DARLINGTON — David Arnold Heisz, the Grant County man in prison for reckless endangerment, was sentenced this week in Lafayette County Circuit Court to 18 more months in prison for felony bail jumping.

Heisz, 60, Bagley, is currently serving three years in prison for recklessly endangering the safety of a Shullsburg woman he claimed stole money from him. The woman told the court he kidnapped her in his Cadillac on a night in March 2017, drove out to a rural road and punched her when she tried to escape the car. Seconds after she managed to escape and was running away, she heard a gunshot from Heisz’s firearm.

Jurors found him guilty in September on three counts of felony bail jumping, less than a year after another jury found him guilty in the reckless endangerment case. Heisz’s attorney has filed a motion of intent to take the reckless endangerment case to the Court of Appeals.

The more recent case, alleging felony bail jumping, stems from a September 2017 traffic stop on an interstate in Pennsylvania. Heisz was traveling alone in a California rental car and told police he was en route to Whitehaven, Pennsylvania.

A search of the car produced two grams of crystal methamphetamine, six doses of LSD, 10 grams of psilocybin (psychedelic) mushrooms and drug paraphernalia, according to court records.

Because possessing drugs violated his bond conditions back in Wisconsin, Heisz was charged as a result of the traffic stop with felony bail jumping in Lafayette County.

Thomas Vale, the Green County judge assigned to the case, sentenced Heisz on Dec. 19 to 18 months in prison and 18 months on extended supervision, all consecutive to his time in the reckless endangerment case.
