One of the defendants involved in a controversial drug raid in Montgomery County pleaded no contest Wednesday to a misdemeanor peace disturbance charge, according to court records. Dion E. Wilson, an officer with the Lake St. Louis Police Department, entered an Alford plea, which means he did not plead guilty to the charge, but acknowledged that prosecutors had enough evidence to win a conviction at trial. Sentencing was handed down by Judge Wes Dalton, presiding circuit judge of the 12th Judicial Circuit. Wilson was placed on probation for one year and he was ordered to perform 40 hours of community service. Additionally, he must take 15 days' unpaid leave from the Lake St. Louis Police Department and have no unlawful contact with the victim in the case, Philip Alberternst. Wilson was ordered to pay all costs associated with his case. The case was originally scheduled to be heard in Montgomery County Circuit Court, but it was moved to Audrain County Circuit Court on a change of venue request.
