Court records show that 31-year-old Jaharrie Jelks was in court on Wednesday for what was initially set as the first of a two-day jury trial for his alleged involvement in a December 2024 stabbing in Green Bay.
Jelks is still facing the following charges, with possible punishments listed for each (if he were to be convicted):
- Attempted First-Degree Intentional Homicide – Repeater, Use of a Dangerous Weapon
- Class B Felony – Up to 60 years in prison
- False Imprisonment – Repeater, Use of a Dangerous Weapon
- Class H Felony – Up to six years in prison and/or $10,000 fine
- Disorderly Conduct – Repeater, Use of a Dangerous Weapon
- Class B Misdemeanor – Up to 90 days in prison and/or $1,000 fine
- Bail Jumping – Repeater
- Class A Misdemeanor – Up to nine months in prison and/or $10,000 fine
- Driving or Operating a Vehicle Without Owner’s Consent – Repeater
- Class I Felony – Up to 3.5 years in prison and/or $10,000 fine
- Armed Robbery with Threat of Force– Repeater
- Class C Felony – Up to 40 years in prison and/or $100,000 in fines
Should Jelks be convicted, state law says that repeater modifiers could add up to years in prison per charge and that the dangerous weapon charge could increase a sentence by up to five years.
The case against Jelks had been dismissed without prejudice, but prosecutors quickly refiled the charges in mid-July of 2025…
