Misdemeanors
• Chad Edward Pehl, 44, Davis, Illinois, was sentenced to 60 days in jail and two years on probation Oct. 19 for misdemeanor convictions of disorderly conduct and two counts each of bail jumping and criminal trespass to a dwelling. He's subsequently been charged with a Class H felony count of failure to report to jail for not showing up for his sentence as promised on Oct. 24. The convictions stem from a series of incidents over the past year and a half: on June 26, 2016, Pehl was found drinking alcohol, in violation of a court order that he not drink; on Jan. 22, police found Pehl staggering southbound on Wisconsin 69 in Monroe with a bottle of vodka in his backpack after his girlfriend kicked him out for throwing flowers at her and slapping her; on April 21, he was arrested for violating a court order by being at her home; on July 23 and again on July 24, he was found again in the home, drunk and hiding in a closet.
• Jesse Arnold Elver, 34, Monroe, pleaded no contest Oct. 20 to a Class B misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and was ordered to pay a fine. He owes the court $679. A Class A misdemeanor charge of battery was dismissed. The case stems from a dispute March 3 at his former home with a woman on Dohm Drive, Town of Exeter. Their relationship ended a week earlier and he had come back to move his things out. Court records indicate he was intoxicated and cornered the woman in the bathroom, twisted her arm and pinned her down. In a victim-impact statement submitted to the court earlier this year, the woman wrote, "I believe the arrest and court appearances was/will be enough. The embarrassment was/is enough to open his eyes. That event was troubling for both of us. I never wanted him arrested, just wanted him to leave. ... This offense has brought to light that the defendant and I were/are not good together, which we both now know and have accepted. We have since become friends and nothing more has happened. We have both learned from this."
• Benjamin Eric Tackett, 29, Monroe, pleaded no contest Oct. 20 to misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and resisting or obstructing an officer and was sentenced to 60 days in jail with Huber work-release privileges. He also entered an 18-month deferred prosecution agreement with the conditions that he maintain full-time employment, drink no alcohol, undergo counseling for alcohol and drug abuse, complete a mental health assessment and submit proof from a doctor that he is maintaining his injections of Vivitrol, a medication used to treat opioid and alcohol dependence. The case stems from an incident July 27, 2015 at the Monroe Clinic intensive care unit, where Tackett had been admitted following an overdose. Court records indicate he swung his arms violently, hitting a Monroe police officer on the right cheek, causing swelling and bruising.
• Jason Daniel Robinson, 26, Winslow, Illinois, pleaded guilty Nov. 6 to a Class A misdemeanor charge of criminal damage to property and entered an 18-month deferred prosecution agreement, with conditions that he attend quarterly monitoring conferences and complete domestic violence or anger management counseling. The charge will be dismissed if he successfully completes his deferred prosecution. The case stems from a May 9 domestic dispute with a woman at Robinson's former home in Browntown, when he used an exhaust pipe to scratch the hood, grill and driver's side mirror on a vehicle they owned jointly.
• Duane A. Zoller, 49, Monticello, revoked his deferred prosecution agreement and was sentenced Nov. 8 to one year on probation for a Class B misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct, stemming from a family argument June 18, 2016 at a home in Monticello. Court records indicate Zoller threatened a woman and hit her in the face. Conditions of his probation include treatment and counseling for alcohol and drug abuse.
• John M. Reine, 62, Monroe, pleaded no contest Nov. 10 to a misdemeanor charge of possessing an illegally obtained prescription and was ordered to pay a fine. He owes the court $579.
