Judge C.B. McNeil dealt with the following cases Wednesday, May 9:
Travis Curtis Lozeau, 22, Ronan, was ordered to serve 30 days in the Lake County Jail as a condition of having his sentencing for theft, a felony, deferred for three years. Lozeau has already served the 30 days. According to court records, charges stem from several incidents between March and April 2011 where Lozeau allegedly was seen on surveillance video from Walmart and Harvest Foods using an ATM card that he was not authorized to use. The owner of the card had reported that it was stolen, and that her bank account in the amount of $2,335.25 was emptied without her authorization.
Bradley Noble, 49, Pablo, was sentenced to the Department of Corrections for five years, all suspended, for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, fourth or subsequent offense, a felony, and to the Lake County Jail for six months, all suspended, for driving while privilege to do so is suspended or revoked, a misdemeanor. According to court documents, charges stem from a July 2011 incident where an on-duty Polson Police officer observed a van, traveling southbound on U.S. Highway 93, cross the fog line almost hitting the curb, and abruptly jerk back. When the van did not stay in its own turn lane at Highways 35 and 93, the officer pulled the van, driven by Noble over. The officer noted the smell of alcohol and Noble’s bloodshot eyes, and Noble’s unsteadiness as he exited the van. There were passengers in the vehicle. Dispatch informed the officer that Noble had seven previous DUI convictions. Further tests at the site indicated impairment. Noble refused to give a breath sample at the site, and again refused during processing at the Lake County Jail. Records showed that in the past five years Noble has had another conviction for driving while his license was suspended or revoked.
Tammy M. Evert, 35, Missoula, had her July 2011 suspended sentence for bail jumping, a felony, revoked and was sentenced to the Department of Corrections for five years. She will receive full credit for time served while in custody. According to court documents, Evert violated her probation when she was arrested in March for driving with a suspended driver’s license and by consuming alcohol; on March 19, a breathalyzer test showed Evert had a blood alcohol concentration of .034 percent.
