UPDATE: Dustin Lacey was apprehended by the Linn County Sheriff's Office at 1:08 p.m. today.

Previous Post:

The Linn County Sheriff’s Office is looking for Dustin Lacey, 42, of Anamosa, who is wanted on an active warrant for 3rd-Degree Burglary and is now facing additional charges following a pursuit last night.

What Happened:
9:33 PM (July 7): Deputies spotted Lacey in the area of Waubeek Rd and Rowley Rd. He fled in a Gold Cadillac Escalade, heading east on Waubeek Rd. Due to heavy gravel dust, deputies lost sight of the vehicle.

11:10 PM (July 7): A motorist reported a rollover crash at the intersection of Boy Scouts Road and Game Club Road. The vehicle was the same Gold Cadillac Escalade.

It is believed Lacey lost control, rolled the vehicle, and managed to flee the scene on foot before law enforcement arrived. Drones and K9s searched the area, but he was not located.

There is currently no active threat to the public, but Lacey remains at large, and eluding/traffic charges are pending.

👥 How You Can Help:

If you know where Dustin Lacey is, or if you saw anything suspicious near Boy Scouts Road late last night, please speak up!
