Green County
Felonies
• Faustino L. Moralez-Leon, 35, Monroe, was sentenced Nov. 21 to nine months in jail and seven years of probation for two felony convictions of delivering cocaine in December 2011 in Monroe. Two similar counts were dismissed, as was a misdemeanor charge of possessing drug paraphernalia. Court records indicate he sold cocaine to an undercover source with the State Line Area Narcotics Team. Conditions of his probation include getting his GED, undergoing an alcohol- and drug-abuse assessment, following through with all treatment recommendations and not drinking.
• Luke I. Davis, 32, jailed in Rock County, was sentenced to seven years in prison and four years of extended supervision, minus 411 days of sentence credit, for revoking his probation on a Class C felony conviction of burglary. His original offense stems from a burglary of a rural Juda residence in November 2000. Court records indicate he stole more than $26,000 in belongings, including a computer system, stereo, VCRs and jewelry, which he then sold for cash and Ecstasy pills. He violated his probation on that offense by smoking crack and breaking into a Rockford bar with the intent of stealing money out of the video poker machines, according to his probation agent. The agent wrote that Davis "was given the privilege of community supervision, despite the seriousness of his offenses, and committed yet another burglary." Several letters of support for Davis were filed in the court record. The letters, including one from his daughter's grandmother, praised him as a hard worker and a good father to his three children.
• Andy John Markham, 37, Juda, pleaded no contest and was granted a 30-month deferred prosecution Nov. 11 on a Class H felony charge of taking and driving a vehicle without consent and a 30-month probation on misdemeanor charges of bail jumping, disorderly conduct and taking and driving a vehicle and then abandoning it. He's ordered to undergo mental health and substance abuse counseling, get his high school equivalency diploma and attend quarterly monitoring conferences. Charges of theft, obstructing an officer, burglary and disorderly conduct were dismissed but "read in" to his sentence. The charges stem from several weeks this summer of bizarre, possibly drug-induced behavior, including two car thefts and an apparently random break-in to a residential garage in Brodhead, where officers reported finding Markham in a stolen dress, with plastic garbage bags tied around his knees, and talking incoherently about "bombs hidden all over." Court records suggest he was high on crystal meth.
• Alex Charles Tyson, 18, Evansville, was pleaded no contest Nov. 12 to a Class I felony charge of marijuana possession and a misdemeanor charge of possessing drug paraphernalia. He was granted an 18-month deferred prosecution on the felony and a one-year probation on the misdemeanor, with the conditions that he get his high school diploma and undergo alcohol/drug counseling. He is eligible to have the misdemeanor dismissed under a state law that grants leniency to some youthful offenders. Court records indicate he was found with about 33 grams of marijuana during a traffic stop July 22 in Albany.
• Dennis Charles Anderson, 29, Beloit, pleaded no contest Nov. 21 to a Class I felony charge of marijuana possession and a misdemeanor charge of possessing drug paraphernalia and was granted a one-year deferred prosecution on the felony and fined $379 for the misdemeanor. Court records indicate he was found with 7.2 grams of marijuana and a black pot pipe on Aug. 3 on a sandbar in the Sugar River. He is ordered to undergo an alcohol- and drug-abuse assessment and attend quarterly monitoring conferences.
• Derek J. Myhand, 30, Monticello, was fined $263.50 Nov. 26 for a conviction of theft downgraded from a felony to an ordinance violation. Court records indicate he misused money he received in the summer 2012 for a roofing project contracted through his business DTK Builders, LLC, by keeping about $4,700 out of a customer's $8,700 bill "for purposes other than the roofing project."
• Kurt Douglas Duerst, 51, jailed in Monroe, was sentenced Nov. 18 to two years of probation and six months in jail for convictions of felony second-degree recklessly endangering safety, resisting an officer, criminal damage to property and misdemeanor bail jumping. He is ordered to undergo counseling, take psychotropic meds as prescribed, pay more than $2,000 in restitution and not drink. The charges stem from a series of incidents in the New Glarus area this summer. Court records indicate Duerst rammed his brother's skid-loader, held police in a standoff and yelled and cursed at his mother and tore apart her basement while drunk on homemade wine.
• Samantha E. Murray, 33, Brodhead, was charged Nov. 25 with a Class I felony charge of possessing methamphetamine during a traffic stop July 18 near her home. She has a pre-trial conference Jan. 7.

Three similar charges were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

• Emily A. Skattum, 30, Monroe, pleaded no contest Nov. 11 to a misdemeanor charge of cocaine possession and was granted an 18-month deferred prosecution with the conditions that she continue drug counseling, pay the court $243 and attend quarterly monitoring conferences. Dismissed as part of her plea agreement were charges of misdemeanor bail jumping and possessing a controlled substance (Clonazepam pills) and drug paraphernalia (a metal spoon with char marks). The charges stem from a traffic stop June 11 on Wis. 11 west of the West 6th Avenue exit ramp. Court records indicate Skattum was a self-admitted heroin addict and stopped for erratic driving. An officer at the scene noted Skattum had sores on her hands and face, fresh blood on her wrists and bloodshot eyes. She failed sobriety testing.
