A man and woman charged with knowingly concealing stolen property face a July court appearance after being arraigned Tuesday afternoon.
Dustin Hicks, 43, and Sandra Colleen Ketcher, 59, are charged with concealing several coins and a lug wrench on May 14. The coins and wrench were stolen the same day from Bryce Felts.
Hicks, who has a Wagoner address, and Ketcher, of Welling, are not charged with the theft of the property.
The case was investigated by Tahlequah police. Hicks’ bond was set at $10,000 and Ketcher’s is set at $3,000.
Both pleaded not guilty to the charges at an arraignment before Associate District Judge Mark Dobbins, who ordered them to reappear July 6 at 9 a.m. for his felony sounding docket. A preliminary hearing may be set at that time unless Hicks and Ketcher change their pleas.
Knowingly concealing stolen property is punishable by imprisonment for up to five years or a year in the county jail and/or a fine of up to $500.
Assistant District Attorney Yvette Duvall is prosecuting the cases.
