Daniel E. Owens

POLK COUNTY District Attorney Dan Steffen recommended last week that a 37-year-old rural Osceola man be put in prision for seven years, followed by 13 years of probation.

Daniel E. Owens pleaded no contest to the felonies of supplying methamphetamine to a minor and soliciting a child for prostitution. Owens is disabled and was in a wheelchair during his court appearance in Balsam Lake last Thursday.

The no contest plea by Owens was part of a plea deal he entered into in exchange for the state dropping four of the charges against him and not pursuing a possible seventh charge. Charges initially filed against Owens included child enticement prostitution, soliciting a child for prostitution, false imprisonment, child abuse intentionally cause harm, manufacture and deliver amphetamine, second-degree sexual assault of a child and manufacture and deliver THC.
