Burlington, IA- A Southeastern Community College women’s basketball player has been sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to shooting a car in Fort Madison.
20-year-old Angel Maes was charged with going armed with intent, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, first-degree harassment, and reckless use of a firearm.
On Sunday, January 7th, Fort Madison Police officers were dispatched to an address on Florence Drive to a report of criminal mischief.
Authorities discovered that an unoccupied vehicle had been shot multiple times with a firearm.
The owner of the vehicle named a suspect, believing it was perpetrated because of an earlier dispute between the two.
With the assistance of SCC staff, authorities executed a search warrant the same day at the Blackhawk Tower Apartments in West Burlington. Subsequently, additional evidence was recovered and Maes was arrested.
The Hawk Eye reports that Maes pleaded guilty on February 21st to the harassment and reckless use of a firearm charges, and as part of the plea agreement, the charges of going armed with intent and intimidation with a dangerous weapon were dropped.
Maes was ordered to serve the remainder of her 120-day jail sentence and is scheduled to be released from the Lee County Jail on April 12th. Maes was also ordered to serve two years’ probation following her release and ordered to pay a fine and restitution to the victim.
Her future status at SCC remains unclear.
