I, the undersigned Defendant, have carefully read and fully understand the following:

A . I am charged with C R I M I N A L MISCHIEF IN THE F O U RT H D E G R E E , a SeriousMisdemeanor in violation of Iowa Code Sections 716.1 and 716.6(l)(a)(l). In conjunctionwith a Plea Agreement made with the Sac County Attorney, whereby will amend Count I to acharge of C R I M I N A L M I S C H I E F IN TH E F I F T H D E G R E E , a Simple Misdemeanor inviolation of Iowa Code Sections 716.1 and 716.6. I now request that my plea of not guilty bechanged to a Plea of Gu ilty to the amended charge.

B . The maximum punishment for a Simple Misdemeanor is imprisonment of not more thanthirty days in ja il, and a fine of not more than 625.00 plus statutory surcharges, plus a ll courtcosts and all costs and fees incurred for legal assistance. There is a minimum fine of 65.00,which is immediately due on the date of sentencing, unless a payment plan is approved by thecourt within thirty days of the Judgment date. In addition, if the charge is a violation of IowaCode Chapters, 124, 155A, 453B, 713, 714, 715A, 716, or Iowa Code Sections, 719.8, 725.1,725.2 or 725.3, there is an additional surcharge of 125. I acknowledge that, the Court mayorder me to perform community service work, i f the Court is of the opinion that communityservice work will deter and discourage others from similar criminal activity. (The rate atwhich community service shall be calculated against my fine shall be the federal minimumwage.) In addition, I may be required to pay correctional fees for incarceration andenrollment fees for probation. I am aware that sentencing options may include deferral ofJudgment and Sentence, the grant of probation and the suspension of the sentence imposed.

C. I understand that, a criminal conviction, deferred judgment or deferred sentence may affectmy status under federal immigration laws.

D . If I plead not guilty, I would be entitled to the following rights. I give up these rights bypleading guilty:(1) The right to a speedy and public trial by a jury of twelve people.(2) The right to have an attorney represent me at trial and, if the Court found I was unable toafford an attorney, the Court would, at public expense, appoint an attorney to represent me.(3) At trial, I would be presumed innocent until such time, i f ever; the State established myguilt beyond a reasonable doubt.(4) At trial, a jury verdict of guilty would have to be unanimous.(5) At trial, I would have the privilege against self-incrimination, that is, I cannot be forcedto testify, and if I choose not to testify, the State may not comment on the fact of my failure to

1


23/29

testify and, at my request, I would be entitled to a jury instruction stating that the jury couldnot infer guilt from my failure to testify.(6) . At trial, the State would have to confront me with witnesses upon whose testimony itrelied to obtain conviction, and I would have the right to cross examine those witnesses.(7) . At trial, I would be entitled to present witnesses to testify on my behalf and tocompulsory process to secure those witnesses.

E. By pleading guilty, there will not be a trial of any kind. By pleading guilty, I waive my rightto trial, and will be treated as if I had been tried and found guilty by a jury.

F. The Court, in determining whether there is a factual basis for this plea of guilty, may makesuch a determination by examining the Minutes of Testimony attached to the TrialInformation, by reviewing the investigative reports of law enforcement agents who haveinvestigated the offense, or by asking me or counsel to recite and summarize the materialfacts that would be offered at trial.The Court has the discretion to accept or reject any plea agreement made between the Stateand myself. The plea agreement is: The County Attorney will amend the charge toC R I M I N A L MISCHIEF IN THE F IFTH DEGREE, a Simple Misdemeanor in violation of IowaCode Sections 716.1 and 716.6., and I will plead guilty to the amended charge. I will pay a fineof 65.00, plus the 35% surcharge in the amount of 22.75, the Law Enforcement Initiativesurcharge in the amount of 125.00, and court costs in the amount of 100.00; by paving

50.00 per month on the 15 th day of each month beginning on the 15 th day of February 2015,and continuing on the 15 th day of each month thereafter until paid in full. As part of the pleaagreement I will repair the damaged vehicle window and provide proof of the completedrepair to the court, by submission of an invoice and or statement from the victim that therepair is completed; to be completed and submitted to the court within thirty days of thejudgment entry date.

This plea agreement includes that I will be responsible to pay court costs, payment of allcosts and f s incurred for legal assistance, victim restitution, correction (jail) fee for any jailtime and all surcharges and mandatory punishments (see paragraph B) applicable to my case.

I now state to the Court that I am, in fact GUILTY and that no threats or promises have beenmade to induce me to enter my plea of guilty. I have been informed that the elements of thecrime are: Unlawfully and willfully intentionally damage, deface, alter or destroy tangibleproperty, and the cost of replacing, restoring and/or repairing of which is 200 or less.

I understand the nature of the charge against me.This offense was committed by me in Sac County Iowa by my doing the following: I did onor about the 14 th day of November 2014 in Sac City at 1311 Martin Street, punch the rearpassenger window of a vehicle owned by Christine Grause, breaking the window, and the cost ofreplacing, restoring and/or repairing of which is 200 or less.

I hereby state that I submit this written plea of guilty with full knowledge and waiver of my rightsand I do so freely and voluntarily. No threats have been made against me to obtain this guiltyplea. No promises of leniency or favorable treatment have been made, except for any pleabargain disclosed to the Court at the time of this guilty plea.


24/29

G . If the Court accepts my plea of guilty, I realize:(1) . The Court will set a sentencing date not less than fifteen days after the date of itsacceptance of this guilty plea unless I waive this right. In order to contest this plea of guilty, Imust file a M otion in Arrest of Judgment at least five days prior to sentencing. The right tofile a Motion in Arrest of Judgment will be waived by having the Court impose a sentencetoday.(2) . If the Court imposes a sentence today, I will never be able to challenge this plea ofguilty, and I will be giving up my right to directly appeal my guilty plea.

I ask the Court to accept this plea of guilty. I waive the preceding rights and my right to havethe Court address me personally.

WAIVER OF M O T I O N IN A R R E S T OF J U D G M E N TIf the Court accepts my plea of guilty, I wish to be sentenced now. I understand that:1. In order to contest this plea of guilty, I must file a M otion in Arrest of Judgment no later

than 45 days after a plea of guilty and no later than 5 days prior to pronouncement ofjudgment, and that the Court will set a sentencing date not less than fifteen days after the

date of its acceptance of this guilty plea unless I waive this right, and the right to file aMotion in Arrest of Judgment will be waived by having the Court impose a sentence now.2. By having the Court impose my sentence now, I will never be able to challenge this plea

of guilty and I will be giving up my right to directly appeal my guilty plea.

I hereby request the Court sentence me now and I waive any time to which I may be entitledfor sentencing at a later date.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE PRESENTI have been fully advised that I have a constitutional right to be present at my sentencing

and present evidence in my own behalf. I understand that it is my choice to be present or not,and that no one can exclude me from sentencing.

With the above in mind, and further understanding that my decision whether to be presentor not is my own decision, I hereby knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to be present at mysentencing.
