On Wednesday, October 11th, 2017 at 9:36 p.m. the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office arrested Bryan Markley (27) of Ruthven, Ia on a valid Clay County arrest warrant for failing to appear for an initial appearance on the original charge of intimidation with a dangerous weapon. The arrest warrant was a no bond warrant and Markley was subsequently transported to Clay County officials to appear before a judge.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
