A Mount Pleasant man who was arrested last year for third-degree burglary, a class D felony, in Washington County was recently given probation.

Court documents show 19-year-old Dallyn Joe Kern arrested for alleged burglaries that occurred in February of 2021 at Madison Mini Storage in Washington. Among the items that went missing was a chainsaw that was located in Kern’s vehicle during the execution of a search warrant by the Fort Madison Police Department. Kern’s charge was changed this March to possession of stolen property, an aggravated misdemeanor. Through a plea agreement Kern was ordered to serve two years probation with a two-year prison sentence suspended. He must pay a $855 fine with a 15% criminal services surcharge, Category B restitution, and any pecuniary damages filed. His roommate, 29-year-old Desiree Lynn Bishop was convicted of felony burglary for her involvement in the crime, and was given five years probation. Kern and Bishop were also involved in a string of burglaries in North Lee County for which Kern pleaded guilty last year to eight counts and Bishop pleaded guilty to 10, and they were both placed on probation.
