Five defendants plead guilty in Grundy County Circuit Court cases

Five defendants pleaded guilty in the Associate Division of Grundy County Circuit Court on Nov. 10. Jomelle Baker of Trenton pleaded guilty to an amended charge of misdemeanor fourth-degree assault stemming from Nov. 4. Under a plea agreement, prosecutors filed an amended charge, and Baker waived formal arraignment. The court accepted the agreement, suspended imposition of sentence, and placed her on one year of court-supervised probation. Baker received six days of shock incarceration in the Grundy County Jail, with credit for six days already served. She must pay $240 in jail boarding fees directly to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, $117.50 in court costs, and a $300 donation to the Law Enforcement Restitution Fund. The combined $697.50 is due by Jan. 12.
