Sheldon, Iowa — A Matlock woman has been arrested on two valid arrest warrants charging she violated her probation from earlier cases.
According to online O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office Arrest Records, 22-year old Lacey Rose O’Clair was arrested Tuesday on two probation violation warrants that, according to online court records, are for felony charges dating back as far as July, 2015.
Sheldon Police Chief Lyle Bolkema says one of the warrants dates back to January, 2016, when O’Clair was charged with 2nd Degree Theft, a Class D Felony, for allegedly passing checks on a closed account that she knew wouldn’t be honored. Bolkema says the checks were passed in Sheldon and Rock Valley.
