(Greenfield, Iowa) The Adair County Sheriff’s Department reports two people were arrested and one person was cited over the past week. Last Wednesday, just before noon, 38-year-old Trel Curtis Peterson, of Des Moines, was arrested at the Adair Kum and Go convenience store. Peterson was taken into custody on an Adair County felony warrant fro Eluding/2nd or subsequent offense. He was being held without bond in the Adair County Jail until seen by a magistrate.

Last Tuesday evening, 43-year-old Donna Marie Ott, of Des Moines, was cited following a traffic stop in Greenfield. Ott was issued a citation for Driving While Barred. She was also issued a written warning for Failure to Provide Proof of Financial Liability.

And, on June 17th at around 2:18-a.m., Police in Stuart arrested a Missouri man following a traffic stop on westbound Interstate 80. The traffic stop was initiated after a woman called the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office to report a GMC Sierra was “all over the road,” and not maintaining its speed. The same vehicle drove past the Stuart Police Officer near the 93 mile marker.

Officer Shane Martinson observed the vehicle swerving from lane-to-lane and cross the fog line multiple times. The pickups’ speeds varied from 53-to 74-miles per hour. After the Officer stopped the vehicle, he questioned the driver, 39-year-old Oscar Orlando Villanueva-Tabora, of Kansas City, MO. The man told him he was just tired, but Martinson saw the man’s eyes were blood-shot and watery, his speed was slurred, and that there was an odor of alcohol in the vehicle. Two open and empty bottles of Fireball liquor were found on the passenger side floorboard of the vehicle, and a white grocery bag near the console contained an open and partially empty bottle of Jack Daniels alcohol.

Tabora failed the Field Sobriety Tests and a Breath Alcohol Content test, which registered .198% (twice the legal limit for intoxication, in Iowa). He was placed under arrest for OWI/1st offense, Open Container, No Valid license, and failure to provide proof of insurance.

Villanueva-Tabora was released later that same day on a $1,000 bond.
