SUBLETTE COUNTY – A Pinedale man is charged with unlawful entry to commit battery after breaking glass and kicking in a locked apartment door on May 21.
William B. Sciolino is charged with a felony of unlawful entry into an occupied structure to commit domestic battery. He is also charged with misdemeanors of domestic battery, second offense, criminal entry, criminal trespass and interference with a peace officer, records show.
A misdemeanor charge of property destruction was upgraded to a felony after estimates to replace the door – with the deadbolt still locked – rose above $1,000. He was previously convicted of domestic assault in 2020 in Natrona County.
The case was bound over to 9th District Court. Sciolino’s arraignment there is Friday, June 9, at 10 a.m.
On May 21 around 9:30 p.m., Deputy Shawn Butner responded to an active domestic dispute in Pinedale, according to his affidavit. Sciolino had left on foot and was not nearby. The front door window was shattered and the door broken away from the wall, he noted. Butner spoke to a young woman with scratches and bruises and took a picture, he said.
The woman said she and Sciolino left her house to get her youngest daughter, with a babysitter friend at Sciolino’s home. Sciolino saw someone in his home he disliked and walked back to her place, where another daughter was. When the woman returned, she told him to leave. She locked him out but he punched out the window and kicked in the door, it says. He allegedly pushed his hand against her throat; she fell and knocked a daughter into a table. She said Sciolino kicked her before leaving, the affidavit says.
The victim had security camera footage of the entire incident, it says.
Sciolino was taken to the clinic and treated for his injured hand and denied hitting the woman, it says. Butner left the room but returned with several deputies when Sciolino threatened and spit at staff, refusing to cooperate, it says. Deputies decided staff couldn’t treat him until he was sober so Sciolino was taken to jail and placed in a padded cell.
Sciolino waived his June 1 Circuit Court preliminary hearing; his bond is set at $7,500 cash only.
