Dallas County Sheriff’s Office Investigates Assault, Suspect Apprehended in Scott County

Dallas County, Iowa – In the early morning hours of January 25, 2025, Dallas County Sheriff’s deputies responded to an assault with a weapon in Redfield. Upon arrival, deputies located a male victim suffering from multiple injuries. The victim reported being struck several times with a wooden object and identified the suspect as Kevin Mains, 68, of Redfield.

Responding deputies conducted an immediate search of the area, but Mains was not located. Dallas County Detectives launched a follow-up investigation, interviewing the victim and witnesses, and determined that the suspect had fled across the state and was potentially staying with a relative. In coordination with the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, efforts were made to locate the suspect.

Later, Scott County deputies apprehended Mains in Princeton, Iowa. At the time of his arrest, he was found in possession of methamphetamine and was charged with:

Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance (Class B felony)
Failure to Affix a Drug Tax Stamp (Class D felony)

Additionally, warrants have been issued for Mains’ arrest in Dallas County on the following charges:

Burglary in the First Degree (Class B felony)
Willful Injury (Class C felony)

The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office extends its gratitude to the Scott County Sheriff’s Office for their cooperation in locating and apprehending the suspect, ensuring public safety.

All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
