STATE OF IOWA,

SAC COUNTY

I, the undersigned, being duly sworn, state that all facts contained in this Complaint and Affidavit, known by me or told to me by other reliable persons form the basis for my
belief that the defendant committed this crime
State all facts and persons relied upon supporting elements of alleged crime

On February 14, 2016, I was called to a vehicle stopped in the middle of the road. As I was en route I was advised that the reporting party out with the
vehicle said he woke the drive up and the driver took off south on Highway 175. I was then advised that the RP saw the vehicle pulled over into the
parking lot of Sparky's in Auburn. I arrived at that location and saw the vehicle parked. I approached the vehicle and saw two empty bottles of Reds
Apple Ale on the center console by a person sleeping. I knocked on the window and woke the occupant. I spoke with the occupant (identified as
Vincent Trent) and asked him out of the vehicle. As he exited the vehicle I saw a white bag with the label THC on it. As Trent was exiting the vehicle he
stated he was coming from Colorado. I asked Trent if he went to Colorado to get Marijuana and he denied it. Trent was taken back to my vehicle and I
went back and looked inside the bag. Inside the bag was a little under 1/4 oz of marijuana in various packaging. Trent was placed under arrest and
charged with possession.

ORDER

Defendant

Defendant appears before the court as required by the release order. Defendant is charged with
possession of marijuana, a 2nd offense. Pursuant to Iowa code section 124.401(5) this charge is an
aggravated misdemeanor and the penalty in the event of a conviction is as set forth in Iowa code
section 903.1(b) which provides for a fine of not less than $315 and not to exceed $1875 plus 35%
surcharge, a $125 LEI surcharge and costs, and imprisonment not to exceed one year.
The court advised the defendant that he does have a right to remain silent, that anything he says
can and will be used against him in a court of law. He was advised that he does have a right to have
an attorney present at all stages of the proceedings and, if he is unable to afford counsel, that upon
proper application one will be appointed for him. He was advised that he is presumed innocent of the
offense unless he pleads guilty or is proven guilty by proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
A preliminary hearing on this matter is scheduled for March 15, 2016 at 10:15 AM. The defendant was
advised that ordinarily preliminary hearings do not occur in Sac County in these types of cases and
that he should contact the county attorney at (712) 662-4791 prior to appearing for the preliminary
hearing. The defendant's appearance bond is continued.

IN THE IOWA DISTRICT COURT FOR SAC COUNTY


STATE OF IOWA,

SRCR013023
Plaintiff,

v.
VINCENT SCOTT TRENT II,

RECORD OF PLEA OF GUILTY AND


SENTENCING ORDER

Defendant.
DATE:

June 10, 2016

CHARGE:

Possession of Marijuana, a serious misdemeanor, in violation of


Iowa Code 124.401(5)

Defendant has filed a written guilty plea and a waiver of Defendants right to be
present for sentencing. Defendant asks that the plea to the above charge be accepted
and that sentence be imposed pursuant to the plea arrangement agreed upon by the
parties without the formality of the record required by Rules 2.8 and 2.10 of the Iowa
Rules of Criminal Procedure.
The Court hereby informs Defendant that Defendants plea of guilty to the
above-referenced charge is accepted.
IT IS THE ORDER OF THE COURT AS FOLLOWS:
1.
Defendant is adjudicated guilty of the crime of Possession of Marijuana in
violation of Iowa Code 124.401(5).
2.
Defendant is hereby sentenced as follows:
a.
Defendant shall pay all of the following financial obligations:
(1)
a fine in the sum of $315.00;
(2)
a 35% surcharge of $110.25;
(3)
a $10.00 DARE surcharge pursuant to Iowa Code Section
911.2;
(4)
a $125.00 law enforcement initiative surcharge pursuant to
Iowa Code Section 911.3;
(5)
restitution in an amount to be determined at a later time.
The State shall file a statement of pecuniary damages within
30 days of todays date, or no restitution shall be ordered.
Upon filing of such a statement, the amount claimed in the
statement shall be considered to be ordered to be paid
unless Defendant objects to the claimed amount by filing an
objection within 10 days of the filing of the statement. In
that event, the Court shall issue an order establishing the

E-FILED 2016 JUN 13 9:55 AM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

(6)

restitution amount, with or without a hearing as the Court


deems appropriate; and
the court costs of this action, including court-appointed
attorney fees. The Court has determined, by
information presented by the parties, that Defendant is able
to pay court-appointed attorney fees.

