Numerous new charges have been filed as Storm Lake authorities investigate allegations that a local resident had been harassing and making death threats to others. Thirty-six-year-old Adam Ferrin was arrested on Thursday afternoon after the Storm Lake Police Department received complaints from two individuals saying Ferrin had sent unwanted messages, one containing a warning that Ferrin was going to kill the recipient. A search warrant on the vehicle impounded at the time of Ferrin’s arrest was requested and received, and authorities uncovered a large amount of drugs, drug-related items and two knives. Police allege they found 24 packages of marijuana totaling 229 grams, 17 grams of methamphetamine broken out into six different packages, other items believed to be controlled substances, a scale and drug paraphernalia. They also seized two knives with blades approximately eight inches in length, which were located near the driver’s seat in the vehicle. Ferrin remains in custody at the Buena Vista County jail and additional charges have been added. These include: possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, with intent to deliver, a class B felony; possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, marijuana and two counts of failure to affix a drug tax stamp, all class D felonies; carrying weapons, a serious misdemeanor; and possession of drug paraphernalia, a simple misdemeanor. Ferrin is being held on a $9,000 bond. The investigation is ongoing.
