Defendants facing felonies appear in Kimball County Court

KIMBALL -- Four felony defendants appeared in Kimball County Court June 12 for hearings prior to moving onto District Court.
Kimball County Court Judge Randin Roland says everyone is presumed innocent until they plead guilty or are proven guilty by the court of law.
Manuel Mauk, 19, of Greeley, Colorado is facing Class 4 Felony criminal impersonation. His attorney Stacy Bach requested his bond be reduced to $1,000, which Judge Roland granted.
Mauk waived his right to a preliminary hearing, so his case is bound over to District Court for an arraignment July 12.
Annette Blanco, 54, of Scottsbluff was arrested June 5 and charged with 2 felonies and a misdemeanor. She is facing Class 2 Felony possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute, Class 4 Felony no drug tax stamp, and Class W Misdemeanor first offense DUI.
Judge Roland granted Bach’s request to reduce Blanco's bond from $100,000 to $50,000. Blanco waived her right to a preliminary hearing, so her case is bound over to District Court for an arraignment July 12.
Jeffrey West, 52, of Cheyenne was arrested June 5 and charged with Class 4 Felony possession of a controlled substance.
Judge Roland granted Bach’s request to reduce West's bond to $10,000. West waived his right to a preliminary hearing, so his case is bound over to District Court for an arraignment July 2.
Marisha Isgrigg, 35, of Cheyenne was arrested May 13 and charged with five felonies. She is facing Class 2 felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and four counts of Class 4 felony possession of a controlled substance.
At Isgrigg’s hearing June 12, Bach stated that her client is requesting a preliminary hearing, which was then set for July 11. In the hearing, both sides will present evidence and arguments regarding the charges, then the judge will determine if there is enough evidence for the case to move forward to the District Court.
Bach also requested that Isgrigg’s bond be reduced from $50,000 to $5,000 and a PR bond, which is a personal recognizance bond that allows the accused to be released from jail without paying a financial sum. Prosecutor David Wilson recommended that it be denied, and Judge Roland agreed, denying the bond requests due to the severity of the charges.
