EAU CLAIRE â One of two teens accused of taking $12,000 worth of hemp during a burglary at an Eau Claire business will spend one year in jail.
An accomplice told police the teens planned to sell the hemp to âstupid peopleâ who would not know the difference between hemp and marijuana.
Damon W. Triebold, 19, of Amery, was sentenced recently in Eau Claire County Court to a felony count of burglary and an unrelated felony count of taking or driving a vehicle without consent.
Felony counts of theft and bail jumping were dismissed but considered by Judge Emily Long at sentencing.
Long placed Triebold on five years of probation and fined him $1,631. He must also pay $12,592 in restitution. As conditions of probation, Triebold cannot have contact with his co-defendant or Evolutions Hemp.
The incident occurred two years ago, police said.
Roger A. Minck, 55, 2604 Seymour Road, was charged Wednesday in Eau Claire County Court with felony counts of hiding a corpse, narcotics delivery, burglary and maintaining a drug trafficking place.
A warrant was issued for Minckâs arrest.
According to the criminal complaint:
On Nov. 6, 2018, the Buffalo County Sheriffâs office received a report of a missing person in the town of Gilmanton.
The 53-year-old man had not shown up to work and his location was unknown.
The man had been missing for a day. Several attempts to locate him by family members and the Sheriffâs Office were unsuccessful.
Robert E. Schuster, 55, was slated to enter a plea earlier this month in Clark County Court.
However, Clark County District Attorney Melissa Inlow filed a motion last week to dismiss the case. Inlow said Wednesday that Schuster has died, ending the matter. Court records show Inlow was incarcerated in Dodge Correctional Institution.
In the Clark County case, he was charged in March 2019, after being accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl during a camping trip.Â
In May, Schuster was sentenced in Eau Claire County Court to 15 years in prison for sexually assaulting a boy when he was four years old, at a town of Wilson residence. Schuster, who lived in Stanley at the time of the incident, pleaded no contest in October 2019 to first-degree sexual assault of a child.
The âgirlâ was actually an undercover police officer, authorities say.
William M. Lewis, 27, was sentenced recently in Eau Claire County Court to a felony count of child enticement.
Felony counts of using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime and attempted second-degree sexual assault of a child under age 16, and a misdemeanor count of bail jumping were dismissed but considered by Judge Sarah Harless at sentencing.
Harless ordered Lewis to spend seven years on extended supervision following his release from prison. Lewis was also fined $518.
As conditions of supervision, Lewis cannot have unapproved contact with children.
Lewis must also register as a sex offender and undergo sex offender treatment and any other recommended programming or treatment.
