Blue Springs resident Priscilla Hertlzer is charged with forgery from July 25th.
Austen Tyler Bruckner of Trenton pleaded guilty to two counts of endangering the welfare of a child on January 25th. After sentencing was suspended, Bruckner was placed on two years supervised probation. He’s to donate $100 to the law enforcement restitution fund and pay the court costs.
Overland Park, Kansas resident Matthew Robert Holopirek pleaded guilty to an amended, driving while intoxicated count. Sentencing was suspended and he was placed on two years of supervised probation. He’s to serve five days of shock time at the Grundy County Jail with credit given for already serving three days.
Holopirek is to wear a SCRAM monitoring bracelet for 90 days. Money was taken from a posted cash bond to cover a $300 donation to the law enforcement restitution fund, $120 in a recoupment fee, and court costs with the balance of the bond to be refunded.
