The Adams County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest of a Creston man on multiple charges this past Sunday. On May 28th at 1:24pm Adams County Deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a red Buick Regal because it was not displaying license plates. The vehicle failed to stop and fled westbound on Highway 34 from the Redwood Avenue intersection at approximately 96 miles per hour. Later the vehicle turned southbound onto Quince Avenue and pulled into a driveway. The driver jumped out of the vehicle and became very hostile. The driver resisted but was eventually taken into custody.

It was determined the driver was 33-year-old Steven Lamar of Creston. Lamar was charged with two counts of Assault on Persons Engaged in Certain Occupations, Possession of Stolen Property, Interference with Official Acts, Possession of a Controlled Substance (Marijuana), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. It was also determined the vehicle was stolen from Creston and was later returned to its owner. The case remains under investigation.
