Felonies
● Amy M. Holst, 30, Monroe, pleaded no contest April 5 to a Class I felony charge of substantial battery and a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. She was sentenced to one year on probation for the misdemeanor conviction and entered a two-year deferred prosecution agreement on the felony charge, with conditions that she attend review hearings and continue counseling and any recommended mental health treatment. The felony will be fully dismissed if she complies with the agreement. The case stems from an incident Dec. 12 at her apartment on 4th Avenue. Police responded that morning to the Monroe Clinic ER for a report of an earlier assault at the apartment. The male victim went to the ER for treatment of facial injuries. He told police Holst pushed him up against a wall and “popped” him in the nose.
● Paige Alexandra Gilman, 24, Orangeville, pleaded no contest April 5 to a misdemeanor charge of possessing an illegally obtained prescription, downgraded from a felony charge of delivering narcotics, and was sentenced to two days in jail and fined. She owes $413 in court assessments. She is eligible to have the conviction expunged under a state law that grants leniency to young offenders. The case stems from a controlled purchase of $20 worth of Percocet pills in the 1000 block of 10th Avenue in Monroe on Sept. 6, 2017.
● Joseph L. Olson, 34, incarcerated, was sentenced April 10 to nine months in jail after having his probation revoked on misdemeanor convictions of theft of moveable property and credit card theft. He owes $916 in court assessments. The original convictions stem from the theft of two purses from the break room of Dollar General in Brodhead in 2017. His sentence runs concurrent to a five-year prison sentence out of Rock County for a similar revocation on convictions of burglary and misappropriating ID info to obtain money. According to the revocation order, Olson’s probation violations include missing court appearances, breaking into a laundromat and consuming alcohol and synthetic THC. His agent wrote, “Throughout his short time on supervision, Mr. Olson has been involved in countless acts of criminal behavior. He burglarized multiple places in the community with zero regard for the victims he created. ... Mr Olson has made it clear that he has no intention of taking the rules of supervision seriously nor taking advantage of the opportunities to address his treatment needs.”
● Joshua J. Mueller, 38, Monroe, pleaded no contest April 11 to a Class H felony charge of manufacture or delivery of THC as a second or subsequent offense. Felony charges of possessing cocaine and psilocin (psychedelic mushrooms) and maintaining a drug-trafficking place were dismissed as part of a plea agreement. He was sentenced to six months in jail and three years on probation. He is ordered to undergo an assessment for alcohol or other drug abuse and is eligible to serve his jail sentence with Huber work-release privileges. The case stems from a search warrant served Oct. 2 on Mueller’s home in the 600 block of 14th Avenue. Officers noted a “very strong odor of marijuana” in the house and seized two cannabis plants, grow lights, smoking paraphernalia, two straws with traces of cocaine on them and a bag of about a quarter-ounce of mushrooms.
● Andrew Scott Shearer, 37, Brodhead, pleaded no contest April 12 to a Class H felony charge of false imprisonment and two counts of misdemeanor bail jumping. He was sentenced to two years on probation for the misdemeanor convictions, with conditions that he complete anger management or domestic violence counseling and undergo treatment for alcohol or other drug abuse. He entered a two-year deferred prosecution agreement on the felony charge. He is eligible to have the felony fully dismissed if he complies with the agreement. The case stems from two domestic altercations, one at a Brodhead home Nov. 12 and the other in a Monroe parking lot Jan. 12. He reportedly ripped down a shoe organizer, yelled at a woman, called her names and tried to block her from leaving.
● Ronnie Prince Antron Kinzer, 27, Chicago, pleaded no contest April 15 to a misdemeanor charge of obtaining a prescription drug via fraud as a party to a crime and was sentenced to five days in jail. Related charges including a felony count of misappropriating ID info to obtain money were dismissed as part of a plea agreement. A police investigation found Kinzer fraudulently used the credentials and name of a doctor to obtain penicillin and promethazine with codeine syrup Sept. 21 at Pinnow Pharmacy in Brodhead. The incident was reported by a pharmacist, and the doctor told police the prescription was fraudulent. However, when police asked Kinzer about the cough syrup, he “laughed and said it was what Lil Wayne rapped about” and denied knowing the prescription was fraudulent. He told police his friend asked him to pick up the prescription and he “was just being a good friend.”
