An Audubon man remains in custody at the Audubon County jail following his arrest last week on burglary and theft charges. Twenty-six-year-old Zeth Lee Petersen was booked on charges of third-degree burglary, a class D felony, two counts of third-degree theft and one count of possession of a controlled substance, aggravated misdemeanors. According to the Audubon County Sheriff’s Office, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Petersen’s residence with assistance from the Audubon Police Department and recovered items that had been reported stolen in a recent string of thefts in Exira. He is being held on a $10,000 bond. Petersen has a history of theft-related convictions in Audubon and Carroll Counties, most recently in January 2022 for breaking into the Manning Service Center and stealing tools and a vehicle.
