Jefferson St., was charged with failure to affix a drug tax stamp, possession of paraphernalia, violation of a protective order, possession of marijuana and two counts of possession of a controlled substance 9 p.m. Wednesday at his residence. Vandel was also charged on a Department of Corrections warrant for violation of parole 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Union County Jail.
According to a Creston Police report, Vandel did violate a protective order by going to the residence of 600 N. Division St. to get his clothing. Vandel admitted to going to the residence and having contact with the resident, but said he did not know he couldn’t be at the residence. The resident said he could go one time in the presence of officers. This did not allow him to go on his own. Vandel admitted to being at the residence three days while the resident was away.
During an investigation of the violation of the protective order, Vandel was charged and he asked officers to get his phone from the room he was staying. The resident consented to a search of the residence, and a bag containing 16 hydrocodone pills was discovered near his phone. Vandel failed to affix a drug tax stamp as required for more than 10 dosage units. Also during the investigation, a glass pipe containing a green leafy substance consistent with marijuana was discovered in an area Vandel had access to. A bag containing a green leafy substance was discovered on the couch where Vandel was seated. Vandel has a prior possession of marijuana conviction. A bag of alprazalam was discovered in the room Vandel was staying in near his phone.
