Felonies

• Trenity Jerry Wright, 27, Monroe, pleaded no contest Dec. 5 to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and resisting or obstructing an officer and was sentenced to two years on probation. He also entered a two-year deferred prosecution agreement on a Class H felony charge of false imprisonment. If he successfully complies with the conditions of the agreement, including absolute sobriety and continued addiction treatment, he is eligible to have the felony fully dismissed from his record. A Class F felony charge of first-degree recklessly endangering safety was dismissed. The charges stem from an incident Aug. 29 at Wright's residence in the 1700 block of 17th Street. Court records indicate he held a knife to a woman's throat during an argument over Suboxone, a prescription medication used to provide relief from opioid withdrawal and cravings. He had "ingested an unknown quantity of prescribed medications," chugged half of a liter of vodka and claimed he was "high on crack," according to police reports.

• Brian Harold Olson, 34, Verona, pleaded no contest Dec. 6 to a Class H felony charge of operating with a prohibited blood-alcohol concentration, fourth offense, and was sentenced to nine months in jail, with Huber work-release eligibility, and three years on probation. His driver's license is revoked three years, to be followed by three years with a mandatory ignition-interlock device on his vehicle. A fourth-offense felony charge of operating while intoxicated was dismissed as part of a plea deal. Court records indicate police stopped Olson for driving the wrong way on a downtown Monroe street at 6:16 p.m. March 12, 2016, and detected a "moderate odor of intoxicants" on him. Olson told police he started drinking at 2 p.m. that afternoon during a St. Patrick's Day pub crawl and "had a green beer every hour."

• Peter Victor Cramer, 31, Orfordville, pleaded no contest Dec. 6 to a Class I felony charge of possessing marijuana with intent to deliver and misdemeanor charges of battery, possessing a controlled substance and resisting or obstructing an officer. He was sentenced to two years on probation. The charges stem from two incidents in Monroe, according to court records. On April 8, Cramer approached a group of teens playing basketball in Twining Park and asked to play. They agreed. He turned aggressive, shouting "LeBron Cramer!" after he made a basket, then started arguing about game rules and punched a 15-year-old boy in the face. The punch knocked a lens out of the boy's glasses and left him with a swollen eye and bottom lip. In a victim-impact statement to the court, the boy's mother wrote, "This has been very hard emotionally for our family. We do not feel safe to do the basic things such as going to the park or for a walk." When police arrived on scene, they located drugs and drug paraphernalia in Cramer's backpack. On Aug. 24, police tried to stop Cramer in the 1100 block of 15th Avenue for an ATV violation, and he took off running.

• Anthony J. Lewis, 32, Monticello, pleaded no contest Dec. 6 to misdemeanor charges of bail jumping and resisting or obstructing an officer and was sentenced to two years on probation. He also entered a two-year deferred prosecution agreement on a misdemeanor charge of battery. A Class G felony charge of intimidating a victim with use of force was dismissed. The charges stem from two incidents, according to court records. On June 17 at his home in Monticello, Lewis struck a woman in the face and shoved her to the ground during a dispute over child custody. He also knocked her phone from her hands as she tried to call 911 and chased her while she was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher. When police arrived, Lewis resisted being handcuffed, causing injury to an officer's shoulder. On Oct. 29, the same woman reported Lewis drunkenly sent her a text message "that had nothing to do with their children," in violation of a court order. In a victim-impact statement, she wrote the anxiety she suffered as a result of Lewis' actions was affecting her family and job: "We cannot go out freely and not be afraid of seeing him."

• Kristina R. Johnson, 25, Belleville, pleaded no contest Dec. 8 to two Class B misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and was sentenced to one year on probation, with the condition that she undergo any recommended treatment or counseling. She is eligible to have the convictions expunged from her record under a state law that grants leniency to young offenders. A Class G felony charge of intimidation of a victim with use of force was dismissed. Police responded to Johnson's home on County CC in the Town of Exeter on May 9 for a report that she was "high on crack and was trying to take the baby out of the house." An investigation revealed Johnson had returned home from a rehab facility and she and the baby's father were arguing over money.



Misdemeanors

• Kyrene Robyn Trevino, 32, Monroe, pleaded no contest Nov. 27 to two misdemeanor counts of possessing drug paraphernalia. She was sentenced to two years on probation and entered in Green County's intensive drug court program. Misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and bail jumping were dismissed. Her convictions stem from two incidents in Monroe. On Feb. 6, she was found with a used hypodermic needle at a residence on County P. She told the arresting deputy she had a serious drug addiction problem and hoped to get into a treatment program. On May 21, Trevino was arrested in the 2300 block of 16th Avenue after police responded to a report of a "half-clothed female banging on someone's backdoor." Trevino was found at the scene, intoxicated and confused. She thought she was at her mother's house but was at a stranger's house. She admitted to smoking meth earlier in the day. Officers found paraphernalia for smoking meth in her purse. She told police she was homeless and had been bouncing from "meth house to meth house," staying awake for up to six days at a time, and had lost 35 pounds. She said she stole $700 from her mother "around Mother's Day and since then has not been able to face her mother or her children," according to an arresting officer's report. She said the meth labs in the area "need to get busted because meth is the worst thing she's ever done."
