Green County
Felonies
● Donald Tiberius David Pitman, 21, Albany, was charged on Feb. 3 with five counts of felony bail jumping and on Feb. 11 with exposing a child to harmful descriptions, child sexual exploitation, possession of child pornography, additional counts of bail jumping and causing a child age 13-18 to view sexual activity, all felonies. Court records indicate Pitman violated his bond conditions in pending cases by accessing Facebook and using two smartphones containing sexually explicit photos of a teenage girl. On Jan. 30, a Green County detective got an anonymous tip via Crime Stoppers that Pitman was posting items for sale on Facebook Marketplace and had commented on a woman’s Facebook photo. The detective discovered Pitman had posted a 2005 Dodge Durango SUV and Alpine subwoofer speaker for sale. Posing as a potential buyer, the detective arranged to meet with Pitman in a parking lot in Albany. Pitman was then arrested and found in possession of two phones, at least one of which contained the same photos for which Pitman was already facing 26 felonies for possessing and sharing via Snapchat. He now has five open felony cases and is back in court May 12.
● Jennifer Marie Mills, 42, Beloit, pleaded no contest Feb. 4 to a felony fourth-offense charge of operating while intoxicated. A felony charge of operating with a prohibited blood-alcohol concentration and misdemeanor count of driving with a revoked license were dismissed. She was sentenced to three years on probation with a conditional nine months in jail, ordered to complete AODA treatment and assessed $3,289 in fines and fees. Her license is revoked three years. The case stems from a traffic stop July 7 on 10th Street near 1st Center Avenue in Brodhead. An officer stopped Mills after noticing she stopped at an intersection without a stop sign or stoplight. He reported that she smelled of alcohol, had three unopened Keystone Light beers and a quarter-bottle of vodka in the 2004 Chrysler and admitted to having three drinks prior to driving.
● Terri Ann Shultz, aka Terri Ann Abb and Terri Ann McClaren, 52, Necedah, was charged Feb. 6 with two Class G felony counts of theft in a business setting, two Class H felony counts of forgery and two Class I felony counts of modifying computer data to defraud. The criminal complaint indicates that between 2012 and 2018, Shultz took about $58,000 from her brother’s business in Brodhead while employed there as a bookkeeper. The business is not named in the complaint. She reportedly paid back about $17,000. When interviewed by police, she said the money was for gambling debts, carpal tunnel surgery and her drug addiction prior to 2015. She said she thought she had paid back all the money. When shown examples of fraudulent checks by police, she repeatedly said she did not remember creating them. She signed a $10,000 signature bond March 2 with conditions that she not possess financial instruments or documents except ones under her name.
● Randy William Seavert, 40, Albany, was charged Feb. 6 with one Class G felony count of intimidation of a victim by use or attempted use of force and misdemeanor counts of battery, disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property. Seavert is seeking to get the felony dismissed for lack of probable cause. The criminal complaint indicates police responded to Seavert’s home Feb. 4 in response to a 911 call about a domestic disturbance and found he was “highly intoxicated,” belligerent and threatening. One officer noted, “Randy’s tirade was largely unintelligible but was clearly loud and profane.” When Seavert was taken to Monroe Clinic to get medically cleared for jail, he reportedly yelled and swore in front of ER staff. He has signed a $2,000 signature bond with conditions including no drinking, bars or liquor stores.
● Timothy L. Pope, 39, Anna, Illinois, was charged Feb. 6 with four felony counts of misappropriating ID info to obtain money and misdemeanor counts of credit card theft and bail jumping. The criminal complaint alleges Pope took $4,000 in cash and made over $1,000 in unauthorized transactions at Monroe and Brodhead businesses from the bank account of a family member, a resident at Pleasant View Nursing Home. He has signed a $2,000 signature bond with a condition that he not possess financial instruments or cards except for ones issued in his name.
● Daniel G. Roth, 43, Brodhead, was charged Feb. 6 with a Class G felony count of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and a misdemeanor charge of resisting or obstructing an officer. The case is the result of a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources investigation. The criminal complaint indicates Roth registered deer harvests using gun tags for hunting. When he was 22, Roth was convicted in Dane County of felony second-degree recklessly endangering safety, which he described to police as stemming from a “road rage” incident. Court records show he pleaded no contest and was sentenced to probation with conditional jail time and 100 hours of community service for the conviction in 1999, but he told police he thought the case was ultimately dismissed as part of a deferred prosecution. Conditions of the $5,000 signature bond he signed March 2 include no possession of firearms or dangerous weapons.
● Shawn Michael Hopkins, 29, Brodhead, was charged Feb. 14 with four counts of felony bail jumping, stemming from an arrest the same day in Monroe. The criminal complaint indicates a bartender kicked Hopkins and another man out of her bar for fighting and when they continued fighting outside the bar, she called 911. Police located Hopkins elsewhere and found he had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.108%. Hopkins told the officer, “To be honest I had a few drinks, yes sir.” He was under bond conditions in a pending case that he not drink or be in a bar. He signed a $1,000 cash bond at his initial appearance Feb. 14 with the same conditions.
