The criminal docket in Judge Michael Menehan's courtroom on Friday, September 6 is as follows:
Eliu Arely Guevara Batres had an Initial Appearance and Arraignment; pleading Not Guilty to charges of criminal endangerment and aggravated DUI. Through his interpreter, he understood that his presence was required at all hearings. His Omnibus is due by October 25; Pre-Trial is set for November 22; with the Jury Trial scheduled for January 20, 2025. If he is bonded out, he must enroll in Pre-Trial Services.
John Hansson appeared for a Petition to Revoke a previous sentence. He allegedly had more than one blood alcohol test over .07 and a failure to reappear after leaving a court appearance before he was excused. His lawyer argued that he left because of a family death. He did not report the death or the subsequent funeral to his probation officer or lawyer. He has two pending DUI charges in Justice Court. He will return to court on September 13, to face the presiding judge in his case.
Andrew Cohn had an Initial Appearance on a fugitive complaint. There is a felony warrant in Utah for Cohn, for enticing a child on the internet and by text. Utah is to come get him within 10 days.
John Bourne appeared for Sentencing on charges of 4+ DUIs. He is sentenced to serve 13 months in a Treatment Center. He is to be screened for the WATCH program. His Sentence continues with five years probation. He pays a $5,000 fine with credit for time served from April 22, 2024, until September 6; which will probably negate the fine. Mandatory fees and surcharges must be paid of $80. He must pay a fine of $75 for a conviction of open container. He must abide by all standard conditions.
