On 04/06/2018 at 9:24 a.m. the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office arrested Daniel Lee Starnes, 47, of Manchester on a valid Palo Alto County warrant. The warrant was for contempt of court on failure to appear and failure to pay fines on the original charges of Child Endangerment with Serious Injury a Class “D” felony, Child Endangerment an Aggravated Misdemeanor, and Indecent Contact with a Child an Aggravated Misdemeanor. Starnes was unable to post the $500.00 cash only bond and was booked into the Palo Alto County Jail to await his initial appearance before the magistrate.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
