Charge school board president with theft

Ogden Community School Board President and Boone County Supervisor Chet Hollingshead, 25, was arrested and charged with third degree theft, an aggravated misdemeanor, for allegedly stealing a neon sign from a bar in Dayton Saturday, Aug. 31. The sign taken from Iron Saddle Saloon at 39 S Main Street in Dayton, is valued at more than $500.

Hollingshead was released after a hearing in Webster County and was ordered to have no contact with the bar. A preliminary hearing date is set for Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 3:30 p.m.

Ogden School Superintendent Brad Jermeland declined to comment.

Hollingshead told The Reporter last Thursday, that under advisement from his lawyer, he would not comment at this time.

Prior to the incident, Hollingshead had notified the school administration of his decision to not seek re-election to the school board.
