STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) — A new warrant has been issued for the arrest of Dawson Armstrong after he failed to appear for a plea and sentencing hearing in Portage County.
Court records show that Armstrong was to appear for charges of fleeing or eluding an officer that resulted in bodily harm or property damage at 2:00 PM. But at 2:05 it was determined that Armstrong had skipped the appearance, and notice of the hearing was sent to his last known address but returned.
A bench warrant was then issued for Armstrong, with the court noting that he also has warrants in other counties for missed appearances.
Armstrong, now 18, had recently been sentenced to community service for five misdemeanor counts of resisting or obstructing an officer and theft of movable property. He had pled not guilty to the charges in Portage County.
