(Emmetsburg)– A man wanted on warrants for some thefts back in December of 2007 in Palo Alto county was apprehended Tuesday.
48-year-old Todd Friesner was wanted out of Palo Alto county for false information to a peace officer, a simple misdemeanor; and a warrant out of Kossuth county for theft in the first degree…a class “C” felony. Friesner was apprehended at a residence north of Emmetsburg.
The theft charge stems from some aluminum panels and a flatbed truck that were taken from Kossuth county and later found in Palo Alto county.
In addition to apprehending Friesner authorities also Tuesday arrested 52-year-old Steven Farris who was at the same residence. Farris was charged with accessory after the fact…an aggravated misdemeanor…for allegedly harboring Friesner to prevent his apprehension.
