Milton couple arrested after calling police

By Beth Wheelock ( Contact )   April 7, 2008 - 4:56 a.m.

From the WCLO newsroom:

Two Milton residents are being held at the Rock County Jail on felony bail jumping charges.

Milton Police responded to a home on Madison Avenue at 6pm Sunday for an unknown type of disturbance and possibly someone trespassing. Jeffery A. Wickline and Lisa M. Wickline were arrested on felony bail jumping charges because of their involvement with controlled substances. Jeffery Wickline was also arrested for possession of crack cocaine.

The two were arrested in December on charges of exposing a minor to harmful material and causing a child to view or listen to sexual activity.

unkbd...I don't think they were "wanted" for bailjumping. The bailjumping occurred and became evident once the officers discovered evidence that they violated the bond conditions from their original charges.
That evidence was discovered when they were called to the house for a matter unrelated to the original charges. It was at that point it was determined that a bond violation had occurred and arrests were made for bailjumping.
As to why they would have called the police to their home under the circumstances,we're not dealing with rocket scientists here.

utilitarian expounds on the word "choice" as it relates to drug addiction. At first glance it would appear that it is truly a free choice to use or not, but once hooked, that choice is taken away. At some point it becomes a disease, much like traditionally recognized diseases.
.

"There is puposeful behavior and choice involved" in beginning drug use, but also in contributory elements of traditional disease incubation, ie: smoking / cancer, not washing
hands / colds, influenza, failure to get a flu shot, etc.....
.
In this line of thinking, shouldn't all diseases with behavioral attributes/influences be looked at as somewhat suspect?

My first question is why. Why, if they were wanted for felony bail jumping, would either one of them call the police to their house? Why, if they were wanted for felony bail jumping, didn't the police go get them from their house before they had a chance to call them for the domestic disturbance?

The word "choice" has an interesting definition and is an interesting concept that seems to elude those who do not want to deal with the consequences of their choice, their actions. A "disease" has certain connotations. A person with bone cancer would dearly love to have the same choices a person "suffering" from addiction was afforded. Why do I use the word "afforded"? The "addict" chooses to flood their system with drugs. The "addict" can also chose NOT to use drugs. The bone cancer sufferer cannot simply choose to not have the cancer. The addict did not one day wake up with symptoms and later find out from the doctor that they had "addiction". There is puposeful behavior and choice involved in doing drugs. Just the act alone of procuring drugs is an "n" step process with "n" being the number of steps or individual efforts involved in obtaining the drug(eg.calls, driving here and there, obtaining cash) . Then there is the purposeful act of introducing the drug to the body(needles,snorting,smoking). It is doubtful that drug addiction is simply a disease. We all deal daily with the consequences of our choices. Why should addicts be less culpable?

They did post their pictures! Before the ink was dry from the first arrest... i don’t think its right to post anyone’s picture who has just been arrested. Civil society demands innocence until proven guilty. and i dont think any grade school child wants the whole world to see their parents mugshot in the paper, no matter what the parents did.

This is a sad situation, these people have been given a number of chances, and there should be a zero tolerance on any sex crimes with a child, The only person I feel sorry for is there child who will grow up not knowing what a loving family is all about.

Society can support everyone but, what we do in the privacy of our home, society cannot control. Society did not let these people down, they choose their own path and followed it, and unfortunatly dragged children down it. What is sad however is earlier postings where their friends wrote of how these were good people and what drugs have done to them. Now society has to get involved by removing children and protecting them with health and mental care, with penalizing and rehabilitating the adults and returning them to the good neighbors, parents and friends they were. We also have to accept them when they have been rehabed.

Optimism: You are absolutely correct. I've been trying to put the word out on addiction for decades. And, still, our side of the ballpark seems nearly empty.

rexkramer.......NOPE not society's responsibility to control drug addicts....but now that these two have committed a crime it is the court's responsibility NOW to put them in a controlled residence...i.e. jail. And my point was about drugs being an illness was yes! they did a crime, but let's please remember drugs and alcohol become the identity of the addict...they do things they wouldn't dare do with an unclouded mind. Not right, not an excuse, but it is true.

The war on drugs is even less successful than the war in Iraq.

optimism, let's get this straight...it's not the drug addict's fault because they're addicted, society has failed these people and the children and it's the system's responsibility to "control" crack addicted parents to make sure they don't do drugs anymore. "optimism"...that's an understatement.

Good thing we are still fighting a war on drugs. There's money well spent...

Fancy: Neither of these two have ever been convicted of any crime, according to CCAP. The felony cases from last year are still working their way through the judicial process.

This is not a defense of either of the two for this or any other case. Simply trying to correct false statements and assumptions.

Let's all hope that this girl gets a loving and caring home, where she will have the chance to lead a full and productive life.

So yet again, we can post pictures of young women arrested for dancing around naked, but the Gazette does not dare print the pictures of people who force little children to watch porn! Why are the addresses and photos of these people, who have actually been convicted, not here? Probably because they are not the appropriate race, right?

We do have to remember that drug addiction is an illness, and pretty much takes over a person's identity. But I do agree that these two need to be put somewhere where they may possibly be rehabilitated. Obviously, the damage they did to their child wasn't enough to make them realize they are out of control....the "system" needs to NOT FAIL this child, and control her parents. It is sad that people get taken over by a drug, and I can only see this being worse in our future with the way the economy has declined.

Werp...These are not great people...they are sick and not just on drugs. They have ruined their child's life. Put them in jail and leave them there maybe that will get rid of their "drug" problem. Obviously if he's getting arrested for crack cocaine last night letting them stay free is not helping. Oh by the way can you say Paranoid.

Why were these 2 beauties still free? They have no business being a part of our society. They gave up that right long ago.
