People arrested are innocent unless proven otherwise in court. Initial charges often change as a case progresses.

LINN COUNTY SHERIFF

Marijuana and meth charges - Detectives executed a search warrant in the 40000 block of Scio-Stayton Loop around 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Timothy John Halsted, 36, of Scio was arrested and charged with possession of meth and marijuana as well as unlawful delivery of marijuana. He was lodged at the Linn County Jail.

Carla Kaye Simmons, 38, of Scio was also arrested on a charge of meth possession. She was cited and conditionally released.

Animal neglect - Deputies responded to a report of a "very skinny, dirty horse" in the 36000 block of Rock Hill Drive around 4:35 p.m. Wednesday. Deputies found a dead foal being eaten by three dogs.

The owner of the animals, Robert J. Willes, reported the foal had been dead for about two weeks. The dogs were taken to foster care and the owner was told to "fatten up" the skinny mare, apparently the dead foal's mother, or the mare would be seized.

Willes was cited for second-degree neglect, a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail, and cited for improper disposal of a carcass.

Burglary arrest - Deputies arrested Jessica Michelle Harms, 18, of Albany in connection with a Feb. 17 burglary of a digital camera, a Wii game system and Wii games, valued at $1,100. Harms was initially questioned about the incident in February but denied stealing the items. On April 12, she admitted to taking them. Harms was scheduled to appear in Linn Circuit Court today.
