TIMES-REPUBLICAN
A local man was arrested earlier this week by Marshalltown police and taken to Marshall County Jail for sexual assault third degree. Shaddare Jammal Watkins, 25, allegedly participated in a sex act with the female victim earlier this month at a residence in the 400 block of Plaza Heights Road, according to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed in Marshall County District Court. At his initial appearance, Watkins was ordered to be held on $10,000 cash or surety bond and appointed a public defender by a magistrate. The court also issued a no contact order, meaning the defendant is not to have any contact with the victim. Sexual assault third degree is a Class C felony. Watkins’ preliminary hearing is Nov. 2.
