Higdon was charged with possession of marijuana…a serious misdemeanor. Higdon was released after posting a one thousand dollar bond.

The other arrest was made Thursday when a deputy pulled over a vehicle on Highway 60 driven by 40-year-old Steven Struse of Ankeny. Upon investigating, authorities learned Struse had been driving without a driver’s license.

A subsequent search of the vehicle turned up a substance alleged to be marijuana. Struse was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana…a serious misdemeanor; and possession of drug paraphernalia…a simple misdemeanor. He was also issued a citation for no valid driver’s license.

Struse was released after posting a 1,600-dollar bond.
