At 11:59 a.m. on August 20, 2020, the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office arrested Lenard Keith Schiller JR. (37) of Ruthven on a valid Palo Alto County arrest warrant for violation of probation. Schiller did not appear for a probation revocation hearing on an original charge of domestic abuse which occurred on March 2, 2020. Schiller was unable to post the $1,000 cash or surety bond and was held in the Palo Alto County Jail to await an initial appearance in front of 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.
