Judge Bryan Jeanes

Wood County Judge Bryan Jeanes spent the weekend at Wood County Jail as part of an agreement recommended by the Attorney General’s office as a result of a driving while intoxicated arrest this spring.

“I can confirm the Attorney General’s office recommended a $1,500 fine and 10 days in jail in an exchange for a guilty plea,” Wood County District Attorney Jim Wheeler said. “And that ruling was handed down by Judge Boswell (Timothy).”

Records confirm Jeanes was sentenced for driving while intoxicated with an alcohol concentration of 0.15 or more. His fee totals, which have been paid, were $372.10 and the $1,500 fine for a total of $1,872.10. The charge was a Class A misdemeanor.

Wood County jail records indicate Jeanes was booked into the facility Friday and released Sunday.

Jeanes was arrested April 28 and released on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond. Mineola police responded to a report of a reckless driver coming to Mineola on Hwy. 69 south. The Wood County Sheriff’s Department was called and Mineola officers assisted.

Jeanes told the Mineola Monitor at the time, “I’m guilty. I broke the law and I’m going to have to pay the price. I guess the only other thing to say is I’m human like everyone else, and I’ve got my frailties and weaknesses, and I am going to have to deal with them.”
