(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports three arrests took place over the past week. As previously mention, 52-year-ol Donnell Marie Griffith was arrested Sept. 16th in Fontanelle, on an Adair County Class D Felony warrant for Going Armed with Intent. The Sheriff’s report says that on Sept. 11th, Griffith allegedly went armed with a handgun, with the intent to use it without justification. The report said Griffith claimed the weapon  – a Smith and Wesson .38-Special –  accidentally discharged when she pulled it out of her pants and put it on a shelf in the kitchen.

The investigating Deputy informed her he responded because a 911 caller claimed she had pointed a gun at the caller. Griffifth said “If that would have happened, I would just put one right between his eyes.” Four unused rounds and a spent shell casing were taken into evidence at the scene. Griffith was being held in the Adair County Jail on a $5,000 cash or surety bond.

Friday afternoon, 32-year-old Amber Leigh Garrison, of Fontanelle, was arrested by Fontanelle Police, on warrants for Harassment in the 3rd Degree, and Reckless Use of a Firearm – resulting in property damage.
