Sheldon, Iowa — The search of a Sheldon residence prompted by an ambulance call for an unresponsive male, has resulted in yet another arrest.
Sheldon Police Chief Scott Burtch says SCAT was called to 817 4th Street on the afternoon of November 15th, for a male who wasn’t breathing. Sheldon Police were the first emergency personnel to arrive on the scene, and upon their arrival, two occupants of the home reportedly fled the scene. Burtch says that while officers were at the residence, they allegedly observed items that caused them to apply for a search warrant which, according to court records, led to the discovery of more than five grams of methamphetamine, as well as marijuana.
During the course of the search, the home’s female resident, Erin Rooney, reportedly returned home and was arrested on felony and misdemeanor drug charges. Last Saturday, Rooney’s 44-year-old husband, Shawn Rooney, was arrested on a trio of narcotics-related warrants in connection with the November 15th search.
The day after the raid on the Rooney’s home, November 16th, charges were filed against a 21-year-old Le Mars woman in connection with the case. Court records indicate that an arrest warrant for 21-year-old Alexandria Uden was issued on November 18th and she was taken into custody this Thursday (December 2nd). Uden is charged with Gathering Where Controlled Substances Are Used, which is a Class D Felony. She is scheduled for a Preliminary Hearing on the charge on Thursday afternoon, December 23rd in O’Brien County Magistrate Court.
