The victim told police that he did not know the defendant and had lost his wallet in the 700 block of North Washington.

Arispe was charged with ongoing criminal conduct, a Class B felony, as well as forgery, a Class D felony. He’s being held in the Cerro Gordo County Jail on a total of $30,000 bond.

Arispe is due in court for his preliminary hearing on Friday.
