Court accepts several plea agreements, schedules sentencing or pre-sentencing workups
Summary
At the July 21 docket the court accepted multiple guilty pleas and either deferred sentencing, ordered pre-sentence reports, or set sentencing/reset dates in several cases.
A Jefferson County judge took or accepted guilty pleas in multiple matters on July 21, 2025, and ordered corresponding pre-sentence reports, deferred adjudicated probations, or sentencing dockets depending on the agreements reached between defense and the state.
The activity matters because the courthouse disposition schedule changed for several defendants: some received deferred adjudication and probation; others had pleas accepted with sentencing reset pending pre-sentence investigations.
Notable on-the-record plea actions and case-management orders included: • Kennedy Webb pleaded guilty to a state-jail felony (false alarm/report to emergency services, cause 25VCCR0258) under a two-year deferred adjudication agreement with a $500 fine and a no-contact condition with named persons; court waived a pre-sentence report and deferred adjudication was ordered. • Mark Hebert entered a guilty plea to a third-degree felony driving-while-intoxicated (third or more) and the court reset the case for a pre-sentence report and later sentencing; the plea agreement contemplated a five-year probated sentence, a $1,000 fine and other conditions to be determined at sentencing. • Alexis Bourgeois Cooper pleaded guilty to a state-jail felony theft charge and the court reset the matter for sentencing and ordered a probation pre-sentence report to give the judge more information before sentencing. • Crystal Bogan pleaded guilty to state-jail felony theft and the judge accepted the plea but reset for a pre-sentence report and future sentencing; the plea agreement referenced a four-year deferred adjudication and a $1,000 fine. • Erica Messina pleaded guilty to evading arrest or detention with a vehicle; the court accepted the plea and ordered a pre-sentence report before sentencing.
For cases where the judge waived pre-sentence reports and followed plea terms, the court explained the rights being waived (including appellate rights) and warned noncitizen defendants of immigration consequences where required by law. In other matters the court specifically instructed defendants to stop by probation departments to start pre-sentence investigations.
