A woman from central Iowa faces OWI & PCS charges following an accident investigation on westbound Interstate 80 in Adair County, Saturday. The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports 31-year old Miranda Lynn Torres, of Des Moines, was reportedly driving her SUV all over the road prior to ending up partially in the median next to a cable barrier, near Menlo.

EMS dispatched to the scene at around 5:10-a.m. reported the woman would not get out of her vehicle and that they had witnessed a gallon-size zip-style plastic baggie with a large quantity of marijuana on the front passenger seat. There was also a strong smell of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle.

Torres said she was on her way to Florida, but became lost, so she decided to pull over and sleep. The woman admitted to a Deputy that she had smoked marijuana the night before. A marijuana blunt and marijuana were confirmed to be inside the SUV. Torres also blew over the legal limit on a breath test for alcohol consumption. She was taken into custody for OWI/1st offense and Possession of a Controlled Substance/Marijuana. Torres was released later that same day on a $2,000 cash or surety bond.

And, on Feb. 26th, 37-year old Joseph Lee Reynolds, of Stuart, was arrested by an Adair County Deputy, on warrants for Violation of Probation, and Driving While Barred. He was being held in the Adair County Jail, on a $10,000 cash-only bond.
