A former Centerville man is heading to prison after twice violating terms of his probation in 2009.
The case against Roy Edwin Waller Jr., 44, began in February 2009 when the Appanoose County attorney charged him with carrying weapons, an aggravated misdemeanor. The charge stemmed from a Jan. 19, 2009 incident in the 1300 block of South 16th Street in Centerville where Waller Jr. allegedly pulled a concealed knife exceeding eight inches in length on an Alliant meter reader.
Waller Jr. on Feb. 6, 2009 filed a petition to plead guilty to the aggravated misdemeanor charge of carrying weapons. On the same day Judge Kirk A. Daily accepted his negotiated voluntary guilty plea and sentenced him to two-years in prison, suspended to two-years probation, plus a $625 fine and other costs.
The first probation violation report was filed in March 2009 and accused Waller Jr. of leaving the county without permission from his supervising officer. In April 2009 Judge Daily gave him seven days in jail, which he had already served, plus court and attorney costs, for that infraction.
The second probation violation report was filed in November 2009 and accused Waller Jr. of using illegal drugs. The report states Waller Jr. was arrested by the Des Moines Police Department Oct. 22, 2009 and charged with forgery in Polk County and a subsequent urinalysis came back positive for THC.
For both probation violations, Waller Jr. filed a petition admitting he had committed the violations.
Judge Daily on Jan. 22. revoked Waller Jr.'s two-year probation sentence and ordered him to serve up to two-years in state prison. Waller Jr. was then transported to the Iowa Medical Classification Center in Oakdale.
