(Aggravated Misdemeanor)
DANIEL PAUL SEFCIK,
DOB: 07/29/1990,
Defendant.

o
Co
23,

3Z
O

I, the undersigned Defendant, have carefully read and fully understand the following:
O:
N D

I am charged with Count I, CRIMINAL MISCHIEF IN THE 2


DEGREE^in
violation of Iowa Code Section 716.1, 716.4(1), and 716.4(2) a Class D Felony.oln
conjunction with a Plea Agreement made with the Sac County Attorney whereby he~will
amend the charge to C R I M I N A L M I S C H I E F EN T H E THIRD D E G R E E , an
Aggravated Misdemeanor in violation of Iowa Code Section 716.1 and 716.5. I
now request that my plea of not guilty be changed to a Plea of Guilty to the amended
charge.
B. The maximum punishment for an Aggravated Misdemeanor is custody to the Director
of the Iowa Department of Correctional Services for an indeterminate term not to
exceed two years, and a fine of not more than $6,250.00 plus statutory surcharges, plus
all court costs and all costs and fees incurred for legal assistance. There is a minimum
fine of $625.00, plus a 35% surcharge in the amount of $218.75, which is immediately
due on the date of sentencing, unless a payment plan is approved by the Court within
thirty days of the Judgment entry date. In addition, if the charge is a violation of Code
Chapters 124, 155A, 453B, 713, 714, 715A, 716, or Code Sections 719.8, 725.1, 725.2
or 725.3, there is an additional Law Enforcement Initiative surcharge of $125. In
addition, I may be required to pay correctional fees for incarceration and enrollment fees
for probation. I am aware that sentencing options may include deferral of Judgment and
Sentence, the grant of probation and the suspension of the sentence imposed.
C. I understand that a criminal conviction, deferred judgment or deferred sentence may
affect my status under federal immigration laws.
D. I f l plead not guilty, I would be entitled to the following rights. I give up these rights by
pleading guilty:
(1) . The right to a speedy and public trial by a jury of twelve people.
(2) . The right to have an attorney represent me at trial and, if the Court found I was
unable to afford an attorney, the Court would, at public expense, appoint an attorney to
represent me.
(3) . At trial, I would be presumed innocent until such time, if ever; the State established
my guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
(4) . At trial, a jury verdict of guilty would have to be unanimous.

(5) . At trial, I would have the privilege against self-mcrunination, that is, I cannot be
forced to testify, and i f l choose not to testify, the State may not comment on the fact of
my failure to testify and, at my request, I would be entitled to a jury instruction stating
that the jury could not infer guilt from my failure to testify.
(6) . At trial, the State would have to confront me with witnesses upon whose testimony
it relied to obtain conviction, and I would have the right to cross examine those
witnesses.
(7) . At trial, I would be entitled to present witnesses to testify on my behalf and to
compulsory process to secure those witnesses.
E. By pleading guilty, there will not be a trial of any kind. By pleading guilty, I waive my
right to trial, and will be treated as i f l had been tried and found guilty by a jury.
F. The Court, in determining whether there is a factual basis for this plea of guilty, may
make such a determination by examining the Minutes of Testimony attached to the Trial
Information, by reviewing the investigative reports of law enforcement agents who have
investigated the offense, or by asking me or counsel to recite and summarize the
material facts that would be offered at trial.
The Court has the discretion to accept or reject any plea agreement made between the
State and myself. The plea agreement is: The County Attorney will amend Count I to
the charge of Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree and I will plead guilty to the
amended charge. The County Attorney will recommend that I be sentenced to serve
sixty (60) days in the Sac County Jail, which will be suspended, with credit for time
already served. I will be placed on Informal Probation to the Sac County Probation
Officer for a period of one vear from the Judgment date. I will pay a fine in the amount
of $625.00. plus the 35% surcharge in the amount of $218.75. the $125.00 Law
Enforcement Initiative surcharge, court appointed attorney fees, and court costs. I will
pay restitution, joint and several, in the amount of $1.700.00 to Mr. Seth Smith, through
the Clerk of Court, as filed in the Statement of Damages. Additional restitution, if any,
for the damage to the vehicle will be filed with the court within thirty days of the
Judgment entry. As part of the plea agreement, the County Attorney will recommend
dismissal of Count II of the Trial Information.
This plea agreement includes that I will be responsible to pay court costs, payment
of all costs and fees incurred for legal assistance, victim restitution, correction (jail) fee
for any jail time and all surcharges and mandatory punishments (see paragraph B)
applicable to my case.
I now state to the Court that I am, in fact GUILTY and that no threats or promises have
been made to induce me to enter my plea of guilty. I have been informed that the
elements of the crime are: Defendant did unlawfully and intentionally damage,
deface, alter, or destruct tangible property, and the cost of replacing, repairing, or
restoring the damage to the property exceeds $500.00 but does not exceed
$1000.00. 1 understand the nature of the charge against me.

