IA-Inmate Conspires to Murder Bondsman

According to several press reports, the Wapello Sheriff’s Department in Ottumwa, IA arrested Marcelino Madueno-Moreno in the solicitation to have his bondsman, a girl-friend, and a corrections officer murdered. Madueno-Moreno posted bond on a gun charge, but later the bonding company revoked his bond and returned him to the Wapello County Jail. Allegedly, he then conspired to have his bondsman and girl-friend murdered. Madueno-Moreno also plotted to have a jail guard murdered in an attempt to escape when he was to be escorted to court. He is currently being held for probation violation, possession of a firearm by a felon, and solicitation to commit murder. His bond is set at $16,000.
