Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports two arrests took place last week. On Wednesday (7/25), 26-year old Dalton James Cormeny, of Creston (and formerly of Murray), was arrested at his sister’s home in Fontanelle, on warrants out of Adair and Clarke Counties, for Violation of Probation.

Authorities say while being taken into custody, Cormeny attempted to discard a small back bag by giving it to his girlfriend. She then attempted to hid it in the home’s laundry room. Inside the bag was a methamphetamine pipe. Cormeny admitted after being read his rights, that the pipe belonged to him. In addition to the warrants, Cormeny was subsequently placed under arrest for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. His cash bond was set at $2,000.

And, on July 28th, 30-year old Wichang Gach Chawech, of Des Moines, was arrested by the Iowa State Patrol, on an Adair County warrant for Violation of Probation. His cash only bond was set at $1,000.
