On 11/23/2016 at 1:35 p.m. the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office arrested Dakota Carl Mullen, 21, of Rock Valley on a valid Palo Alto County warrant for contempt of court on the original charge of OWI Drugged 1st Offense, a serious misdemeanor. Mullen was unable to post the $500.00 cash only bond and was placed in jail to await his initial appearance before the judge.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
