On Tuesday, July 16th, the 10th Judicial Circuit Court of Marion County issued a warrant for Caleb S. Nelson, 19 of Hannibal, charging him with Accessory to Burglary. The charges stem from an incident that began on Monday at approximately 10:00am in the 500 block of Munger. An area church had discovered their building had been ransacked and items were missing. In less than two hours of the initial report officers took two juveniles and Nelson into custody in the 4000 block of Green Meadows. A search warrant was conducted where the juveniles and Nelson had been located. Items from the church as well as items from local vehicle break-ins had been recovered. Nelson’s bond was set at $50,000.00 cash or surety. He remains in the Marion County Jail.

A criminal charge is merely an allegation and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
