BUREAU COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT

Mentgen sentenced to 35 years for murder

Guilty plea entered Feb. 10 in Bureau County Circuit Court

Mentgen will be required to serve 100 percent of the sentence, minus 237 days served while his case was pending.

Judge’s comments

BY KIM SHUTE Shaw Media PRINCETON — Eddie L. Mentgen Jr., who was accused of killing Spring Valley woman Marissa Roberts, will spend 35 years in prison after pleading guilty Feb. 10 to first-degree murder.

Mentgen, 38, was scheduled for a bench trial Feb. 18 in Bureau County Circuit Court.

However, at what was supposed to be his final pretrial appearance, he Eddie L. instead pleaded guilty Mentgen Jr. to the charge. Had he been found guilty at trial, he would have faced up to 20-60 years in prison.

Relatives of Roberts as well as Mentgen lined the benches in the courtroom, watching the proceedings in stony silence, except for occasional tears.

Mentgen, clad in a white dress shirt and tie with sweatpants, was himself was largely emotionless during the hearing, answering the judge’s direct questions, but declining to speak when given the opportunity.

Before accepting the plea, Judge C.J. Hollerich emphasized his concern that Mentgen, at his own request, had not been housed in Bureau County Jail, opting to be housed first in the Dixon Correctional Center, then in Joliet on a parole hold stemming from a prior conviction.

“Do you feel you’ve had adequate opportunity to speak to your attorney,” he questioned, to which Mentgen answered yes.

“For the record, I didn’t know there would be a plea deal until about 10:10-10:15 this morning,“ Hollerich continued. “I want to make it clear that no prior discussions between myself and the defendant or myself and the victim’s family previously took place.”

Laying out the facts Bureau County State’s Attorney Geno Caffarini laid out the facts of the prosecution’s case, which would have come out at trial had Mentgen not pleaded guilty.

On April 5 of last year, Mentgen is accused of bludgeoning to death with a hammer then-girlfriend Roberts, who was 28 years old, in her Spring Valley apartment.

According to Caffarini, Mentgen,

along with Roberts and her children, went to a Metamora McDonald’s the morning of the murder to allegedly collect his paycheck. He then returned to Spring Valley where he said he parted ways with Roberts.

She was found unresponsive with a head wound at 7 p.m. that evening, and pronounced dead shortly after.

Mentgen then made another trip to the same McDonald’s later that day with Roberts’ children and a different female acquaintance.

He was captured on surveillance video wearing clothes associated with the murder during the early hours of the day, but he had changed clothes by evening.

Caffarini said Mentgen hid evidence of the crime, including his clothing, which was covered in Roberts’ blood, bloody blankets and a towel, in a dumpster outside the LaSalle residence of that friend.

Mentgen was picked up a few days later in Wisconsin where he fled after the murder. Both his and Roberts’ phones had been pinged together throughout April 5, both before and after Roberts was pronounced dead.

After the hearing, Caffarini and First Assistant State’s Attorney Thomas Briddick expressed satisfaction with the verdict.

“There was some talk last week about the possibility of a guilty plea,“ Caffarini said, “and today we reached an agreement. We came up with 35 years because we

“The LaSalle Police had the foresight to look in the dumpster where the evidence was found. Without it, we could have had an unsolved murder.

We might have had a suspect, but not enough evidence to convict.”

Geno Caffarini

Bureau County state’s attorney

came to the conclusion that it’s a life sentence, so we figure he’ll be spending his life in prison.”

No motive ever offered Caffarini said no motive has ever been offered for the killing, though he doesn’t believe it was premeditated.

“I don’t think there was a time where he thought several days he was going to kill her,” he said.

Caffarini also praised investigators involved, saying Spring Valley and LaSalle Police were an invaluable resource in gathering evidence.

“The LaSalle Police had the foresight to look in the dumpster where the evidence was found,” Caffarini said. “Without it, we could have had an unsolved murder. We might have had a suspect, but not enough evidence to convict.”

ILLINOIS STATE POLICE | DISTRICT 17 | PUTNAM, BUREAU AND LASALLE COUNTIES

New-generation police dog does not alert to cannabis

BY ALI BRABOY Shaw Media A Belgian Malinois dog full of energy has joined the Illinois State Police District 17 forces based in LaSalle.

Blitz, less than 2 years old, graduated from ISP canine certification school in November and has since worked with Trooper John Ritchie on his shifts practically every day since.

“The canines are such a great resource to have,” Ritchie said.

Blitz joins two other District 17 dogs. But he’s is a bit different than the others.

He’s not certified on cannabis, which means although he can smell the substance as someone can smell Doritos or a car freshener, Blitz doesn’t alert officers to the scent.

The dogs in the two most recent ISP K-9 classes aren’t certified on cannabis, Ritchie said.

“We have to test him on cannabis to show that he’s not alerting to it,” he said.

The K-9 dogs still are full-service dogs certified to find methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin and the derivatives such as crack cocaine or black tar heroin, he said.

Blitz weighs about 50 pounds, which Ritchie said is nice when it comes to training. Some other police dogs can weigh 80 to 100 pounds, Ritchie said.

