A Pottawattamie County man avoided prison time, but not an almost $9,000 bill. The Daily NonPareil reports 22-year old Mark Wilke, Jr., of Oakland, was sentenced Wednesday to two, three-year prison terms after pleading guilty to an amended charge of operating a motor vehicle without owner’s consent, driving while barred and operating a vehicle while intoxicated. It was his second OWI.

Fourth District Judge Greg Steensland ordered the sentences to run consecutively, not concurrently, which means Wilke will be on supervised probation for up to six years. The Judge then suspended the sentence to allow Wilke to make restitution to his victims. Assistant Pottawattamie County Attorney Dan Salvo-McGinn said he believed the six years of supervised probation is a county record. Before Thursday, he said five years of supervised probation was the record length.

If Judge Steensland had run the sentences together, Wilke would have been on probation for two years. Steensland also suspended more than $3,000 in fines, so that Wilke can pay restitution to the victims as soon as possible. Steensland said he rarely suspends a fine ($1,875) for an OWI, but he wants Wilke to pay the victims back quickly. Salvo-McGinn said Wilke owes a little more than $8,661 to the victims.

Around 4:30 a.m., on May 24, 2015, while intoxicated, Mark Wilke Jr., stole a 2014 Chrysler 200 and hit a minivan at a high rate of speed. Before he came to a stop, Wilke hit two parked cars and the side of a house on the 3500 block of Avenue A, in Council Bluffs. During the plea and sentencing hearing, Wilke apologized for the damage he did to the house and the vehicles.
