The following report is compiled using a disposition report provided by Clinton County Municipal Court. The information includes the defendant’s name, age, residence if listed, charge(s) disposed, fine, court costs assessed, jail sentence and any special conditions. Municipal Judge Mike Daugherty oversees the court, which administers the law in criminal misdemeanor cases.
The following list includes those who pled guilty or were found guilty between May 10, 2021 and May 14, 2021:
• Jean Estrada, 33, of Wilmington, domestic violence, sentenced to 180 days in jail, fined $1,000, assessed $135 court costs. Estrada must have no contact with the victim.
The RM of LeRoy is receiving $272,525, which will be used to replace two large bridges with culverts on the LeRoy access road to Highway 6. “The bridges were in bad condition and [weight] restricted recently, so the funding will be well received,” said Wendy Gowda, the RM’s administrator. “There’s people that are pretty anxious that the road be put back to full weight, so they’ll be really happy to hear that there’s a plan.” As a result of the weight restriction, Gowda said even small agriculture loads have had to detour around the bridge. “We don’t have the agreements yet. We’re hoping the agreements will be in place and a design can be done, but realistically it could be a 2022 project by the time we get the paperwork and everything in order.”
