Sara Pientka
STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) — The woman accused of failing to report her sister’s murder entered a plea for multiple misdemeanor counts, including failure to report a crime and disorderly conduct.
Sara Pientka is accused of withholding information on the death of her sister, Jeanette Pientka, back in July. She’s accused of leaving the scene of the stabbing, then telling officers she had no information regarding the incident.
Investigators say Sara and her boyfriend, Lyndon Hood, had just been evicted from their home. Hood admitted to stabbing Jeanette, while Sara pulled him off the victim, then fled the scene.
A visitor then found Jeanette and called for help. Attempts to revive her failed, and she died at the scene.
The deal covers three open cases. The 46-year-old also entered a guilty plea for three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. A third case for misdemeanor bail jumping was then dismissed but read into the record.
Sara Pientka will be sentenced on September 2nd. Hood is facing one count of intentional homicide and is due in court for an adjourned initial appearance on September 3rd.
