Sioux Center, Iowa — A Hudson, South Dakota woman has been arrested on a warrant for an original charge of theft by check.
According to the Sioux County arrest log, Sioux Center Police officers arrested 35-year-old Gretchen Marie Gardner on Friday on warrants for Second Degree Theft, Violation of Probation, and Failure to Appear.
Court records indicate that the Sioux Center Police Department alleges that Gardner allegedly wrote six checks to two convenience stores in Sioux Center, totaling $1067.60 in November and December of 2016. Two of them bounced due to non-sufficient funds, and four were returned unpaid because the routing number was wrong, according to the police department.
Second Degree Theft is a class D felony. If convicted, Gardner could face five years in prison and a fine of between $750 and $7500.