“When you’re animated, they get animated,” Ritchie said. “The more you’re having fun, the more they’ll have fun.”

Ritchie plays tug-of-war with Blitz — “It’s much easier with a 50-pound dog versus a 90-pound dog. Your back feels a lot better afterward,” Ritchie said with a laugh.

When people think of a police K-9, they often think of narcotic work, which is a big portion of the work the ISP handles, Ritchie said, but the dogs provide many more benefits in addition.

“They’re also a great resource especially with the colder months if someone gets lost,” and if a child runs outside in the cold temperatures without a parent noticing and

A 50-pound Belgian Malinois dog known as “Blitz” plays with Trooper John Ritchie with Illinois State Police District 17, which covers LaSalle, Putnam and Bureau counties.

Shaw Media photo/Scott Anderson needs locating or if a senior with Alzheimer’s wanders off, Ritchie said.

Blitz also can track article searches, so if there’s a crime, the dog can look for evidence such as shell casings and knives.

“They’re not robots, they’re not perfect. The more training you put into your dog, the better they’ll respond, just like in anything else

because they’re a living being. It’s a huge responsibility,” Ritchie said.

In addition to working with Illinois State Police, Blitz already has been an asset to local police departments.

“He’s a great tool and a resource to be able to be called upon for all the local agencies and everybody in the surrounding area,” Ritchie said.

ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT

Dispute over gas receipts heading to Supreme Court

Mautino: ‘This will be the final step’ ​BY TOM COLLINS AND DEREK BARICHELLO Shaw Media The years-long dispute over former Spring Valley Democratic state Rep. Frank Mautino’s gas receipts is going to the Illinois Supreme Court.

David Cooke, a former Streator resident who challenged Mautino’s fuel receipts — and secured a never-paid $5,000 fine against Mautino’s disbanded campaign — won the last round of a back-and-forth court

battle in August.

At that time, a Springfield-based appeals court largely ruled in Cooke’s favor and directed the receipts flap back to the Illinois State Frank Board of Elections for Mautino new proceedings.

Illinois auditor Now, Mautino and general his lawyers think the appeals court was wrong and have successfully appealed for a hearing by the state’s top court.

“And this will be the final step,” Mautino said, “that’s what we hope.”

Cooke said he was “anxious” to

hear what the Supreme Court says.

“I believe our case is overwhelming and we have won on appeal twice,” Cooke said. “I’m anxious to see what the judgment is on the Supreme Court level. I have no doubt about our case.”

The Supreme Court’s website confirmed the high court will hear the case (a docket number is assigned) and the clerk’s office said a brief from Mautino’s lawyers is due March 4. Oral arguments will be scheduled later.

Cooke filed his challenge in early 2016, shortly after Mautino, a longtime state representative, was named Illinois auditor general.

Cooke disputed records showing fuel and auto service receipts valued at more than $200,000 over an 11-year period.

Mautino had been largely silent on the issue but did say in a 2016 release the fuel receipts were for a small fleet of vehicles driven by him and a campaign worker.

Unconvinced, Cooke pursued the matter doggedly and was mostly successful in court, if also unsatisfied with the actions taken by the Illinois State Board of Elections.

The board did level a $5,000 fine but twice deadlocked over whether to turn the violations over for criminal prosecution.

Since its inception in 2009, the U.S. News nursing home ratings have relied on data from Nursing Home Compare, a program run by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) which is the federal agency that sets and enforces standards for all nursing homes.

This year, U.S. News introduced a new approach to calculate the Overall Rating that now incorporates the Short-Term Rehabilitation Rating and Long-Term Care Rating from each nursing home to generate an overall score. All measures in both ratings were developed from publicly available date from CMS as of August 2019.

The show will run Friday, Feb. 21, through Sunday, Feb. 23. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday. All performances are at the Prairie Arts Center, 24 Park Ave. East in Princeton.

“Tuna Does Vegas” by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard is a sequel to last season’s “Greater Tuna.” The fun begins when radio host Arles Struvie announces on air that he and his wife, Bertha, are renewing their wedding vows in Vegas. The two-man cast portrays all of the inhabitants of Tuna — men, women, as well as Vegas showgirls and more. “Tuna Does Vegas” is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

Josh Bush and Fox Weber, both

of Princeton, are stars of the show, bringing to life the citizens of Tuna.

Rex Bush and Beckett Conwell make guest appearances as Elvis impersonators. Additional voices are provided by Rex Bush, Beckett Connell, Emma Frost, Andy Marti, Jill Marti, Dixie Schroeder and Ken Schroeder. Theater veteran Dixie Schroeder of Princeton is the show’s director.

Tickets are $15 per person. Online ticket sales are available at www. prairiearts.org. For phone sales, call 815-875-2787 and leave a message.

Walk-in tickets will also be available at the door.

Other shows in the PACs 2020 lineup include “Leaving Iowa” in late April, “Delval Divas” in late August and the annual children’s Christmas show. Prairie Arts Council programming is funded in part by grants from the Illinois Arts Council and Church Women United.

Collected by chapter members, cal-

endars for year 2020 have been delivered to two nursing homes.

Due to illness involving the presenter of the February program, members held a round-table discussion on activities and possible projects for the next chapter year.
