Two judges issued arrest warrants Thursday for a St. Joseph woman who failed to show up for hearings in two separate burglary cases.

Shannon Schremser faces felony second-degree burglary charges in two separate cases filed in February. As we reported earlier, police and prosecutors accuse Schremser and co-defendant Jeff Pendleton of breaking into a home in the 2300 block of Mansfield Road on February 7.

A court document asserts the pair took numerous items from the home including a 2000 Lexus parked outside. Police said they recovered the property and arrested the pair at their residence.

Just a day after posting bail in that case, Schremser was charged with burglary again. In that case, authorities said she was found in possession of financial documents belonging to a man’s deceased wife which were reported missing in a home burglary Feb. 17 at a home on S.E. Horn Road. (click here)

On Thursday morning, Schremser was due in court for a trial-setting before Judge Daniel Kellogg. When she didn’t appear, Judge Kellogg revoked her $1,000 cash bail, issued a warrant for her arrest and set a new bond at $50,000 cash or surety. Thursday afternoon, she was due in court for a preliminary hearing before Judge Keith Marquart. Judge Marquart revoked her $10,000 bond, which required a $1,000 cash deposit.

Last month, Marquart removed a requirement that Schremser wear a GPS location device when she posted bail. When she failed to appear Thursday, Marquart set bail at $100,000 cash, and added the GPS device back to the bond requirements.

Pendleton is scheduled for a preliminary hearing May 23 on charges stemming from that first burglary. He also faces charges of first-degree burglary, 2nd degree property damage and 1st degree trespass in Andrew County. Pendleton is scheduled to for a trial setting in Andrew county May 22.
