(Worth County Prosecutor’s Office) – Michael S. Rennells, 34, Grant City, was charged Monday with two counts of class C felony forgery and one count of class C felony stealing in the Worth County Associate Circuit Court. The charges allege that the incidents occurred over a period from September, 2012 through April, 2013, and involve fraud and theft from the Worth County R-III School District using the District credit card.
According to Worth County Prosecuting Attorney David Baird, the charges follow an investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol Division of Drug and Crime and Control upon request for assistance by Worth County Sheriff Terry Sheddrick.
Baird stated that the charges were filed Monday afternoon and Associate Circuit Judge Joel Miller set bond at $10,000. According to Baird, additional charges could be filed once the complete investigation reports are received from the Highway Patrol.
Under Missouri law the maximum punishment for a class C felony is 7 years in prison and a fine of $5,000.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
