SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man will have to serve seven years in state prison for his reactions to two girlfriends breaking up with him, which included using a handgun.
39 year old Rodrick Ashley was sentenced last week by Judge Timothy Van Akkeren after a jury found him guilty in November of a felon in possession of a firearm, intentionally pointing a firearm at a person, and two counts of disorderly conduct.
The criminal complaint filed against Ashley stated Sheboygan Police were called to the 900 block of Ontario Avenue July 11 to investigate a disturbance at a residence earlier that day. They talked to a woman, who claimed to have been a girlfriend of Ashley’s.
She said she confronted him about cheating on her and wanted to break up. This led to an argument between the two, which at one point led Ashley to grab a gun and point it at her.
Eventually she went to work, but had to leave early after Ashley called her there over 150 times. When she returned home, she found a bathroom sink has been broken from the wall, and believes it was Ashley that did this.
Police also talked to a second person, who also claimed to be a girlfriend of Ashley’s and wanted to break up with him over him cheating on her. She claims Ashley spat on her when they got into an argument.
When police interviewed Ashley, he said the situation on Ontario Avenue was more the fault of his girlfriend, including the damaged sink.
Following the jail time, Ashley will have to serve six years extended supervision.
