Orange City, Iowa — The felony case against an Orange City woman accused of burglary and theft has been dismissed.
The Sioux County Sheriff’s Office says the charges against 24-year old Stacy Carr stem from the investigation into a residential burglary in Hull. Deputies say Carr is accused of entering a residence on Maple Street in Hull without permission and stealing a cell phone.
Carr faced charges of 3rd Degree Burglary, a Class D Felony, and 5th Degree Theft, a Simple Misdemeanor, in connection with the incident.
Sioux County Attorney Thomas Kunstle says that Carr was charged in numerous cases. He says she pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor theft charge and was sentenced to pay a fine, surcharge and other fees and costs, plus 15 days in jail with credit for time served.
In exchange for the voluntary guilty plea in the misdemeanor case, Kunstle said it was decided that since the possibility for obtaining a conviction in the felony case was low, that they would dismiss the felony case. He says also, she is in custody awaiting trial in a class C felony willful injury case in Woodbury County.
