CLIVE, Iowa (AP) — A Marine says she’s been given an apology but no explanation for an errant warrant that led to her arrest in a Des Moines suburb. Sgt. Kaylie Coats was arrested Dec. 7 while home on leave. The warrant alleged Coats hadn’t paid for a $45 cab ride in Clive in 2015. She told a judge the next day the allegation was wrong because she’d been stationed in California at the time. A few hours later the Clive police chief called Coats and apologized, explaining only that the warrant was issued in error.
