Judge C. B. McNeil dealt with the following cases Wednesday, Jan. 18:
Jonathan Green, 23, Charlo, had his 2009 deferred sentence for burglary, a felony, revoked and was sentenced to the Department of Corrections for five years, three suspended. He will receive full credit for time served while in custody. The court recommended Green be considered for placement in inpatient chemical dependency treatment program and pre-release.
According to court documents, Green violated his probation by failing to meet with his probation officer as scheduled in September 2011 and failing to complete a court-ordered chemical dependency evaluation.
Roger Bordeaux, 60, Polson, was sentenced to the Department of Corrections for 20 years, 15 suspended, for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, fourth or subsequent offense, a felony.
According to court records, charges stem from a May 31 incident where Bordeaux allegedly drove into a person’s driveway while drinking, offered him a beer and then tried to sell him a pie. The man telephoned his neighbor, a Montana Highway Patrol Trooper, to advise him that Bordeaux was headed to his residence. The officer phoned his wife, who reported that the suspect’s vehicle was stopped on Ninepipe Road and that the driver appeared to be urinating on the side of the road. She reported that the driver drove away heading towards Charlo. A tribal officer located the suspect’s vehicle in the parking lot of Tiny’s Bar in Charlo. Two open beer cans, one empty in the backseat, were observed inside the vehicle. The bartender told officers that Bordeaux had just gotten there and had not yet entered the bar. Officers noticed an odor of alcoholic beverage on Bordeaux’s breath. A breath sample registered a .178 blood alcohol concentration. Knowing the defendant’s history of prior convictions, a Montana Highway Patrol Trooper took over the investigation, as the offense was a felony.
