Green County Circuit Court
Felonies
● Tammy L. Klapper Kaderly, 47, Monroe, had her probation revoked on convictions from 2016 of fourth-offense and fifth-offense operating while intoxicated, with the fifth offense being a felony, and was sentenced Dec. 10 to two years in prison and one year on extended supervision. Court records indicate she violated her terms of probation by continuing to drink alcohol. At her sentencing, her husband testified that they had recently taken steps to maintain her sobriety and he also quit drinking “to help encourage Tammy, to be supportive of her, so she won’t have the temptation.” Assistant District Attorney Laura Kohl pointed to Klapper Kaderly’s extreme intoxication during both offenses. Klapper Kaderly had a blood-alcohol level of 0.399 percent in the fifth-offense OWI case, which is nearly four times the legal limit for driving in Wisconsin. “I think she has such a huge problem with alcohol that I’m concerned about public safety if she is not monitored while she’s out,” Kohl said. When given the opportunity to address the court, Klapper Kaderly said, “I’m sorry for the lives I could have destroyed by driving … I want to apologize to my family and my grandkids because I missed their birthdays and Christmases, and I have missed watching their games in sports, and I missed them growing up because they are so young. And I am really sorry to my husband that I’m putting him through this again. I am so ashamed and I am so sorry.”
