Hagedorn finds defendant is entitled to sentence credit for 433 days he spent in a county jail on charges related to stealing three trucks in the span of two hours and leading a police chase into a neighboring county, where he faced similar charges in a separate case that was ultimately consolidated with his other case while he was in jail. Under Wisconsin Supreme Court precedent, defendant is entitled to sentence credit for all of five charges that were dismissed and read in when he pleaded no contest to three other charges, including a charge from the neighboring county for which he was technically freed on a signature bond even though he remained jailed in the other county on a $10,000 cash bond that he did not pay. When defendant violated probation terms of his original withheld five-year sentence and was sentenced to 18 months of confinement, the circuit court properly awarded him 433 days' sentence credit for all three dismissed and read-in charges stemming from both counties, and the court of appeals incorrectly overturned the circuit court upon appeal.
