On Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at 4:24 p.m. the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office arrested Stephen Allis (54) of Graettinger, Ia on two Emmet County arrest warrants. The warrants stem from the original charges of OWI – 1st Offense, Possession of Controlled Substance – 1st Offense, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Allis was unable to post the combined $2000 cash or surety bond and subsequently transferred to Emmet County authorities.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
