(Greenfield, Iowa) – Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater, Sunday evening, released a report with details on three recent arrests:

On Oct. 10th, 31-year-old Jasmine Danise Vance, of Pahrump, NV, was arrested on a drug charge following a traffic stop for speeding on eastbound Interstate 80 in Adair County. An Iowa State Patrol Trooper pulled Vance over at around 11:21-a.m., and while interacting with her, became suspicious that criminal activity was taking place. A K9 search on the perimeter of vehicle resulted in the animal “alerting” to the presence of narcotics. A Probable Cause search of the 2023 KIA Soul was conducted, which yielded a plastic bag inside a bag positioned on the front passenger seat, that contained a crystalline substance resembling methamphetamine. Jasmine Vance was subsequently taken into custody for Possession of a Controlled Substance/Methamphetamine. She was transported to the Adair County Jail and held on a $1,000 cash-only bond.

Separately, 36-year-old Alex Jordan Kolthoff, of Lenox, was arrested Oct. 10th in Greenfield, on Adair County warrants for two counts of Harassment in the 2nd Degree, and, for Criminal Mischief in the 4th Degree, Kolthoff was released later that evening on a $1,000 cash or surety bond.

And, on Oct. 9th, 27-year-old Arty Iwo, of Ottumwa, was arrested after an Adair Police Officer traveling north on 5th Street in Adair at around 6:53-p.m., witnessed a 2023 Toyota Tacoma pickup traveling southbound. The vehicle crossed the center line of the road and the driver quickly corrected. Officer Sawyer Ocheltree turned his patrol vehicle around and observed the pickup drive onto the I-80 off-ramp, heading in the wrong direction onto I-80. The pickup nearly struck a vehicle exiting the interstate and then turned around at the bottom of the ramp.

Officer Ocheltree got behind the pickup and initiated a traffic stop, and questioned the driver – identified as Iwo – who told him his GPS told him to turn there. When asked for his license, Iwo said he didn’t have one. A records check determined the license was revoked for OWI test failure. Arty Iwo was placed under arrest for Driving While Revoked, and released the following day, on his Own Recognizance (ROR).
