Misdemeanors

●  Roy Alan Van Brocklin, 43, Brodhead, entered a one-year deferred agreement June 3 on a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. The case will be fully dismissed if he complies with conditions of the agreement, including quarterly review hearings, a mental health assessment and any recommended counseling or treatment. The case stems from an incident Sept. 14 at Monroe Clinic. Court records indicate Van Brocklin approached his doctor at the end of an appointment and showed her a nude photo of himself on his cellphone, telling her this was his “last chance” to do so. She told him this was not OK and he had to leave. She then walked him out of the office and down the hallway, while he joked, “I guess I need a couple more appointments after all.” The doctor told police she felt “upset, angry and personally violated at this unwanted visual assault” and “immediately felt afraid and infuriated as well as sick to her stomach.”

●  Derek Etienne Gobeli, 32, Monroe, pleaded guilty June 5 to misdemeanor charges of obstructing an officer and second-offense operating while intoxicated with a passenger younger than 16. Related charges including driving with a revoked license were dismissed. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail and two years on probation, with conditions including an alcohol-abuse assessment, treatment and counseling. His driver’s license is revoked two years. He is required to have an ignition-interlock device installed in his vehicle for two years upon relicensure. He owes $2,313 in court assessments. The case stems from a traffic stop Dec. 10 in the 900 block of 12th Street in Monroe, in which Gobeli was the driver and two boys under the age of 10 were in the backseat. Court records indicate Gobeli got out of the vehicle and fled the scene on foot but stumbled and fell over a chainlink fence about a block away, where an officer was able to get hold of his arm as Gobeli was standing up. The officer reported that Gobeli was “very emotional,” crying and yelling, then apologized to police several times and asked the officer for a hug. Gobeli was taken to Monroe Clinic, where a test showed a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.206%, about two-and-a-half times the legal limit for driving.

●  Mariana Joy Skare, 20, Beaver Dam, pleaded no contest June 12 to a misdemeanor charge of possessing drug paraphernalia and entered a one-year deferred prosecution agreement with conditions including continued drug treatment through a hospital in Oconomowoc. The charge will be fully dismissed if she complies. The case stems from an investigation into an anonymous tip in January that “gram quantities of methamphetamine” were being kept at a home in the 1300 block of 2nd Street in New Glarus. A search warrant yielded about “150 used syringes located throughout the master bedroom,” among other items of drug paraphernalia. Skare and her co-defendant Michael John Boroczk Jr., 27, New Glarus, were arrested. Skare told police there was no meth left in the house because they had used it all. Boroczk is currently in the Dane County Drug Court Program.

●  Ricky Allen Erving Jr., 32, Freeport, pleaded guilty June 12 to an ordinance violation of disorderly conduct, downgraded from a misdemeanor, and was fined. He owes $456.50 in court assessments. A charge of misdemeanor bail jumping was dismissed. Court records indicate Erving was fired from SK Plastic Molding in Monroe on Oct. 17, 2017, after about a month of employment. He had been running his machine improperly, then swore at and ignored the supervisor while wearing headphones and singing. Police were called to the scene when Erving started wandering around the plant yelling at other employees to “get out while they still can.”

●  Joshua Ryan Tree, 26, Monroe, pleaded guilty June 13 to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and no contest to a misdemeanor charge of criminal damage to property. A misdemeanor theft charge was dismissed. He owes $879 to the court. Court records indicate Tree became upset during an argument over his drug use on June 21, 2017, at a residence in Monroe. During the argument, he punched an entertainment center, breaking the glass door and frame, then picked up the frame and hit it several more times. He also reportedly stole a television that was later recovered at a pawn shop in Madison. He owed $200 in restitution to the pawn shop.
