Plea change hearings set for both suspects in Plymouth burglary scheme

PLYMOUTH — Plea change hearings are scheduled for a Mason City pair charged with scheming to burglarize a Plymouth home.

Authorities accused 43-year-old Nicole Cooper of committing felony conspiracy by meeting a victim at a bar on August 20th, and during that time, her friend 44-year-old Chad Wolfe, allegedly burglarized and committed theft at the residence, breaking in and stealing items valued at more than $1500. A search warrant was later executed in the 2300 block of 26th Southwest in Mason City where authorities also allegedly found methamphetamine.

Wolfe had pleaded not guilty to charges of third-degree burglary, second-degree theft, criminal mischief and possession of meth, while Cooper had been charged with conspiracy to commit a non-forcible felony and possession of marijuana.

Both had been scheduled to go on trial on October 22nd, but online court records show that plea change hearings have been set for both on October 23rd in Cerro Gordo County District Court.
