A Beloit man fails his second chance and is headed to prison.
When 20-year-old Mar’Kai Payne pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child in 2019, Rock County Judge John Wood withheld sentencing and placed him on probation.
Payne violated that probation and had the felony hold-open agreement revoked.
On Friday, Judge Wood sentenced him to six years in prison followed by six years of extended supervision.
He was first charged in March of 2018 after a 15-year-old victim told police that Payne, Tre’roryon Floyd and Brandon Perry all sexually assaulted her at a home during their lunch period from Beloit Memorial High School.
In September, Payne was arrested and charged with felony fleeing after leading police on a high speed chase in Milwaukee.
Assistant District Attorney Scott Dirks said Payne was also caught with marijuana in the Rock County Jail.
