Sheriff vehicleA man injured in a farm accident in northeast Iowa is now facing drug charges.

Fayette County Sheriff’s deputies were sent to farm near Arlington Tuesday afternoon on the report of a suspicious, white, powdery substance found in a grain bin.

The investigation led deputies to 59-year-old Lyle Keding, who earlier in the day was injured in a farm machinery accident and hospitalized. Once he was discharged from the hospital, Keding was arrested.

He’s now facing charges that include possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver.
