A woman
charged with child endangerment was
sentenced in 9th District Court on
Sept. 17 to supervised probation – and
might have the charge dropped if she
completes probation successfully.
Jennifer L. Brannan, of Pinedale,
entered a plea agreement in 9th District
Court after being charged with – and
initially pleading not guilty to – two
felony counts of endangering children
in a place where meth is used or stored.
In exchange for Brannan’s pleading
guilty to one count that might be
removed from her record, Deputy
County Attorney Clayton Melinkovich
and public defender ElisabethTrefonas
negotiated an agreement to recommend
three years of supervised probation,
court record show. If Brannan is
successful with meeting all of her
probation terms, that deferred charge
would be dismissed.
Judge Marv Tyler accepted Brannan’s
guilty plea and the plea agreement at her
Sept. 17 change-of-plea and sentencing
hearing.
The judge said Brannan must fully
comply with “any and all probation
terms and conditions” and cannot be
arrested for anything or even receive a
citation “except for very minor traffic
violations.” He also ordered her to obtain
her high school equivalency certification
within 35 months and substance abuse
treatment.
Brannan must also pay $425 in fees
and reimburse Sublette County $250 for
her public defender.
