Man pleads guilty to criminal mischief; court orders 199 days in county jail
Summary
Charles Loring Wanless pleaded guilty to criminal mischief (lesser included offense) and the court accepted a plea, sentenced him to 199 days in the Bexar County Jail and dismissed higher felony enhancement.
Charles Loring Wanless appeared before Judge Stephanie Boyd and pleaded guilty to a lesser-included offense of criminal mischief (class A misdemeanor). The court accepted the plea and sentenced Wanless to 199 days in the Bexar County Jail, with credit for time served; the parties stipulated to written statements and police reports rather than live testimony.
Court process and plea details
The state proceeded on the lesser-included misdemeanor (greater than $750 but less than $2,500) rather than the originally indicted state-jail felony. Defense counsel waived further objections and the court accepted written stipulations and exhibits in lieu of live witness testimony. The court found the evidence sufficient and entered a guilty finding. The court advised Wanless on the consequences, his limited right to appeal under the plea waiver and post-release medical and community support referrals.
Ending
The court entered the judgment, ordered 199 days in county jail with credit for any time served and directed counsel and staff to assist the defendant with post-release health-care planning.
