Probation revoked: Grantsburg man sentenced to 7 months in Burnett County court
CRIMEA Burnett County judge revoked a Grantsburg man's probation Tuesday morning and sentenced him to seven months in the county jail, with credit for 113 days already served.
Jordan James Gaffney, 21, appeared before Judge Melissia Mogen for a sentencing hearing after revocation in case 2025CM000105. The court reviewed the revocation packet, the parties stipulated to 113 days of jail credit, and Gaffney addressed the court before sentence was imposed.
The state asked for nine months; the defense asked for six. The court revoked the probation and imposed seven months, with Huber release available only through a separate motion with proof of employment.
"I don't want to keep seeing you in orange in that seat," Judge Mogen told him. "I wanted to see you go to college, and I wanted to see you run and I wanted to see you get your degree. I still want that. Don't let go of that, Mr. Gaffney."
Gaffney pleaded guilty in October 2025 to resisting or obstructing an officer and received one year of probation with a withheld sentence, credit for 18 days in jail, and $500 in court costs, fines and fees. Counts of battery and possession of THC were dismissed but read in, along with a companion case.
His probation conditions included absolute sobriety and regular drug testing, with seven days of conditional jail ordered for a positive test. At a review hearing in July 2026, after his probation agent reported violations, the court ordered seven days in jail immediately.
