Charges Are Brought for School Absences

In the case of Jasper County Board of Education vs. Sherry Ann Caso, enough probable cause was shown to have an arrest warrant issued for Ms. Caso charging her with two counts of violation of the code for mandatory education for minors.

The same charge against Lori and Joseph Little, and David and Dana Pickett were put into abeyance, giving them the opportunity to remedy the situation.

Enough probable cause was also shown to issue an arrest warrant for Kerry Whitley Cherry charged with nonpayment of child support, and for John Henke charged with theft by taking, a felony.

The action came during a recent session of Jasper County Magistrate Court.
