Judge sets $5,000 bond for Leonard Adelberg and bars him from driving after Alzheimer's diagnosis

The court set bond at $5,000 for Leonard Dale Adelberg and ordered as a condition of bond that he not drive under any circumstances; the judge accepted assurances from the defendant’s wife that she would remove and secure vehicle keys.

Adelberg faces a motion to revoke probation alleging a new driving‑while‑intoxicated offense and other violations. Defense counsel and the defendant’s wife provided testimony and medical documentation indicating Adelberg had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in March and that his cognition has deteriorated. The wife testified she would take his keys and manage his mobility; she told the court, "He will not drive anymore. ... I don't mean to walk. You're not driving anymore. That's the call." The judge said he needed more than a casual assurance and asked for secure arrangements; based on the wife's representations and that Adelberg’s personal vehicle was no longer available, the judge set bond at $5,000 and ordered no driving as a bond condition.

The judge said an interlock device requirement was unnecessary if the vehicle was gone. The court scheduled a follow-up announcement to confirm conditions and to receive any witnesses the state intends to present at a probable‑cause/proof hearing. The judge emphasized that any breach of the no‑drive condition would affect the court’s decision on a final revocation.

Clerk and probation were directed to record the bond conditions and to notify involved agencies as required.
