Felonies
• Scott Kevin Wright, 54, Monroe, was sentenced Aug. 18 to 120 days in jail for misdemeanor bail jumping and for revoking his 15-month deferred prosecution agreement on previous misdemeanor convictions of disorderly conduct, intimidation of a victim and bail jumping. Dismissed were felony charges of bail jumping and intimidation of a victim with threat of force. Court records indicate that on Aug. 31, 2014, a drunk and belligerent Wright got into an argument over money he had lost gambling and threatened to "take a baseball bat to all of you" and to kill a woman and her 2-year-old granddaughter. Police were again called to an altercation in the same home on April 29. This time, Wright reportedly threw the woman's prescription medicine in the toilet when she called police. Wright owes the court $1,029 in fines and fees.
• Austin Daniel Colliers, 18, Monroe, entered an 18-month deferred prosecution agreement Aug. 26 on a Class I felony conviction of marijuana possession with intent to deliver and misdemeanor convictions of possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

If he complies with the agreement, the entire case may be expunged from his record under a state law that grants leniency to young offenders.
