10302019 - Andrew Zaleski - Relative Of Former Sheriff Finally Convicted And Sent To Prison On Domestic Violence Charges [Finally!]

Andrew Zaleski's previous criminal convictions = No prison time served because Zaleski's relative was the former sheriff of Iron County - and the relative was friends with Iron County Judge Patrick Madden.
- Child abuse and domestic violence conviction [1999]
- Homicide by Intoxicated Use of Vehicle conviction [2005]
Fast forward to 2018: Andrew Zaleski was hell-bent on terrorizing his ex-girlfriend who resided across the state line in Michigan. Unfortunate for the victim, both the Wisconsin and Michigan prosecutor's office ignored her cries for help. Often, Michigan law enforcement ignored the victim/failed to file police reports - because of Zaleski's relative being a former long-time sheriff. The victim in this case wasn't just up against her abuser, but the sheriff.
In 2019, it appeared that once again that Zaleski was going to not be held accountable for his crimes. When the FBI became aware of this case, the WI prosecutor finally put two and two together and now understood why the former sheriff was attending Zaleski's criminal court hearings.
Just weeks prior to Zaleski's trial for all of his DV offenses, Judge Madden passed away. A judge from downstate WI, who unlike Judge Madden, didn't give a rat's ass about Zaleski's powerful connection to the former sheriff, finally served up justice. And, for the first time in his twenty-year violent criminal history, Andrew Zaleski was held accountable/sentenced to prison.

More charges brought against Hurley man
Daily Globe
February 11, 2019
Hurley — A Hurley man with several active cases in Iron County is now also wanted on an additional 29 charges, after Iron County District Attorney Matt Tingstad recently filed a sixth case in Iron County Court.
Andrew R. Zaleski, 38, is charged with one count of stalking, domestic abuse; 14 counts of felony bail jumping and 14 counts of violating a foreign order of protection from Gogebic County in Michigan.
The stalking charge carries a potential maximum sentence of up to 3.5 years in prison or a fine of up to $10,000. Each bail jumping count carries a potential maximum sentence of up to six years in prison or a fine of up to $10,000.
Violating a foreign protection order is a misdemeanor with a potential maximum penalty of up to nine months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
Zaleski is accused of repeatedly contacting an ex in December and January, according to the Jan. 31 criminal complaint in the case.
A search of Zaleski’s phone by Hurley Police Department Sgt. Donald Packmayer allegedly showed evidence of texts and explicit pictures being sent through multiple applications between Dec. 22 and Jan. 7, according to the complaint.
While the daily number of alleged messages varied by day, the information in the complaint alleges the number was as high as 168 texts at one point.
Zaleski is also facing charges in several other cases in Iron County, according to online court records.
In a case filed Jan. 31, he is charged with child abuse-intentionally causing harm and felony bail jumping.
In a case filed Oct. 8, he is charged with felony bail jumping.
He is also charged with one count felony bail jumping in cases filed Oct. 3 and Sept. 6.
In a Jan. 31, 2018 case, Zaleski is charged with false imprisonment, stalking and violating a foreign protection order.
Hurley man sentenced to prison
Daily Globe
October 31, 2019
Hurley — A Hurley man was sentenced to more than three years in prison in Iron County Court Tuesday.
Andrew R. Zaleski, 39, was sentenced to a total of 3.5 years in prison for three felonies he pleaded no contest to in August.
He was sentenced to two years in prison and two years of extended supervision for felony bail jumping, two years in prison and two years of extended supervision for false imprisonment and 18 months in prison and two years of extended supervision for stalking.
Judge Gary Carlson ordered Zaleski to serve the pair of two-year prison sentences concurrently, followed by the 18 months for stalking. Online court records indicate the two years extended supervision for the stalking charge will also be served consecutively to the extended supervision ordered for the bail-jumping charge.
Zaleski was also sentenced to 90 days in jail for a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge, according to online records, which he will serve concurrently to his other sentences.
He pleaded to the four charges as part of a plea agreement that resolved all six cases against Zaleski that included a total of 37 charges.
The oldest case included in the plea agreement dates back to January 2018. In that case, a woman reported she went to a Hurley hotel room believing she was meeting someone she had been texting, but instead found Zaleski hiding on the bed under the covers.
The woman had a personal protection order against Zaleski in Gogebic County at the time.
Zaleski kept her in the room for roughly 30 minutes, according to the complaint, before she was able to get out of the room when he “let his guard down.”
In another case, Zaleski is accused of repeatedly contacting the same woman in December 2018 and January 2019.
