ADEL, IOWA – An Iowa motorcyclist wanted on meth charges led police on a dangerous high-speed chase before crashing and being taken into custody.
On June 8, 2023 at approximately 3:40PM a Deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office observed a motorcycle traveling east out of Adel at a high rate of speed. The Deputy attempted to pull the motorcycle over and a short chase ensued.
The motorcycle entered the Raccoon Valley Bike trail at Prospect Ave and lost control, crashing onto it’s side. The driver was then arrested and identified as 26-year-old Joshua Stanley from Redfield, Iowa.
Stanley was arrested and charged with driving under suspension, no insurance, eluding (2nd offense), improper registration, operating a non-registered vehicle, failure to maintain control, and reckless driving.
Stanley was also found to have warrants out of Polk County for Prohibited Acts-Possession with Intent to Deliver over 5 grams of Methamphetamine, Failure to Affix an Iowa Drug Tax Stamp, and Probation Violation. There is no bond on these warrants.
This investigation is open and more charges are possible.
