A Forest Lake, Minnesota, man facing a felony charge after a traffic stop on I-70 in Lafayette County on January 25 has a court proceeding scheduled.

A report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol says a trooper located a female’s wallet from Minnesota that had been reported stolen, as well as stolen license plates from the states of Illinois and Minnesota.

In addition, the trooper says he located another female’s information who resides in Pleasant Hill. Her vehicle was reported broken into, and her credit cards were stolen. She reported her cards were used at Walmart and Walgreen’s in Jackson County to purchase $700 gift cards. The trooper viewed surveillance video at each location to confirm the purchases.

Court documents say 59-year-old Aloysius Eric Schrom is charged with a felony for stealing of $750 or more and misdemeanors for stealing less than $150 and operating a vehicle on the highway without a valid license. Bond remains $50,000 cash only.

Schrom pleaded not guilty on January 26. His next hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, March 23, at Lafayette County circuit Court.
