(Greenfield, IA) – Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports two arrests occurred last week. On Feb. 10th, at around 8-a.m., the Iowa State Patrol stopped a vehicle traveling at or slightly in excess of 80-mph on eastbound Interstate 80 in Adair County. The same vehicle, a VW SUV with Indiana license plates, had been reported traveling at a high rate of speed on I-80 through Cass County.

Once the vehicle was stopped, and upon further investigation, the Trooper cited the driver – 53-year-old Timmy Wayne Mohr, of Wabash, IN – for speeding. As he was handing Mohr the citation, the Trooper noticed a vape pen in the SUV’s center console. Mohr acknowledged the pen contained a THC cartridge, but claimed he hadn’t smoked it in a couple of days.

A search of the vehicle resulted in the discovery of a back-pack full of THC products, including marijuana buds packed in dispensary packages, and jar with marijuana joints. Mohr was placed under arrest and transported to the Adair County Jail. He was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance/Marijuana – 1st offense, and later released on a $1,000 cash or surety bond.

And, at around 7:35-p.m. on Feb. 13th,  Adair County Deputies arrested 50-year-old David Allen Jones, of Lamoni, at the Union County Jail. Jones was taken into custody on an Adair County Bench Warrant for Violation of Probation. He was initially held without bond, but then released the following day after making an appearance in Adair County District Court and posting a $2,000 cash-only bond.
