Fayette County, IA – Deputies responded to a two-vehicle-related incident early Monday morning after a pickup truck struck a deer on a rural Fayette County roadway west of Elgin, followed by an unrelated arrest later in the day involving assault charges.
According to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office, the crash was reported at approximately 6:46 a.m. Monday on Golden Road near G Avenue, about three miles west of Elgin.

Authorities reported no injuries as a result of the crash. However, the vehicle sustained an estimated $5,000 in damage. No citations were announced in connection with the incident.
Later that same day, at approximately 4:13 p.m. Monday, a Fayette County Sheriff’s deputy arrested Robert T.C. Gould, 45, of Oelwein, on a valid Fayette County arrest warrant, according to the sheriff’s office.
Gould was arrested on charges including assault causing injury, domestic assault with injury, assault displaying a dangerous weapon, and false imprisonment, authorities said. Police allege the charges stem from a prior investigation. Gould was transported to the Fayette County Jail, where he is being held pending an initial court appearance.
Bond was set at $5,000, officials confirmed. The Oelwein Police Department assisted with the arrest.
Authorities did not release additional details about either incident. Both cases remain under the jurisdiction of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office.
