## Resource

A repeat offender with a long criminal history, William Michael Pope, 45, is back in court facing a new felony theft charge for allegedly stealing over $1,500 in sterling silverware—just months after being convicted of aggravated assault with no sentencing yet. His earlier plea deal erased gun charges and dropped other felonies, with the state recommending probation despite his extensive record. Released from prison last May, Pope now has a public defender handling both cases, is out on $5,000 bond with strict conditions, and his next court date is July 7th. Complicating matters, his arrest affidavit is sealed by a judge citing safety and ongoing investigations—leaving the whole case shrouded in mystery.
