DARLINGTON - A Shullsburg man was sentenced Monday to one year in jail after his probation on a 2016 case involving meth paraphernalia and marijuana was revoked.
Kristopher A. Leitzinger, 19, was sentenced in December 2016 to two years on probation after he pleaded guilty to a Class I felony charge of possessing 200 grams or less of marijuana and a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.
As part of a plea deal, a Class H felony charge of possessing paraphernalia to manufacture, compound, convert, produce or store methamphetamine was dismissed.
The original charges stem from an incident in April 2015, when Leitzinger was 17. According to the criminal complaint, he told another student he had a gun before going into Shullsburg High School. He was subsequently arrested for disorderly conduct, and police had consent to search his room where they found three plastic straws containing residue of methamphetamine, four plastic baggies containing marijuana residue and four plastic baggies containing a total of 16.1 grams of marijuana.
Court documents indicate that Leitzinger first broke the conditions of his probation on June 6, 2017, by selling a third of a gram of methamphetamine to a confidential police informant on Wells Street in Darlington.
On Dec. 5, Leitzinger further broke the conditions of his probation by possessing drugs and drug paraphernalia when he was pulled over on West Platteville Avenue in Belmont for failing to stop at a stop sign.
A search of the vehicle turned up a wooden box containing marijuana and a metal smoking device, a glass smoking device, a plastic baggie containing marijuana and half a pill of Xanax, a rubber bong, a blue silicone container with a green leafy substance, a tin containing marijuana residue, a safe containing a receipt book with drug sales, a black BB handgun, a safe containing one small baggie of a green leafy substance and five checkbooks belonging to Leitzinger, according to police reports.
Leitzinger has two open cases related to these incidents. He is also currently on two years of probation for convictions of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia possession in Grant County.
According to a report from his probation agent, Leitzinger started in an alcohol or drug treatment program with Lafayette County Human Services but didn't finish his course of treatment and "continues to make poor decisions when it comes to the law."
The agent recommended jail for Leitzinger because a confined setting is more likely to ensure Leitzinger's attendance at drug treatment.
