Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater, Monday night, released a report on arrests and other activity. The report shows 23-year old Gage Thomas Zimmerline, of Stuart, was arrested at around 12:10-a.m. Saturday, for OWI/1st offense. A deputy had been dispatched to investigate a vehicle in the ditch off Highway 25, near the intersection with 170th Street. Zimmerline, who was still in the vehicle, exited when the deputy approached and explained his 2000 Ford Ranger had spun around on the road, and ended-up in the ditch due to the ice-covered road. The Deputy noticed Zimmerline had a slowed and slurred speech, bloodshot, watery eyes, and an odor of alcohol on his breath. The man admitted he had a couple of beers at the bowling alley in Greenfield. After he refused to take Field Sobriety and Breathalyzer tests, Zimmerline was placed under arrest. He was released later in the day, Saturday, on a $1,000 cash or surety bond, with 10% acceptable.

Late Friday morning, 42-year old Joshua Isaac Stringfield, of Council Bluffs, appeared in Adair County District Court. Stringfield pled guilty to a charge of OWI/3rd or subsequent offense. He was sentenced to 14 days in jail, with credit for time-served. A warrant for his arrest was cancelled as a result of his plea and time served. At around 1:16-a.m. on Feb. 21st. 50-year old Jack Howard Davis, of Orient, was arrested on warrants for Driving While Barred ($1,000 bond), A Class-B felony warrant for a Controlled Substance Violation (No bond) and a warrant for Violation of Parole (No bond). Davis was transported later that same day to the Newton Correctional Facility to be held until an Administrative Law Judge can make a determination on the charges.

On Feb 19th, 23-year old Cody Alan Brommel, of Stuart, was arrested for Disorderly Conduct and 1st offense Public Intoxication, after Stuart Police were called to the Kum and Go Store in Stuart.