Defendant shall pay all financial obligations owed to the Clerk of


Court of this county or online at www.iowacourts.gov. All such
financial obligations shall be paid in full on or before the 30th day
following the filing of this Order. If the financial obligations are not
paid in full within 30 days of filing of this Order, it may be
considered a violation of this Order and the terms of Defendants
probation. In addition, pursuant to Iowa Code Section 602.8107, a
failure to pay in full within 30 days may result in this case being
assigned to the Centralized Collection Unit of the Iowa Department
of Revenue or its designee to collect the debts owed to the Clerk of
Court. In the event this matter is assigned for collection, additional
fees may be imposed pursuant to law;
b.

Defendant shall serve thirty (30) days in the county jail, with all of
this sentence suspended. Defendant shall be given credit for time
previously served.
In compliance with Iowa Code Section 356.7, Defendant
shall pay fees as later assessed for the room and board provided to
Defendant while in the custody of the Sheriff as a result of
Defendants criminal conviction in this matter. The actual amount
assessed will be as set forth in the Room & Board Reimbursement
Claim filed with the Clerk by the Sheriff. The amount assessed
shall have the force and effect of a judgment for purposes of
enforcement. Should Defendant dispute the amount assessed,
Defendant has the right to request a hearing on that issue;

c.

As a condition of a portion of Defendants sentence being


suspended, Defendant is placed on informal probation to the Sac
County Probation Office (the Probation Supervisor) for a period of
one (1) year from the date of filing of this Order. Defendants
probation shall be on such terms and conditions that the Probation
Supervisor deems appropriate. In addition to any terms the
Probation Supervisor imposes, the Court specifically imposes all of
the following terms of probation:
(1)

Defendant shall make in-person contact with the Probation


Supervisor within seven (7) days of the filing of this Order to

E-FILED 2016 JUN 13 9:55 AM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

sign up for probation and sign any probation supervision


agreement requested by the Probation Supervisor.
Telephone contact is not sufficient;

d.

(2)

Defendant shall obey all laws;

(3)

If Defendant becomes eligible for reinstatement of


Defendants drivers license during the term of probation,
Defendant shall take all steps necessary to obtain a valid
drivers license as soon as Defendant is eligible;

(4)

Defendant shall be employed full-time, attending school fulltime, or engaged in a full-time combination of employment
and school attendance during the period of probation;

(5)

Defendant is prohibited from consuming or possessing


alcohol or any illegal drug or any drug for which Defendant
does not have a valid prescription;

(6)

If Defendant has not already done so, Defendant shall


undergo a substance abuse evaluation and follow any
recommendations for treatment or counseling made as a
result of the evaluation, all at Defendant's own expense. If
Defendant has not already done so, in order to provide proof
that Defendant has undergone the required evaluation,
Defendant shall procure from the substance abuse evaluator
a letter or written report which shall be filed with the Clerk
of this Court no later than 21 days from the date this Order
is filed; and

(7)

Defendant shall comply with all terms of this Order,


including paying all financial obligations and completing all
required tasks in a timely manner; and

Pursuant to Iowa Code Section 901.5(10), the Iowa Department of


Transportation (the IDOT) shall revoke Defendants drivers
license or motor vehicle operating privilege for a period of one
hundred eighty (180) days, or shall delay the issuance of a drivers
license for one hundred eighty (180) days after Defendant is first
eligible if Defendant has not been issued a drivers license. If
Defendants operating privileges are suspended or revoked at the
time of entry of this Order, the one hundred eighty-day (180-day)
revocation period shall not begin until all other suspensions or
revocations have been terminated. The IDOT shall not issue a

E-FILED 2016 JUN 13 9:55 AM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

temporary restricted license to Defendant during the revocation


period without further order by this Court.
3.
The Court imposes this sentence because it provides for Defendants
rehabilitation and the protection of the community. The Court has considered the
sentencing recommendation of the parties.
4.
Defendant has a statutory right to appeal by filing written notice of appeal
with the Clerk of Court of this county within 30 days of the date of these proceedings.
If Defendant is unable to pay the costs of appeal, Defendant may apply to the Court for
appointment of counsel and the furnishing of a transcript of the evidence as provided in
Iowa Code Sections 814.9 and 814.11. Filing a notice of appeal within the time and in
the manner specified in Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.101 is jurisdictional and
failure to comply with these provisions shall preclude Defendants right of appeal.
5.
Appeal Bond is set in the amount of $2,500.00, cash or surety.
6.
Any cash bail posted by Defendant or on Defendants behalf by a third
party that has acknowledged or agreed that the money posted can be applied toward
Defendants financial obligations shall be applied toward Defendants financial
obligations. All cash bail remaining, if any, after payment of Defendants financial
obligations and all cash bail posted by a third party that has not acknowledged or
agreed that the money posted can be applied toward Defendants financial obligations
is hereby exonerated and shall be returned to the person posting the cash bail. All noncash bail bonds posted, if any, are hereby exonerated.
