A judge granted probation to a man charged in connection with an hours-long standoff with police last March.

Christopher Chappell pleaded guilty last month to one count of 2nd-degree burglary. He admitted he entered a woman’s home on Carol Drive without the resident’s permission and wouldn’t allow her to leave. She was able to send a 911-text, but Chappell refused to let her answer the door when police arrived.

Prosecutors say the victim did not cooperate with authorities. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kristina Zeit told the judge the woman is not fearful of the defendant, and disagrees with their decision to charge him.  Zeit also pointed out that Chappell threatened to leave a bullet in her head.  Defense lawyer Mitchel Jenkins told the judge there was never a gun involved.

Circuit Judge Daniel Kellogg ordered five-years probation.  Kellogg ordered Chappell to serve 120 days shock time, but gave him credit for 81 days he’s already spent in jail.
