A Manning man has turned himself in at the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office after violating his pre-trial release conditions while awaiting his sentencing hearing for sexual abuse charges. According to Carroll County District Court Records, 38-year-old Michael William Alexander turned himself in on a warrant for violating his pre-trial release by leaving a program he was directed to attend, failing to keep scheduled appointments, and remaining in contact with PO officer. Alexander was initially charged with two counts of third-degree sexual abuse of a child, class C felonies, for sexually abusing a thirteen-year-old back in 2019. Due to the special sentencing of a minimum of 85 percent of a life sentence, Alexander entered a plea agreement for two counts of lascivious acts with a child, a class C felony. Alexander is currently being held at the Carroll County Jail on a $10,000 cash-only bond in the defendant’s name only while awaiting a hearing scheduled for Jan. 13, 2025.
