Green County
Felonies
● Timothy Bryan Hoefer, 33, Freeport, pleaded no contest May 17 to two Class I felony counts of failure to pay child support, with five additional counts dismissed. He entered a three-year deferred prosecution agreement with conditions that he submit his federal income tax returns and pay $294.20 monthly to the Wisconsin Support Collections Trust Fund. Court records indicate he owed about $10,600 in child support arrearages as of October 2017.
● Jacob Allen Riley, 22, Argyle, pleaded no contest May 17 to a Class I felony charge of fleeing an officer. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and three years on probation and admitted to the Green County Drug Court Program. He is eligible to have the conviction expunged from his record. He also entered a three-year deferred prosecution agreement on a Class F felony charge of delivering cocaine. A felony bail jumping charge in a third case was dropped as part of a plea agreement. The conviction of fleeing an officer stems from an attempted traffic stop in Monroe on March 4, 2018. Riley fled from officers northbound out of the city, police reported. Within 40 minutes he crashed the vehicle in a ditch in the W8100 block of Apple Grove Road, Town of Adams, and hit a power pole and fence. He was injured in the crash and later arrested. The second case against Riley stems from two undercover drug transactions. Court records indicate he sold 3.5 grams of cocaine for $275 to a confidential source on Aug. 9 and 7 grams for $550 on Aug. 16. Riley and the confidential source arranged the transactions via Snapchat and met inside Walmart near the fishing gear section.
● Jon D. Boone, 45, Monticello, was charged May 21 with a Class H felony count of strangulation and suffocation and misdemeanor counts of battery, disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property. He signed a $3,000 signature bond with conditions including no drinking and no contact with the alleged victim or her home. The case stems from an incident May 19 at a residence in Monticello. Court records indicate Boone was drinking beer and arguing about money when he picked up and threw a bench in the living room and head-butted, choked and pushed a woman in front of children while calling her names.
● April Paula Dicks, 37, Gratiot, pleaded no contest May 31 to a Class H felony charge of attempted battery on a law enforcement officer and a second-offense charge of operating while intoxicated. Other charges including felony possession of marijuana were dismissed. She was sentenced to 75 days in jail and 30 months on probation. Her driver’s license is revoked 18 months. She owes $2,212 in court assessments. The case stems from an accident shortly before midnight April 5, when deputies responded to a 911 call about a vehicle in the ditch at Franklin Road and Allen Road, Town of Cadiz. Dicks, the driver, was uninjured in the crash and had gone to a nearby residence for help. Deputies reported that she failed field sobriety tests, admitted to drinking, had slurred speech and was resistive with police and kicked an officer while in custody.
Misdemeanors
● Graham Goeffrey Watson, 20, Brodhead, pleaded no contest March 20 to a misdemeanor charge of possessing THC as a party to a crime. He was sentenced to one year on probation with conditions that he maintain absolute sobriety and undergo treatment and counseling for alcohol or other drug abuse. He owes $493 in court assessments. He is eligible to have the conviction expunged. Court records indicate that on June 30, 2018, a deputy on patrol observed a red Pontiac parked at 2:05 a.m. in the W700 block of Wedgewood Court, Town of Decatur, and found Watson and a female driver lying down in their seats. Watson said they had recently “smoked a bowl,” and the deputy located a pipe in the glove box.
● Matthew Melvin Boley, 42, Belleville, pleaded no contest March 26 to a misdemeanor charge of trespassing. He entered a one-year deferred prosecution agreement with conditions including alcohol-abuse treatment. The charge will be fully dismissed if he complies with the agreement. Court records indicate that on Dec. 7, Boley entered the enclosed porch of a residence on East Coates Avenue in Monticello, sat in a rocking chair and fell asleep. He also tried to get into the house. The resident called police because she did not know him. When awakened, Boley became “boisterous” and said he thought he was in Belleville, police reported. The officer noted Boley was confused, his eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred.
● Jeffrey T. Harrison, 40, Monroe, pleaded no contest April 3 to a domestic abuse-related misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. He entered a one-year deferred prosecution agreement with conditions including alcohol-abuse treatment and anger management counseling. The charge will be fully dismissed if he complies with the agreement. The case stems from an incident Dec. 5 at his home on 12th Street. According to police reports, Harrison was upset and depressed about family problems and drank 12 beers and was chugging tequila out of a one-liter bottle. He threatened his girlfriend and swung a beer bottle at her, then left in his truck. He later went to the Monroe Police Department on his own accord because he heard police were looking for him. He was “very cooperative” with the investigation, police reported. An officer noted that the woman was upset with police and said she never wanted Harrison charged.
● Travis John Runke, 47, Monroe, pleaded no contest April 3 to a misdemeanor charge of contact after a domestic abuse arrest, with two related counts of bail jumping dismissed. He was sentenced to 21 days in jail. The case stems from alcohol-fueled abuse between Runke and his mother at a home on West 21st Street. Court records indicate on Dec. 24 Runke slapped her and left her with bruises, scratches and cuts, and on Dec. 26, after his release from jail, he went back to the residence in violation of a court order.
