According to the indictment, Rusty Farley, 41, committed the crimes December 12, 2024 in Newton County.
The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed charges against Farley following the December 12 arrest.
In a news release, Prosecuting Attorney William Lynch noted that Farley's alleged crimes were committed shortly after he had been released early on a previous conviction.
“As stated in my motion for high bond, Mr. Farley was sentenced to five years in the Department of Corrections on March 1, 2022 and released less than a year later. While the allegations against Mr. Farley are serious, what is more serious is our community once again being made less safe by the Department of Corrections’ catch-and-release policies.”Farley's arraignment and detention hearing are scheduled for 10:45 a.m. Thursday in Springfield.

Golly!
The prosecutor blames the Department of Corrections for operating a "catch and release policy".
Who knows?
Usually though, it's the prosecutors and the judges that are blaqmed for operating the 'catch and release schemes'.
It would be more than a little self righteous and insincere though if this prosecutor was making plea deals for this and other defendants that allowed them to plead guilty to lesser charges.
