At 6:28 p.m. the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office arrested David Lazo (19) of Emmetsburg on two Palo Alto County warrants. Lazo had a warrant for failure to appear on an original charge of driving without a license, which carried a $750.00 cash only bond and the second warrant was for failure to appear on a original charge of failing to provide proof of financial liability – accident related, which carried a $750.00 cash only bond. Lazo was unable to post the $1,500 cash bond and was transported to the Palo Alto County Jail.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
