Great Falls Tribune Tuesday, June 13, 1989 In brief Great Falls and the area Man charged with kidnapping JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) A Louisiana man accused of holding eight people hostage in Yellowstone National Park was charged Monday with one count of kidnapping. However, U.S. Attorney Richard Stacy said Brett Hartley, 18, of Baton Rouge, could face additional charges. Hartley made his initial appearance before U.S.

Magistrate Timothy Bommer in Jackson and was to be transported to Cheyenne by the U.S. Marshal's Service. Hartley allegedly held eight hostages at gunpoint Friday for about three hours at the Old Faithful visitors center. They were released unharmed, and Hartley surrendered a few hours later. A preliminary hearing has been set for Thursday in Cheyenne.

Choteau man admits sexual assault A 44-year-old Choteau man accused of sexually molesting two young girls during 1985 and 1986 at Ulm changed his plea on Monday to guilty of two counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual intercourse without consent. State District Judge Joel Roth set sentencing for Robert Earl Hollar for July 13 and allowed him to remain free on $20,000 bail on the condition that he have no contact with the victims unless under the supervision of a social worker and that he have no contact with any other juveniles. Roth also ordered Hollar to continue therapy in Helena. Hollar faces a maximum sentence of 80 years in Montana State Prison and a fine of $150,000. The Cascade County attorney's office charged Hollar with the three offenses earlier this year after a joint investigation by Teton and Cascade county law forcement officers.

Prosecutors accused Hollar of fondling occasions during late 1985 and 1986. intercourse with a 9-year-old girl between a 14-year-old girl on two separate He is also accused of having sexual Feb. 1 and June 1, 1986. Woman pleads guilty to lesser charge HELENA (AP) A Vaughn-area woman accused of conspiring to kill a truck driver found shot to death last summer pleaded guilty Monday to bail jumping and obstruction of a police officer. Sherrin Jarvis, 28, entered the pleas in exchange for dismissal of the conspiracy charge in the death of John Roberts, a Vaughn truck driver.

His body was found in a ditch near Augusta last August. Jarvis was one of five people originally charged in connection with Roberts' death. Of the others, two were convicted, one pleaded guilty and the alleged trigger man Frederick "Rocky" Runstrom was acquitted. Jarvis had been released without bail after agreeing to testify at the trials of others charged in the crime, but she failed to appear at two trials. She did testify at Runstrom's trial.

Raymond P. Bourne was convicted in February of being an accomplice to the murder and has been sentenced to 60 years in prison. Teresa J. Robbins was convicted in March of conspiracy to commit murder and is awaiting sentencing. Bourne's brother, Daniel E.

Bourne, 42, of Vaughn, received 40 years in prison after pleading guilty last December to being an accomplice. Sentencing for Jarvis was scheduled July 11. Rapist sentenced to 50 years MISSOULA (AP) Gerald B. Pileggi, 42, of Missoula, was sentenced Monday to 50 years in prison for the rape of a 22-year-old woman last Sept. 7 as she walked along the Bit Bitterroot River west of town.

Pileggi pleaded guilty on April 18 to rape, aggravated kidnapping and assault. Pileggi was sentenced to 20 years for the rape, 10 each for the assault and aggravated kidnapping, and 10 more for using a weapon during the crimes. Each term was the maximum allowed under law. Harkin also designated Pileggi as a dangerous offender, which means he must serve half his sentence, less good time, before becoming eligible for parole. Weather Great Falls Tuesday, sunny and mild.

Accused of taking $1,000 in fishing tackle from a boat parked in the lot of a Great Falls tavern on May Accident victim sighted in Washington SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) The search for a daughter missing after she wandered away from an automobile accident in Montana two months ago has led a Pennsylvania couple to Washington state. "Doing something like this is really hard. It's like chasing the wind," Tom Meehan said Monday of his family's cross-country efforts to find his 37-year-old daughter, Patricia Meehan. Since she apparently walked away from an automobile accident April 20, possibly a victim of amnesia, Meehan and members of his family have checked reported sightings of their 5-foot-3 blond daughter from Minnesota to Washington state along Interstate 90.

Meehan, of Pittsburgh, said his family is uncertain where to look for his daughter, but Washington state is a likely place to start because a former boyfriend lives in, Spokane and a sister lived in Seattle until last year. During an earlier sighting, she reportedly asked a truck driver the way to Washington, Meehan said. Patricia Meehan has apparently been hitchhiking rides and has been seen at two truck stops and fast food restaurants along the I-90 corridor, Meehan said. Through photographs and videotapes, Meehan said he has been able to verify five sightings, the most recent on May 19 at Bozeman. On Monday, Meehan headed for North Bend to check out a report by two women who may have seen the missing woman last week.

The women reported seeing a woman matching Patricia Meehan's description walking on a road near North Bend. The woman, who told them that her car broke down, declined an offer of a ride, Meehan said. Meanwhile, a Tacoma man said he saw a woman matching Patricia Meehan's description at a Tacoma truck stop, asking passing motorists the way to Aberdeen. Ron Doersam, a Port of Tacoma employee, said he saw a woman matching the description near an Interstate 5 truck stop near Tacoma last week. The woman was shouting to passing motorists, asking the way to Aberdeen, Doersam said.

He said the woman asked "Where's 101?" the coast highway that passes through Aberdeen. Doersam said he told the woman to "turn right at Olympia. She wanted to know 'Is that he said. Doersam said the incident struck him as unusual because the woman was asking directions by shouting at passing motorists. "Her voice was quite loud and sharp.

I had no problem hearing her," he said. Doersam said Tacoma Police referred him to the Washington State Patrol, which told him it could do nothing because Patricia Meehan's parents had not filed a missing person complaint. Meehan lived in Bozeman the last three years, doing ranch work during the summer and odd jobs in winter, said her father, who said she had no history of running away. "She's a very good girl. She has no problems with drugs or drink," he said.

"We're a close-knit family. She had a credit card and called home frequently." Patricia Meehan is described as 5- foot-3, weighing 100-105 pounds, with strawberry blond hair past her shoulders, green-gray eyes and freckles. The fair-complexioned woman looks younger than her 37 years, he said. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and high-topped white tennis shoes when she walked into a field in Montana after being involved in a traffic accident which injured another woman. Traffic death suspect has earlier conviction BILLINGS (AP) A Laurel man convicted two years ago of killing a 15-year-old pedestrian with his vehicle was charged Monday in the weekend traffic deaths of two teenagers.

Robert Frank 20, was charged with two counts of negligent homicide for the Sunday morning deaths of two young women who were passengers in the back of a pickup truck he was driving. Renee Mildred Hegg, 18, of Park City, and Jackie Christine Garcia, 15, of Laurel, died at the scene after being thrown out when the truck missed a curve and rolled on Thiel Road about miles southeast of Laurel. In April 1987, Frank received a suspended sentence after a jury found him guilty of negligent homicide in the Aug. 19, 1986, death of Scott Hoffman, a friend of Frank's. The two and other teen-agers were on the North Laurel Road, and authorities said Frank was speeding in his car in an effort to catch another car.

Evidence at the trial indicated that Hoffman stepped out to flag down Frank and was struck by Frank's car. District Judge G. Todd Baugh placed Frank on five years' probation and ordered him to complete Water Tower pool opens Water Tower swimming pool, at 34th Street and 7th Avenue South, will open Tuesday from noon to 8 p.m., and stay open until Aug. 18.
