A Lidderdale man accused of stealing thousands of dollars of equipment from a construction site in Carroll this spring made his initial appearance in Carroll County District Court earlier this week. A warrant for second-degree theft, a class D felony, was issued in April for 38-year-old Craig Douglas Vanosdol, who has also reported an address in Ida Grove. A Carroll Police Department investigation determined Vanosdol entered the site on the Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) Carroll Campus on March 29, hooked his vehicle to a trailer and left the scene. Authorities estimate the value of the items stolen at approximately $9,000. Vanosdol was taken into custody at the Woodbury County Sheriff’s Office by the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office on Dec. 5 and brought before a magistrate. He was released on his own recognizance and is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing on Dec. 30.
