Sioux Center, Iowa — A Sioux Center woman faces a felony charge after she allegedly over-billed a contractor.
According to a complaint filed by the Sioux Center Police Department with the Sioux County Clerk of Court’s Office, 28-year-old Blanca Castro Ramos faces three class D felony counts — one for second-degree theft, and two for second-degree fraudulent practice.
The arresting officer says that a couple of months ago, Castro Ramos allegedly over-billed for a service by $8710, and kept the money for herself.
She was arrested last week, but was released the same day after posting a $15,000 bond.
Both charges are class D felonies. If convicted of a class D felony, Castro Ramos could face up to five years in prison on each count. She faces arraignment on December 5th in Sioux County District Court in Orange City.
