Alluisi was also arrested on a warrant out of Dallas County. He was brought to the Adair County Jail and later transferred into the custody of Dallas County deputies.

On Nov. 25th, 49-year old Ronald Lee Shedenhelm, of Logan, was arrested by an Iowa State Patrol Trooper on Interstate 80, in Adair County.

On Nov. 20th, Greenfield Police arrested 31-year old Barrett Martin Driskill, of Afton, and 41-year old Mandi Lea Stowers, of Orient, after the vehicle they were in was stopped near the intersection of Highways 92 and 25. Driskill and Stowers were taken into custody for Violation of a No Contact Order. Stowers faces an additional charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance, 3rd or subsequent offense, after Police found her to be in possession of a toothbrush container that allegedly contained a clear liquid substance believed to be meth. Both subjects were later released on their own recognizance.

And, a central Iowa man was arrested on eastbound Interstate 80 in Adair County at around 8-a.m. on Nov. 20th, after an Iowa State Patrol Trooper stopped a vehicle for speeding. Prior to stopping for the Trooper, the vehicle driven 21-year old Albert Saye Dweh, of Urbandale, was observed by the Trooper, swerving all over the road. The report said Dweh nearly lost control of the 2016 Hyundai Elantra. The Trooper had to pull beside the man’s car to get his attention, when his cruiser’s lights emergency lights failed to garner Dweh’s attention.

While speaking with Dweh, the Trooper detected a strong odor of alcohol, and saw an open container on the rear passenger side floor board. A container of bourbon was also found in the vehicles’ arm rest. Dweh told the Trooper that he was coming from a baby shower, celebrating a semi-pro football team, and that he had gotten lost before ending up in Harlan, and finally making his way back to I-80.

At the Adair County Jail, Dweh’s Breath Alcohol Content tested at .136, nearly twice the legal limit for intoxication. He was released from the jail later in the afternoon on Nov. 20th, on a $1,000 cash bond, or surety.
