A Napoleon man who damaged a wall at the county jail has been sentenced.
Blake Heisler, 39, was transported earlier this month from the Correctional Reception Center in Orient to the courtroom of Wood County Common Pleas Judge Molly Mack.
He was indicted in January for vandalism, a fifth-degree felony, after he damaged a wall at the Northwest Community Corrections Center.
Heisler pleaded guilty in March to the charge and was sentenced to 12 months in prison, to run concurrently with the 18-month sentence he is serving through Defiance County.
On Dec. 14, Bowling Green police were dispatched to the corrections center on East Gypsy Lane Road on a vandalism report.
A corrections employee showed the officer a video of the common room at 8:20 p.m. on Dec. 13. The video showed Heisler, who was an inmate, getting up from his chair and running toward a wall. He then jumped into the wall causing a body-size hole in the drywall.
The approximate damage to the wall was $500 and the area had to be roped off due to the damage, she said.
On Dec. 21, Heisler was released on an own recognizance bond.
He was arrested in Defiance County on Dec. 22 for violating conditions on a community control sentence. He had been sentenced in March 2022 to three years on community control after pleading guilty to improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle.
