Andrew S. Featherly, 25, 1228 Kern Ave., Rice Lake, failed to re- turn to the jail April 19 after finishing what should have been an 11 a.m.-6 p.m. work shift. He was in jail pending the outcome of the other two charges against him, in connection with allegedly trying to conceal the presence of 26-year- old Brittany Klobertanz, Rice Lake, at the Microtel, Rice Lake, on March 26. The charge of criminal damage to property stems from a screen which was broken as the pair allegedly at- tempted tied bedsheets together and hung them out the motel window in an attempt to escape, court docu- ments said. Sentencing is set for Sept. 5 on the escape charge against Featherly. Klobertanz pleaded guilty May 1 to one count of forgery in connection with charges from 2011. Two felony bail jumping charges were dismissed but read into the record. Klobertanz was scheduled to be sentenced June 29.
