RACINE — A former Racine County Sheriff's Office deputy has been found guilty in connection to allegations of domestic abuse and using law enforcement resources to track his wife.

Jonathan Bechman, 48, was charged in May with one count of attempting misconduct in public office (act in excess of lawful authority) and two counts of misdemeanor battery with a domestic abuse modifier.

Bechman pleaded guilty Friday to all three charges and was sentenced to six months in jail with work release and three years of probation.

He also was sentenced to 27 months in jail imposed and stayed, meaning Bechman will not serve that time unless he violates the terms of his probation.

According to a criminal complaint, Bechman's wife told Mount Pleasant investigators about two specific incidents of domestic violence and alleged there had been ongoing violence throughout their marriage.

A forensic download of Bechman's phone reportedly revealed statements in the Notes app admitting violence toward his wife.

After reporting to the police, Bechman's wife moved out of state. An RCSO employee reported that there were documents on Bechman's desk that indicated he had been using police resources to locate her.

The documents were not in connection to a criminal investigation or official duties and were against policy, the complaint said.

Bechman's wife told the court Friday that it was difficult to report her experience because of Bechman's position and that he pushed the boundaries of a restraining order to control her without technically committing a violation.

"He knows exactly how far he can go without being arrested," she said.

She asked the court to sentence Bechman to jail time.

"I lived in fear for decades and believe there must finally be consequences for what happened to me," she said.

Bechman also made a statement to the court, apologizing for his actions and noting that he is trying to work on himself.

"I'm haunted by this every day," he said.

He also addressed those in law enforcement in connection to the count of misconduct while in office.

"I betrayed your trust and our mission," Bechman said.
