On 12/31/2016 at 8:22 a.m. the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office arrested Michael James Gehrt, 47, of Mallard on a valid Kossuth County warrant for Fraudulent Practice in the 2nd Degree, a Class “D” Felony. Gehrt was able to post the $3,000.00 cash or surety bond and was released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
