Man Arrested For Alleged Vehicle Theft

According to the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office, on Monday, May 29, at approximately 11:10 am, a 911 call came into the Communications Center. The caller reported a single-vehicle accident located on Highway 59, south of the Highway 141 south junction. The vehicle was traveling south on Highway 59 and for unknown reasons crossed the northbound lane and went into the East ditch, into a creek. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Damien Hunt of Dubuque, Iowa. Hunt exited his vehicle and approached two bystanders who had stopped to assist him. Hunt went back to his vehicle and then approached the two bystanders again, returning with what appeared to be a knife in his pocket. The suspect attempted to get into one of the bystander’s vehicles by climbing through the driver’s side window but was unsuccessful. He then went to the second vehicle and broke out the rear back window and entered the vehicle. There were three occupants inside the vehicle, who were able to exit without harm. Hunt drove away from the scene in the bystander’s truck. Law enforcement arrived shortly after the incident and attempted to locate the stolen vehicle. On Tuesday, May 30, Hunt was arrested at his mother’s house in Jones County, Iowa without incident. Hunt is being charged with Robbery 1st degree, Theft 2nd Degree, Burglary 3rd, and Driving While Barred. Assisting agencies include the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office, Manilla Fire and Rescue, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Denison Police Department, Iowa State Patrol, Iowa State Patrol Airplane, Crawford County Memorial Hospital, and Jones County Sheriff’s Office. All charges are allegations, and the people charged in this case are to be considered innocent until or unless proven guilty in a court of law.
