Chernin were in court Branch 10th to requested an adjournment of her case until May 27, 2022, at 8:30a.m. for a plea and sentencing hearing. Rodriguez-Strock is expected to enter a guilty plea, no contest or continue to plea not guilty in May.
Their request for adjournment until May was granted by Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Michelle A. Havas with no objection from the State prosecutor Jessica Ann Behling, according to court records. Rodriguez-Strock pleaded not guilty in the case on November 2021, and she was expected to enter a plea on Friday to one felony count of child abuse-intentionally cause harm to her 13-year-old son, but was adjourned until next month.
Also, Rodriguez-Strock pleaded guilty on March 25, 2022 to one misdemeanor count of Opetating While Intoxicated (OWI) second offense. She was sentenced to 3 months in the House of Corrections (HOC), but her sentenced was stayed and instead had to serve ten days condition time on Huber work release during working hours and was placed on 12 months supervision (probationary). The judge revoked Rodriguez-Strock privileges to drive for 12 months and is restricted to only to drive a vehicle with an equipped Ignition Interlock Device (IID) for 15 months, according to court records.
According to the felony criminal complaint, Rodriguez-Strock on June 11, 2021, her 13-year-old son reported that his mother Rodriguez-Strock used her body to block him into his bedroom and but he was able to exit his bedroom, his mother pulled his hair and took his crutches away from him, smashed them on the ground, breaking them, and threw them across the room. Her 13-year-old son then called his father and told him what was happening. His father arrived at the Rodriguez-Strock's home to pick up his son, but Rodriguez-Strock blocked the front door. When her son attempted to unlock the front door, Rodriguez-Strock bit him in the left arm. Milwaukee police officers investigating the incident noticed a bite mark on the 13-year-old son's forearm.
Officers at the scene then spoke to Rodriguez-Strock about the bite mark and she denied biting her son and said that any marks he had must have been self-inflicted in an attempt to get her in trouble. Rodriguez-Strock did admit that she did try to block the front door when her son tried to leave her house and claimed that the bite mark on his arm may have resulted from him sticking his arm in her face when he attempted to open the door.
Her 8-year-old daughter told police that she heard a lot of shouting and seeing her mom, Rodriguez-Strock, blocking her brother when he attempted to leave out the front door. Her daughter also told police when questioned that when her brother attempted to leave out the front door, she saw her mother bit her brother in the arm, so she closed her eyes and left the room, according to the criminal complaint.
