Colvin, who was incarcerated in the Palo Alto County Jail on an unrelated charge, caused damage to a water line within the cell in which she was held in. As a result of the damaged water line, water began being dispersed in her cell, an adjacent cell and a cell on the first floor of the jail. Damage was estimated at $350.00. Colvin was held in the Palo Alto County Jail on the serious misdemeanor until her initial appearance before a magistrate.

A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
