On Monday, January 30, 2017, at 3:53 a.m., the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop in the 1100 block of Lawler on a 2000 Ford Expedition, driven by Nathan Krug (18), of Emmetsburg. During the traffic stop, it was discovered that Krug had a suspended driver’s license, which is a simple misdemeanor. Following the traffic stop, Nathan Krug was issued a citation and given a court date on his promise to appear before a magistrate at a later date.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
