A bench warrant issued for a Stroud man in early June remains outstanding as he now faces a total of six felonies in three separate cases that have been filed against him since early April.
Jeremiah Roy Valenzuela, 38, was formally charged in Lincoln County District Court with endeavoring/conspiracy to deliver, manufacture, possess CDS, a felony.
A $15,000 bench warrant was issued for his arrest on the same day the charge was filed.
Charged with him is a woman identified as Kendra Nicole Kirkpatrick, about 43.
Court records show a $5,000 bond was issued for Kirkpatrick on the day she was charged. On June 18, the warrant was returned and filed and an initial appearance was scheduled for her on July 1.
However, she failed to appear in court, and Special Judge Emily Mueller issued a $10,000 bond for her arrest on the same date.
They are accused of conspiring to commit the crime of selling a controlled dangerous substance, Hydrocodone-Acetamineophen, a felony.
She was also charged in one of those cases with him filed in early April.
Valenzuela was initially charged with two counts of knowingly receiving or concealing stolen property along with Kirkpatrick who was charged with those two counts as well.
Those formal charges were filed in Lincoln County District Court on April 7. Court records show $4,000 bonds were set for each of them and their initial appearances were set for April 8.
Kirkpatrick made her initial appearance as ordered, court records show, but Valenzuela failed to appear and an $8,000 bench warrant was issued for his arrest. The warrant was returned and filed on April 12 and he appeared before Associate District Judge Sheila Kirk on that date.
An $8,000 bond was ordered to remain in effect and he was ordered to reappear on April 19. He was ordered to reappear on May 20.
In Count 1 against the pair, they are accused in concert with one another of concealing a Suzuki 4-wheeler valued at $5,000 that belongs to Jon Yarbrough. The offense allegedly occurred March 6, 2021 in Lincoln County.
Count 2 charges them with being in concert with one another and concealing a Honda Dirt Bike valued at $5,000 that is owned by Jon Yarbrough.
On April 16 in Lincoln County District Court, Valenzuela was formally charged with three additional felonies stemming from a high speed pursuit with County deputies early the morning of April 8.
The felonies filed against him include eluding/attempting to elude police officer, running a roadblock and unlawful use of a police radio.
The first count charges Valenzuela with increasing his speed to elude Deputy Christopher Hyde, endangering the public on April 8 in Lincoln County.
Count 2 accuses him of running a roadblock by driving around Deputy Kevin Chapman, who had set up a roadblock, by driving through the ditch on the same date.
In Count 3, he allegedly used a police radio by monitoring police frequencies by means of a scanner while committing the felony offense of eluding an officer.
