(Greenfield, IA) – The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports a man from Cass County (IA) was arrested over the weekend, on drug charges. 46-year-old Shawn Glen Wolverton, of Atlantic, was arrested Saturday evening for Possession of a Controlled Substance/3rd or Subsequent offense, and Poss. of Drug Paraphernalia. He was taken into custody following an investigation into a report at around 5:12-p.m., Saturday, about an unresponsive male in a vehicle that was in the middle of the road in the 2000 block of Pinewood Ave., in Adair County. When an Adair County Sheriff’s Deputy arrived on the scene, he saw Wolverton passed out behind the wheel in the driver’s seat of his vehicle, the engine running and not in park.

EMS personnel knocked on the window of the vehicle and tried to get Wolverton to wake up. When he did wake up, he drove his vehicle a few feet before coming to a stop. EMS reached through the driver’s side window and put the vehicle in park before shutting it off. The deputy’s report said Wolverton was acting strangely by bouncing around the vehicle. After he got out of the vehicle, the report says Wolverton kept trying to reach through the back left window and pulled away from the deputy.

Once inside the deputy’s vehicle, Wolverton was checked-out by EMS and cleared. He was also questioned by the deputy. During a probable cause search of the man’s vehicle, the deputy found a black, partially opened sunglasses case with a meth pipe inside. A small zip-style bag with suspected methamphetamine was also found in the sunglasses case. At the Adair County Jail, Wolverton reportedly admitted to using meth and possessing the drug. His previous convictions on controlled substance charges occurred in 2012 and 2015 in Polk County, and in Adair County in 2015. The report said he has numerous other drug charges and convictions.  Wolverton was being held in the Adair County Jail on a $5,000 cash or surety bond.

The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports also, 31-year-old Samantha Marie Delong, of Orient, was arrested at around 2:15–a.m. on Nov. 16th, following an investigation into a vehicle found in a ditch at the intersection of Highway 92 and Stuart Road, in Adair County. Delong was found in the vehicle and denied being injured. During questioning, she admitted to having had a couple of beers in Stuart. A Standardized Field Sobriety Test and Preliminary Breath Test resulted in her arrest for OWI/1st offense. At the Adair County Jail, her breath-alcohol test results measured .167%, or slightly more than twice the legal limit for intoxication. DeLong was released from custody shortly thereafter, with a citation.
