Four people, including a juvenile, were arrested over the past week, in Adair County. Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports that at around 2:30-a.m. Saturday, 43-year old Barry L. Montgomery, of Springfield, IL., was arrested by Police in Adair, for OWI/1st offense. His arrest followed a call from the Adair County Sheriff’s Office to an Adair Police Officer, with regard to a vehicle that had driven into the side of a shed, in Adair. Upon arrival, the Officer noticed a red truck in the alley touching the shed, which had sustained noticeable damage. A further investigation, including a Field Sobriety test, determined Montgomery was under the influence. In addition to the OWI charge, he was cited for two traffic violations. He was being held in the Adair County Jail on a $1,000 cash or surety bond.

A juvenile was arrested last week as well, but no information was released, because of their age. On Jan. 28th, 30-year old Joseph Dean White, of Adair, an inmate at the Adair County Jail, was charged with Violation of a No Contact/Protective Order, after he allegedly attempted to twice make contact with the protected female party via text message, while in the jail. White allegedly used another inmate’s cell phone. Records at the Sheriff’s Office show White has also attempted to call the woman’s number 183 times from Jan. 22nd to the 27th. During some of the calls, White asked the woman to set-up an account with a telephone service the Adair County Jail uses, for inmates. White remains in the Adair County Jail without bond, until he makes his initial court appearance.

And, on Jan. 26th, an Iowa State Patrol Trooper arrested 29-year old Enisa Dubo, of Grimes, on an Adair County warrant for Failure to Appear at an arraignment hearing in November, on an original charge of OWI/1st offense. She was released later that same day on a $1,000 cash or surety bond.
