The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports two people from Creston were arrested on drug charges last Thursday. Just after 9-p.m., an Adair County Deputy was on patrol on Henry A. Wallace Road, when he met a car traveling 64 in a 55 zone. After a traffic stop was initiated, and as the deputy was approaching the driver’s side window, he could smell the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle.

The driver of the car was identified as 22-year old Zachary Vincent Clark Dixon, of Creston. During questioning, Dixon confirmed the Deputies’ suspicions about marijuana being in the vehicle, and handed the Deputy a plastic baggie containing a green, leafy substance. A passenger in the car, 28-year old Marrell Curtis Beaman, of Creston, admitted a marijuana pipe, grinder and empty baggies that once contained marijuana, were is bag which was also inside the vehicle. Dixon and Beaman were arrested for Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. They were later released on a signature bond after making an initial appearance before the magistrate.
