(Stuart, Iowa) – Stuart Police Chief David Reha, Saturday evening, posted a report on social media, with regard to an ongoing investigation that has resulted in multiple arrests, the recovery of incendiary devices, drugs and a “hit list” with the names of several law enforcement officials. A Stuart man, 52-year-old Bobby Glen Agan, was arrested and booked into the Adair County Jail. He faces several felony and misdemeanor charges including Stalking (Dangerous Weapon), Possession of a Controlled Substance (x2, Second Offense), Possession of Prescription Medications, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of an Offensive Weapon, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.

Chief Reha says officers with the Stuart Police Department successfully executed a search warrant in the 500 block of South Harrison Street Friday night, August 16th, and continuing into the early hours of Saturday, August 17th. Their action was the culmination of a month-long investigation by Stuart Police, aimed at addressing a series of incidents involving projectiles directed at a local residence.

The investigation began after reports indicated that an individual was allegedly launching various hard metal projectiles toward a home in the 500 block of S. Gaines Street. These projectiles were launched at the home multiple times over a period of several weeks. Several of the projectiles were equipped with fireworks designed to explode upon impact. These actions caused considerable damage to the home and distress to the residents.
During the search of the property in the 500 block of S. Harrison Street, officers discovered numerous items with fireworks attached in a manner similar to those used in the reported incidents along with multiple launching devices. Additionally, officers found various items of drug paraphernalia, controlled substances, and multiple illegal firearms. A “hitlist” was also uncovered, containing names of several local law enforcement officers.
Chief Reha says this remains an ongoing investigation. Additional charges may be filed, and additional suspects may be named. If you have information regarding this investigation or others, please reach out to Stuart Police.