G. This offense was committed by me in Sac County Iowa by my doing the following:
I did on or about the 27 day of September 2015 knowingly and without the right
to do so. damage tangible property, at the Seth Smith property at 2035 Perkins
Avenue, Nemaha, and the cost of repairing and or replacing the damaged
property exceeds $500.00 but does not exceed $1000.00.
>h

I hereby state that I submit this written plea of guilty with full knowledge and waiver ofmy
rights and I do so freely and voluntarily. No threats have been made against me to obtain
this guilty plea. No promises of leniency or favorable treatment have been made, except for
any plea bargain disclosed to the Court at the time of this guilty plea.
H. If the Court accepts my plea of guilty, I realize:
(1) . The Court will set a sentencing date not less than fifteen days after the date of its
acceptance of this guilty plea unless I waive this right. In order to contest this plea of
guilty, I must file a Motion in Arrest of Judgment at least five days prior to sentencing.
The right to file a Motion in Arrest of Judgment will be waived by having the Court
impose a sentence today.
(2) . If the Court imposes a sentence today, I will never be able to challenge this plea of
guilty, and I will be giving up my right to directly appeal my guilty plea.
I ask the Court to accept this plea of guilty. I waive the preceding rights and my right
to have the Court address me personally.
WAIVER OF MOTION IN ARREST OF JUDGMENT
If the Court accepts my plea of guilty, I wish to be sentenced now. I understand that:
1. In order to contest this plea of guilty, 1 must file a Motion in Arrest of Judgment no
later than 45 days after a plea of guilty and no later than 5 days prior to
pronouncement of judgment, and that the Court will set a sentencing date not less
than fifteen days after the date of its acceptance of this guilty plea unless I waive this
right, and the right to file a Motion in Arrest of Judgment will be waived by having
the Court impose a sentence now.
2. By having the Court impose my sentence now, I will never be able to challenge this
plea of guilty and I will be giving up my right to directly appeal my guilty plea.
I hereby request the Court sentence me now and I waive any time to which I may be
entitled for sentencing at a later date.

W A I V E R OF R I G H T T O B E PRESENT
I have been fully advised that I have a constitutional right to be present at my
sentencing and present evidence in my own behalf. I understand that it is my choice to be
present or not, and that no one can exclude me from sentencing.
With the above in mind, and further understanding that my decision whether to be
present or not is my own decision, I hereby knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to be
present at my sentencing.

deems appropriate; and
the court costs of this action.

financial obligations shall be paid in full on or before the 30th day

considered a violation of this Order and the terms of Defendants
probation. In addition, pursuant to Iowa Code Section 602.8107, a
failure to pay in full within 30 days may result in this case being
assigned to the Centralized Collection Unit of the Iowa Department

Court. In the event this matter is assigned for collection, additional
fees may be imposed pursuant to law;
b.

Defendant shall serve sixty (60) days in the county jail. This

suspended, Defendant is placed on informal probation for a period
