(Greenfield, Iowa) – Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports a man from Connecticut was arrested last week, following a traffic stop on Interstate 80, in Adair County. A Trooper with the Iowa State Patrol stopped a 2023 Chevy Tahoe at around 1:40-p.m. on Dec. 13th, for following too close to another vehicle. During interactions with the driver of the Tahoe, 40-year-old Jacob Brett Woodward, of Windsor, CT., the Trooper detected an odor of raw marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. While Woodward was looking for his vehicle paperwork, the Trooper observed in the center console of the vehicle, a plastic container with a zip lock bag that held a green leafy substance, as well as what appeared to be a rolled marijuana blunt.

A probable cause search of the vehicle resulted in the location of THC as well as raw marijuana. Jacob Woodward was arrested for Possession with the Intent to Deliver/Marijuana (2 counts of PCS), a controlled substance violation (Schedule 4 & 5 substances), Failure to Affix a Drug Tax Stamp, and Keeping a vehicle or premise for controlled substance(s).  Woodward was released later that same day on a $5,000 cash or surety bond.

And, at around 10:35-p.m. on Dec. 16th, Police in Stuart arrested 42-year-old Wendi Nicole Wright, of Stuart, on an Adair County warrant for Violation of Probation. Wright was being held without bond in the Adair County Jail, pending an appearance before the Magistrate.
