On 4/23/2017 at 1917 hrs, The Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office arrested Nicholas John Samson, age 27 of Slayton, MN, on a valid Palo Alto County Warrant. Samson’s charges stem from an August 2011 warrant for Contempt of Court on original charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance and Theft. Samson was transported, without incident, to the Palo Alto County Jail from Dickinson County where he was held on a $1300.00 cash only bond until his 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.
