-A Mosinee teen was sentenced for his part in a crime spree in several local counties.Sawyer Wirkus, along with two other teens, Nicholas Nesbitt and Garrett Niggeman, allegedly stole two vehicles, attempted to steal two more, stole a gun and burglarized both a cabin and a shed between Wood, Taylor and Marathon Counties.
Most of the charges were dismissed and read into the record. That also includes the handful of charges filed against him in Wood and Taylor Counties which were consolidated into the Marathon County Case. Wirkus did plead no contest to several charges of burglary of a building or dwelling and theft of moveable property.
Wirkus was sentenced to 90 days in jail, but the sentence was stayed as long as he completes 3 years of probation without any more problems. He must not have any contact with others involved in the incident, he is not allowed to have a firearm unless it?s for hunting purposes, he must write letters of apology, he owes $4,643.33 in restitution and he must undergo all necessary counseling.
A $25,000 signature bond was also set and will apply during his probation. If he successfully completes his probation, he can have his record expunged when he's 22.
