Cutrell faces a standard range, with an offender score of one, of 3-8 months in jail for each count.
The Pacific County Prosecutor’s Office is recommending that he be sentenced to eight months on each count, which would run concurrently. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 1.
Markus G. Stigall, 36 — It has been two months since he caused quite a stir in Raymond after his ex-wife called 911, reporting he was driving around her home and potentially armed.
He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of harassment and a felony violation of a protection order.
According to court records, Stigall is facing a standard range, with an offender score of seven, of 0-364 days in jail for the misdemeanor count and 51-60 months for the felony count. The prosecutor’s office is not recommending a specific sentence within the standard range.
Court records show that Stigall, through his indigent defense attorney Jacob Clark, is seeking a Mental Health Sentencing Alternative (MHSA) that could reduce or eliminate his sentence. In this case, he must undergo specific treatment and abide by stringent requirements.
The court ordered the Washington State Department of Corrections to complete the MHSA report, which will be heard during his sentencing that is scheduled for Nov. 15.
