Two women charged with receiving stolen property after a Dec. 3 traffic stop uncovered $3,195 in stolen jewelry and other property pleaded not guilty in Mower County District Court Tuesday.

Shain Doreen Lane, 47, of Austin pleaded not guilty to gross misdemeanor DWI, a gross misdemeanor for receiving stolen property and a misdemeanor for driving with a revoked license after she was stopped for erratic driving.

She led police to Angelina Marie Barnes, 44, who pleaded not guilty to felony charges for receiving stolen property and fifth-degree drug possession.

According to a court complaint, at about 8 p.m. on Dec. 3, an officer observed Lane driving a 2008 Ford Crown Victoria when she failed to stop at the intersection of Seventh Avenue and 218 South near the Rodeway Inn and then failed to signal when changing lanes later on Fourth Avenue Southeast.

The officer stopped the car, saw signs that Lane had used drugs and asked her to leave the car, but she held her purse telling police they couldn’t search it without permission.

She told police she’d come from “Angel’s” room at the Rodeway Inn, a room police suspected of drug activity. She then failed multiple field sobriety tests, and police learned her license was revoked in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

In the car’s passenger seat, police found two bags containing jewelry that appeared to be dumped from a jewelry box, and they found a baby bracelet with a different name on it.

Lane told police the bags belonged to Angel.

Officers found two Kay Jewelers repair slips with the name of a LeRoy resident on them. Police also found: a Barnes and Noble Nook logged into another individual’s Facebook, two 9 mm bullets in one bag, two methamphetamine pipes in the purse.

Lane was arrested and transported to the Mower County Jail, where she consented to a drug urine test but told police she would test positive for methamphetamine and cocaine, which she claimed had been prescribed to her by her doctor, though she didn’t have the prescription with her.

Officers contacted the LeRoy family listed on the receipts and bracelet and learned their storage unit in LeRoy had been broken into sometime before Nov. 29, but they hadn’t reported it and had resecured the unit.

The residents identified the jewelry as their property. They inspected the storage unit with officers and found a file cabinet containing financial documents and jewelry missing.

Officers obtained a search warrant for Barnes’ room at the Rodeway Inn and executed it at about 12:30 a.m. on Dec. 4. They found several pieces of jewelry, other stolen property, 0.15 grams of methamphetamine, a Clonazepam pill, two marijuana pipes and three methamphetamine pipes.

Barnes eventually admitted knowing the items were stolen; however, she said they were brought to her apartment by Bryan Douglas Battin, 50. She said he had been stealing “quite a bit” from storage units and bringing items to her apartment. She pointed police to a grandfather clock, two totes containing homemade and collector stuffed bears and more, a stereo, jewelry and a coffee pot.

The owners estimated the value of the stolen property at $3,195.

Barnes admitted selling two bags of jewelry to Lane for $50 the night she was arrested, saying she needed the money for food and gas.

Barnes is scheduled for March 3, 2017, pretrial and March 13, 2017, trial, while Lane is scheduled for a March 10, 2017, pretrial and March 20, 2017, trial.
