Afton Police Chief John Coulter reports his office is asking for your help in solving a burglary. A resident located along S. Douglas Street, in Afton, reported to police on Nov. 30th that someone entered his home and took several handguns, long guns and ammunition. If you have  any information about the theft call the Afton Police Dept. at 641-347-5255.

Chief Coulter is also warning area residents about a consumer fraud scam, where by someone purporting to be a person’s grandson called, saying they had been arrested and needed money to bond out of jail. In both cases, however, the potential victims of the scam knew where their grandchild was, and hung up on the caller. If you receive this type of phone call, report it to your local law enforcement agency. Coulter advises you to NOT send any money.

A man who was cited for allegedly hunting deer without a license was subsequently arrested late Saturday morning near Bridgewater, for being a felon in possession of a firearm. The Adair County Sheriff’s Office says 59-year old Galen Vern Walters, of Anita, was originally cited by Iowa DNR officer Brian Smith for hunting without a license. A check of his record, however, revealed Walters was a convicted felon. An Adair County deputy met with Smith and seized the shotgun and ammunition Walters had in his possession. Walters was later released on bond.
