PINEDALE — Four Sweetwater County residents will stand trial this summer in Sublette County for counts ranging from stalking and false imprisonment to reckless endangering and battery stemming from an alleged incident this fall.
According to an article by Joy Ufford appearing in the Sublette Examiner on Monday, the incident occurred in Sublette County between two hunting parties on October 18, 2020.
Each Sweetwater County man was arraigned via video conferencing on Monday, and they will each have their day in court on June 8, according to Ufford.
The Sublette County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that Adam Angelovic, Phillip Peterson Casey Trujillo and Jonathan Crooks were all charged in the case. Angelovic has been charged with stalking, battery and criminal entry while Peterson and Trujillo have both been charged with unlawful contact and false imprisonment. Trujillo was also charged with stalking, and Crooks faces four counts of reckless endangering with a firearm.
According to the article in the Examiner, all of the counts are misdemeanors stemming from the confrontation between the four men and Big Piney resident Lowell T. Hunt.
An argument between Hunt and Angelovic allegedly took place back in July when Hunt threatened to “take care of” two of Angelovic’s dogs that he said were running loose through his camp. That episode then allegedly spilled over into the fall which resulted in the four Sweetwater County men being charged.
Sublette County District Court Judge Curt Haws established each defendant’s bond at $2,000 and set their trial dates for June 8. The four men are not to have contact with Hunt or his family.
