Orange City, Iowa — A Remsen man who had been released on bail after being jailed in Sioux County last month, is back behind bars.
Back on May 12th, 35-year-old Alfred James Nelson was arrested by Orange City Police after allegedly entering an Orange City residence and assaulting a male victim while children were present. As a result of their investigation, police say Nelson was charged with 1st Degree Burglary, Assault While Participating in a Felony, Assault Causing Bodily Injury, and four counts of Child Endangerment. Nelson was later released on bail, and a no-contact order was issued as a condition of his bail, according to authorities.
Court records indicate that after being released on bail, Nelson was arrested on two separate occasions for Felony Stalking and Violating a No-Contact Order for allegedly harassing the victim in the May 12th incident. Due to the two alleged incidents, the Sioux County Attorney’s Office made a motion with the Court asking that Nelson’s bail be revoked, because the original bail “no longer insured the community’s safety.” The Bail Revocation motion was granted, and Nelson was arrested by Orange City Police on Tuesday (June 23rd).
As of mid-afternoon Wednesday, Nelson was still being held in the Sioux County Jail in lieu of a $26,500 Cash Only bond, according to jail records.
