Career Criminal - Judge Sets Him Free...to Continue Career

-
Yesterday I was reading a Facebook post from the Joplin Police Department on the infamous Willie J. Spencer.  So let's take a look at him.  Following is a Joplin Globe news article on Mr. Spencer:  

I believe one of the cases that this article was referring to is 17AO-CR00551, ST V Willie J Spencer and the charge was Robbery carrying a Felony B.  Here is the history of the case:
5-9-17 the warrant was issued with a bond of $25,000 cash
5-18-17 the judge released Mr. Spencer ON HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE(Get out of jail free)
6-7-17 Mr. Spencer appeared in court.
7-26-17 Mr. Spencer failed to appear in court.
7-31-17 a "Capias" warrant was issued with a $5,000 cash bond.
7-31-17 that warrant was served.

Now readers please understand that in my reading of case.net and taking notes there are times when I actually have to do housework and keep the grandkids, so I don't always have time to follow cases every day.

On 11-12-17 I went back to case.net specifically on this case and the entire case was gone from case.net.  Which probably means a deal was made on the sentencing if he pled to some other charges, don't really know for sure.

Moving on --17AO-CR00898 - St V Willie J Spencer
7-26-17 Warrant issued $20,000 cash - charges Robbery Felony A,  Armed Criminal Action Felony Unclassified, Delivery of Controlled Substance Felony E.
9-28-17 cased moved to Jasper County Division 2.
10-16-17 Jury trial set for 3-27-18.
10-24-17 case moved to Jasper County Division 3.
10-26-17 Criminal Motion Hearing set for 11-6-17.
11-6-17 Jury trial 4-3-18, pretrial motions 12-12-17.
12-12-17 one public defender withdraws and another one enters on the case, pretrial motions 12-27-17.
12-27-17 bond reduction hearing 1-8-18.
1-8-18 bond reduction denied.
1-16-18 Mr. Spence pled guilty and received 10 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections, Suspended
Execution of Sentence, 5 years probation.
Mr. Spencer's current Parole Officer is Tiffany Bryant and chances are she has no clue about the events reported yesterday on the Joplin Police Department facebook page. 
And Mr. Spencer has also had problems in Joplin Municipal Court.  1-9-17 he was charged with Larceny and paid restitution. On 4-27-17 he was charged with Possession of Marijuana and received a Suspended Execution of Sentence. 

 And last but not least, 2-12-18 he was charged with Domestic Assault, case is ongoing and he has to appear with an attorney in April.

You know there are times when I feel like it wouldn't hurt to have an island somewhere that at some point you could stick a fork in these defendants and send them off to that island to deal with each other.  Oh but wait, that's what they tried to do with Australia.

Tune in next week for more!  Thanks for reading!  Hope you all had a fantastic Valentine's Day!

WOW - guess I hit a nerve and pissed some people off  with last week's blog.  Here  is a fact for you - Indiana spends more on its jails than it does on education for its children.  Maybe if they spent all that money in teaching their children right from wrong they wouldn't have big ol jails. Jail count Monday 3-26-18 - 266. Did you know that the Joplin Municipal Court has a website that you can check charges and see if you have court and what date.  Great site.  So in trying to decide what to write about this week I typed in the name of my subject in the Joplin website and found out she has 3 last names.  Alma Louise Karr Sherrick Powers - and I probably don't have them in the correct order, but on with the story. Case number 17AO-CR00985 was filed 7-20-17 and 7-28-17 for 2 counts of robbery, each one a B Felony. And the history goes like this: 8-9-17 Warrant Issued 8-14-17 Bond set ...

Back on May 2, 2018 I let you know about the saga of John Doe and Mr. Got Dad's Money -- the 70 year old man that Mr. Got Dad's Money turned around and came back to beat the crap out of and he was never charged.    I saw John Doe last weekend -- still wearing the bruises from that beat down AND here is something else Mr. Got Dad's Money should be real proud of -- he beat an elderly man who walks with cane.   At this point all I can say about the Prosecuting Attorney is God will take care of this in the end, hope you and Mr. Money can explain it then!  However, our APPOINTED Prosecuting Attorney will have another one to add to the list of "REALLY?"!   Mr. Landowner owns an empty lot across the street from Mr. Renter. Mr. Renter decides he needs to put up a mailbox on Mr. Landowner's empty lot and decides he doesn't need permission to do so. Mr. Renter digs a hole, plants a mailbox on the empty lot across the street from his house. Mr. Landowner ta...

More and more I am seeing bonds that are being issued by the judges as "10% cash required to the court".   Here are 4 just off the Jasper County Sheriff's Office roster: 1.  Cody Proffitt - 18AO-CR00761 - Stealing Controlled Substance -  D Felony $3,000 - 10% cash required 2.  Jesse Sprinkle - 17AO-CR01562-01 - 2nd/Assault - B Felony $15,000 - 10% cash required 3.  Darrell Towne - 18AO-CR00882 - Domestic Assault - E Felony $10,000 - 10% cash required 4.  Scott Troutman - 18AO-CR00490-01 - Attempted Burglary/Receive Stolen Prop/ Assault C Felony $35,000 - 10% cash required With these type bonds the defendant posts 10% of the bond with the court and gets a 90% discount for the rest.  Remember from past articles I have told you that when a defendant is on bond with a bondsman and takes off, they have to find him or pay the entire amount of the bond, 100% to...
