GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — Marcelia Dolores Flora Fonseca is back in custody as of Thursday afternoon, September 19, after being charged for allegedly resisting and/or obstructing an officer and violating her parole.
Fonseca was sentenced last Friday, September 13 for the death of her nephew in a house fire. She pleaded no contest and was ordered to spend four years in prison with five years extended supervision. However, Fonseca had already served prison time, and as a result, she was released under probation following the hearing on Friday.
According to a criminal complaint, on Thursday, September 19, officers with the City of De Pere Police Department were called to assist the DOC in taking Fonseca into custody, as there was a warrant in the system for her arrest because of a parole violation.
Fonseca immediately began resisting officers and questioned the reason for her arrest multiple times. She refused to follow instructions from officers and was physically restrained to be properly handcuffed, even after being told about the warrant and the disturbance, according to the complaint.
The complaint states the warrant was related to a disturbance Fonseca had been involved in the previous week, but doesn't specify what kind of disturbance.
