BURNETT COUNTY -- Jesse Stener, of Siren, WI, did not appear for his recent hearing in Burnett County Circuit Court and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Charges were filed against Stener in Burnett County Circuit Court following investigations into multiple Burnett County burglaries in August 2016.
According to 2 criminal complaints filed against Stener, he was involved in the burglaries of a residence on Long Lake Road, 4th Avenue South, the Syren General Store, and the Chattering Squirrel. Items stolen included an AR-15 Rifle, a Remington 12 gauge shotgun, laptop computers, cameras, several items of jewelry, binoculars, collector coins, and cash, and many other items. The value of the stolen items is estimated at over $5,000. Some of the items were recovered during the investigation according to the criminal complaints. Damages incurred during the burglaries were estimated in excess of $10,000.
The Burnett County Sheriff's Office issued a press release on August 29, 2016, regarding the Burglaries.
On September 15, 2016, DrydenWire reported that charges had been filed against both Stener and Rose Peloquin, also of Siren, WI (see below).
The criminal complaints state that Peloquin had marijuana on her person at the time she was placed under arrest. Peloquin also reportedly told the investigating officers that Stener told her he had stolen laptops from the Shops at the Lodge.

Rose Peloquin plead guilty on May 26, 2017 to a charge of Misdemeanor Receiving or Concealing Stolen Property stemming from these incidents. She was also charged with Class I Felony Criminal Damage to Property, Class I Felony Theft, and Misdemeanor Possession of Marijuana, but those charges were dismissed and read in by the Court for consideration in her sentencing. Additionally, she is under a Deferred Agreement regarding a charge of Class F Felony Burglary of a Building or Dwelling. Public record indicates that a second criminal complaint was filed against Peloquin on August 2, 2017, charging her with Misdemeanor Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. The details of that case are not known to DrydenWire.com at this time.
Pursuant to the direction of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as found in Supreme Court Rule 20:3.6, Trial Publicly, you are advised that a charge is merely an accusation and that a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
