Third Person Sentenced in Charles City Halloween 2021 Beating

All three subjects arrested for beating a victim Halloween night last year in Charles City have now been sentenced for their roles in the incident.

Charles City Police arrested Michelle Keagle along with Brandon and Zachary Starkey, all of Charles City, after they were accused of attacking someone in Charles City on October 31, 2021.  Investigators say what started as an argument between intoxicated friends left the victim with a severe cut to the left eyebrow, a left orbital fracture, and left orbital muscle damage.

This week, Keagle, now 32, was given three years of supervised probation, fined $430, and ordered to pay restitution after pleading guilty to felony and serious misdemeanor counts of willful injury causing bodily injury.

Brandon and Zachary Starkey, now both 29, previously pleaded guilty to willful injury and domestic abuse assault causing bodily injury.  Zachary Starkey was ordered to spend 30 days in jail, three to five years of supervised probation, and pay a $430 fine.  Brandon Starkey was sentenced to five years of supervised probation and fined $430.  

Court records show that Brandon Starkey is facing a probation revocation hearing next month after he failed to meet conditions of his probation, including being arrested for OWI second offense October 22nd in Cerro Gordo County.
