While Andrew Obregon remains jailed on 32 criminal charges, his mother was placed on probation for a year last week for her role in helping the alleged murder suspect.
Susan Obregon, 60, originally charged with two felony counts of harboring a felon and a misdemeanor charge of obstructing an officer during her son’s 22-day crime spree, had two charges dismissed in Kenosha County Circuit Court last Wednesday.
According to court records Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Wilk withheld a sentence and placed Susan Obregon on probation. If his order is revoked in the future and a jail sentence is handed down, Obregon would be given credit for the 55 days she already served in the county jail.
According to the criminal complaint, Kenosha County authorities arrived at Obregon’s Bristol residence on Oct. 2, after Andrew Obregon led them in a high-speed pursuit.
Susan Obregon was taken into custody and waived her constitutional rights, stating, “Andrew had called her asking for money.”
However, she later admitted she gave her son $100 on two occasions, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, at the Old Country Store in the Town of Paris.
On both occasions, her son was an accused suspect in the slaying of 37-year-old Tywon Anderson of Kenosha, whose remains were in found in a Paris cornfield on the 144400 block of County Road A in the Town of Paris Sept. 26.
“(She) admitted that she knew Andrew was wanted by the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department and willingly met up on both occasions to give him cash,” the complaint stated.
The 60-year-old Bristol woman said she did not initially report any of these contacts to the police “because he is her son,” the complaint alleges.
After Susan Obregon was jailed, her son continued his spree, which allegedly include theft of multiple vehicles and two convenience store robberies.
Conditions of Susan Obregon’s probation are not to possess/consume alcoholic beverages, or controlled substances, unless prescribed.
