Charles City man accused of stealing hundreds of dollars worth of tools skips court date

CHARLES CITY – A man with a long criminal record accused by Charles City police of stealing hundreds of dollars worth of tools skipped his court date this month and was arrested.

According to police, officers took a report of a theft in the 800 block of South Grand Avenue on Sunday, August 24 at 2:07 AM. Police said that tools valued at about $400 had been stolen earlier in the night. Officers then canvased the area and recovered the missing items. As part of that investigation, 40-year-old Courtland Smith was arrested and charged with fourth degree theft. Smith was released from jail the same day on his own recognizance and later pled not guilty. He was set for a hearing on November 4, but failed to appear, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Charles City police caught up with Smith last week and brought him to jail. He is now set for a November 24 hearing.

Smith recently pled guilty to second offense public intoxication in connection to an arrest on February 21, 2014. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail with all but 5 suspended, a year of probation, and assessed $709.25 in fines and court fees.
