On 7/7/2016 at 3:11 p.m., The Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office arrested Riley Alan Morton, age 23 of Ruthven, on a valid Palo Alto County Bench Warrant on an original charge of Disarming a Peace Officer. Morton was held with a no bond amount on the Bench Warrant until his initial appearance before a magistrate judge.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
