The specifics of these charges, as publicized by Folsom Police on their official social media, earmarked his court appearance for 2 P.M. today, though at this juncture, the charges remain allegations, and Taras retains the presumption of innocence.
The earlier incident that led to Taras's initial apprehension took place on September 24.
