FERTILE, Iowa – A Forest City man is facing multiple charges after authorities say he was caught stealing fishing poles.
Steven Duane Strand, 68, is accused of 1st degree burglary, assault, assault on a peace officer, and driving while revoked. The Worth County Sheriff’s Office says it arrested Strand on June 29 after being called to a home in the 100 block of E Main Street in Fertile.
A resident says he saw Strand stealing his fishing poles and when he asked why Strand was taking his stuff, Strand punched him in the face. The resident got his phone and called 911, then says he went back to Strand and got punched again. Law enforcement says the resident then forced Strand to the ground and took his car keys so he couldn’t leave.
