A Stroud man faces a total of five felonies in two separate cases that were filed against him within a nine-day period.
A woman identified as his girl friend has been charged in one of those cases with him.
Jeremiah Roy Valenzuela, 37, was initially charged with two counts of knowingly receiving or concealing stolen property along with Kendra Nicole Kirkpatrick, 42, who was charged with those two counts.
Those formal charges were filed in Lincoln County District Court on April 7. Court records show $4,000 bond 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. At that time he was again 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. That offense happened the same date in Lincoln County, the charge states.
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 roadblcok 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 on the same date.
Judge Kirk set a $3,000 bond for Valenzuela and he made his initial appearance on these charges Apr. 19.
He was ordered to reappear at 1:30 p.m. on May 20.
Prosecutors filed supplemental information in the case showing that Valenzuela was convicted on Oct. 20, 2008 in Tulsa County District Court with driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor and sentenced to two years in the custody of the Department of Corrections.
