Gage case child stealing charge may be dropped
Linn County Attorney Harold Denton plans to drop the Class C felony child stealing count against Roger Paul Bentley to avoid jeopardizing broader Johnson County prosecutions for first degree murder and kidnapping in the Jesseta Gage case. Bentley remains jailed on $3 million bail. James Bentley faces separate Linn and Benton county charges with a trial rescheduling linked to a videotaped interview.
