Judge revokes probation for Jeremy Kimpton after victim and police testimony
Summary
After contested testimony from the victim and law enforcement, the court revoked Jeremy Kimpton’s probation for violations tied to a December domestic-violence incident; the victim described knife threats and visible injuries and deputies testified to extensive blood and a knife found at the scene. The judge ordered revocation following argument.
A Clinton County judge revoked the probation of Jeremy Kimpton after hearing victim testimony, deputy accounts of the scene and the probation office’s history of prior violations.
The court heard testimony that an incident on Dec. 3 included threats with a knife and injuries to the victim, identified on the record as Angela Guerrero. Guerrero testified that, during the confrontation, Kimpton “stepped beside my head and told me he said, ‘I’ll kill you,’ ” and described cuts to her hand and other injuries that required medical attention. Guerrero said she was able to escape to a neighbor and later sought medical treatment for a sliced thumb.
Deputy Alan Cash, the arresting officer, told the court he arrived to find blood throughout the residence and a knife in the driveway. “When you first walked in, there was blood all the way into the kitchen… there was blood all over the floor, all over the bed,” he testified. Deputy Cash also said body-camera footage recorded the arrest and that the defendant initially declined EMS before later receiving care.
Probation officer Darius Morrow outlined multiple prior violations while Kimpton was on supervision, including admissions of substance use and prior violation reports that the probation office had filed. Counsel for the defendant cross‑examined witnesses and argued the incidents’ context; defense witnesses and the defendant disputed certain facts. After receiving testimony and argument the court found the evidence sufficient to revoke Kimpton’s probation.
Unidentified Judge announced on the record, “So I’m gonna revoke him,” and ordered the revocation to be entered; the judge remanded scheduling for follow-up and indicated further paperwork and, where appropriate, a revocation hearing disposition entry would be made on the docket.
Next steps: The court entered the revocation on the record and directed clerk and probation staff to process the corresponding orders and to set any related sentencing or revocation disposition dates; the record shows further administrative entries and timelines (negotiation/return dates) will appear on the docket.
