NORTHWOOD — A Garner man accused of multiple charges in Worth County has been arrested.

Schuver was arrested in Cerro Gordo County on Wednesday and was transported to the Worth County Jail. He’s been charged with second-degree theft, first-degree criminal mischief, second-degree criminal mischief and two counts of operating a vehicle without the owner’s consent.
His preliminary hearing is scheduled for next Friday.
