Sheriff Cox says both Mr Schade and Ms Gault have been charged in Livingston County Court, and both remain incarcerated in the Daviess Dekalb County Regional Jail in lieu of $50,000 cash bond.
In a news release, Cox said “it was alleged that Mr Shade and Ms Gault were acting together when the alleged crime(s) took place.” Cox reminds us that anyone arrested or charged with a crime is in fact innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
