It was then discovered the two had stolen metal from the same property on three other separate occasions and sold it. Schaefer's bond was set at $50,000.00 and Plewka's bond was set at $35,000.00. Both are currently awaiting their first appearance before the Marion County Circuit Court. Assisting in the arrest was the Baxter County Sheriff's Department. |
