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.”

●  Genny Pellegrino, 36, Durand, Illinois, previously known as Genny Rodriguez, pleaded no contest Dec. 11 to three felony counts of theft, with 21 additional counts dismissed but “read in” as part of a plea deal. She was sentenced to four years on probation and ordered to pay the victim $4,281.56. She is allowed to transfer her probation to Illinois. Court records indicate Pellegrino was employed by Hometown Helpers, Inc. of Monroe as a home health care worker for an elderly rural Brodhead resident. From April to June 2018, Pellegrino used the resident’s credit card without consent to make thousands of dollars in purchases.

●  Thomas Jon Ott, 52, Monroe, had his probation revoked on convictions of felony bail jumping and misdemeanor convictions of disorderly conduct and theft and was sentenced Jan. 3 to nine months in jail. Court records indicate his violations of probation “began almost immediately,” and included the theft of 30 prescription pain pills, urine tests that tested positive for cocaine and opiates and, in October in Vernon County, an arrest for his fourth offense of operating while intoxicated.

●  Shelby James Riley Jr., 32, Monticello, pleaded no contest Jan. 4 to a Class H felony charge of false imprisonment and a misdemeanor charge of battery. Related charges including burglary were dismissed as part of a plea deal. He was sentenced to one year and nine months in jail and three years on probation. He is prohibited from contact with the victim. The case stems from a home invasion Aug. 14, 2017, at the rural Argyle property of a woman with whom he was court ordered to have no contact.  According to court records, he broke into her barn and hid there until she came in to do some work. He then emerged from the shadows wearing a ski mask and wielding baler twine made as if to strangle her. When she tried to flee and to reach for her phone to call for help, he pinned her to the ground. He later put the barrel of a gun in his mouth and threatened to kill himself if she called police. The incident left the woman fearful for her life and caused her both physical injuries and psychological trauma, according to Riley’s probation agent at the time.

●  Brenda Louise Steiner, 35, address unknown, pleaded no contest Jan. 10 to a misdemeanor charge of possessing an illegally obtained prescription. Related charges including felony bail jumping were dismissed as part of a plea deal. She was sentenced to one year on probation. She has $443 in court assessments. The case stems from a traffic stop March 13, 2018, at 10th Avenue and 5th Street in New Glarus. Police reported she had “pinpoint pupils,” indicating drug use. A search of the vehicle yielded straws for snorting crushed pills, a glass pipe for smoking crack cocaine and a syringe she said she had used to inject morphine into herself. She told police she usually doesn’t inject drugs but she had recently gotten out of jail and was so “dope sick” that she did.

She owes $747. She is eligible to have the convictions dismissed under a state law that grants leniency to young offenders.
