• John E. Fassett, 28, Port Crane, was indicted on Dec. 17, 2014 for grand larceny in the third degree, a class D felony and petit larceny, a class A misdemeanor.

It is alleged on July 28 at approximately 4:30 a.m. at a Collier Road residence, in the Town of Smithville, Fassett did steal property belonging to a Smithville resident. He allegedly stole an Arctic Cat 500 ATV 4-wheeler with an approximate value of $6,000.

Fassett was arraigned on Jan. 5 for the class D felony of grand larceny in the third degree and the class A misdemeanor of petit larceny.
