FELONIES
• Christopher Edward Leopold, 40, incarcerated in Monroe, pleaded guilty Monday, Oct. 22, to a felony charge of marijuana possession and no contest to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. He is sentenced to a total of 13 months in jail minus at least 70 days of sentence credit. He owes the court more than $600 in fees and restitution. Court records indicate he was arrested in May 2011 with O.5 grams of marijuana in a wooden dugout box in a vehicle in the 100 block of West 8th Street in Monroe. The disorderly conduct conviction stems from a dispute over shared electricity in a mobile home park in the 400 block of West 21st Street in August, when Leopold brandished a 65-pound compound bow at the landlord and threatened that he wasn't "afraid to use it and kill someone tonight."
• Theodore C. Bayrhoffer, Jr., 53, Brodhead, pleaded no contest Tuesday, Oct. 23, to his sixth offense of driving while intoxicated. He was sentenced to one year in jail and three years of probation. He is ordered to undergo an alcohol assessment and comply with treatment recommendations. He is subject to random alcohol tests. His driver's license is revoked three years, after which time he must have an ignition interlock device on his vehicle three more years. Court records indicate he was arrested in Monroe July 22, 2011, after officers saw him driving erratically on the north side of the city. An officer noted in his report that Bayrhoffer was staggering and had trouble keeping his balance. When asked to recite the alphabet, Bayrhoffer "mixed numerous letters up in the wrong order and never completed the alphabet." He had a reported blood-alcohol concentration of 0.27 percent.
