Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports three arrests took place last week. Friday night, 31-year old Vincent Edward Long, of Stuart, was arrested on Adair County felony warrants for Child Endangerment with serious injury, and assault with injury. Long was released the following day on a $5,000 cash or surety bond. Also arrested Friday night, was 30-year old Andrew Virgil Martin, of Fontanelle. He was taken into custody for OWI/1st offense, following a traffic stop that occurred after an Adair County Deputy saw Martin’s vehicle cross the fog line on the shoulder of the road. After the deputy turned around and attempted to catch up with the suspect vehicle, he clocked its speed at 66 in a 55 zone. Further investigation determined Martin was over the legal alcohol limit to drive, at .112%. Martin was cited and later released with a summons to appear in court.

And, at around 2:11-a.m. Thursday, 35-year old John Lyle Vanscoy, of Afton, was arrested on Union County warrants for a Controlled Substance Violation (a Class-B Felony), driving while barred, and eluding. He was held in the Adair County Jail until released to Union County Deputies.
