Alvord, Iowa — One person has been charged and arrested after an investigation into a tractor that had been reported stolen in Lyon County.
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office reports that on Saturday night, September 26th, their office received a call about 10:50 PM. The caller told the dispatcher that a John Deere 6410 tractor had been taken from a farm site in the 2500 block of 190th Street, two miles northeast of Alvord.
