On 11/8/17 the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office arrested Ronnie Ray Mere Jr. (36) of Olin, Ia., on a valid Palo Alto County Arrest Warrant for Failure to Appear on a Show Cause Hearing. Mere was unable to post the $500.00 cash only bond and was transported from the Jones County Jail in Anamosa, Ia., to the Palo Alto County Jail to await his initial appearance 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.
