Courthouse. Pipkin was wanted on an Adair County warrant for Failure to Appear at a Jan. 9, 2023 Compliance Hearing. He was released a couple of hours later on a $1,000 cash or surety bond.

On June 29th, 49-year-old Manishkumar Baldevbha Chaudhri, of Ogallala, NE., was arrested by Adair Police on eastbound Interstate 80 in Adair County, at around 11:24-p.m., following a report of a impaired or tired driver, and their vehicle having no lights on. Following a traffic stop and investigation, Chaudhri was charged with OWI/1st offense. His BAC ultimately registered .189, or more than double the legal limit for intoxication in the State of Iowa. The man was released the next day on a $1,000 c/s bond.

Also arrested on June 29th, was 56-year-old James Dean Johnston, of Des Moines. He was taken into custody at around 7:05-p.m. by Stuart Police, following a complaint received by the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office, about a vehicle traveling south on the Stuart Road, and being “all over the road.” A Stuart Police Officer – Daniel Irving – observed the suspect vehicle, a Toyota Sienna, as it was traveling north past his location at the intersection of SE 14th and Division Street, in Stuart. Officer Irving saw the vehicle leave the road and drive onto the shoulder. Johnston told the Officer he was “really tired,” and apologized for his driving.

While speaking with Johnston, the Office noticed a glass pipe with a yellow straw, and what appeared to be a white residue inside. The object was swabbed and tested positive for methamphetamine. A Probable Cause search of the vehicle was conducted. Johnston asked the Officer to help him put his boot back on as he stood by the Officer’s patrol vehicle. Officer Irving observed a cigarette pack shoved partially inside Johnston’s sock, with the top halfway open. When the Officer removed the pack, he saw a baggie with a green leafy substance, which was confirmed to be marijuana. Johnston was arrested for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and on two counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance (PCS)/3rd or Subsequent Offense. He was released the following day on a $2,000 c/s bond.

On June 28th, Adair Police arrested 36-year-old Corey Shane Foshee, of Colorado Springs, CO., for PCS/Marijuana -1 st offense. He was arrested at around 7:54-p.m. following a traffic stop just before entering I-80 at the 78-mile marker, in Adair, on a vehicle with expired Colorado license tags. During an investigation, Foshee opened his glove box to retrieve his license and registration. That’s when Officer Sawyer Ocheltree observed a large Zip Lock bag that later tested positive for marijuana. A search of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of a bong, and another, small container of marijuana in the glove box. Foshee was transported to the Adair County Sheriff’s Office and cited for PCS, before being released from custody.
