Former Bashara handyman gets in trouble in prison – over horseshoes

Joseph Gentz, who is serving prison time in the killing of a Grosse Pointe Park woman, was accused of threatening behavior and disobeying an order in prison, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections.

Gentz who has said he killed Jane Bashara at the direction of her husband, Bob Bashara pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 17-28 years in prison. Bashara, who has maintained his innocence, is charged with first-degree murder in his wifes death.

According to a misconduct report, Gentz came out of an equipment shed at the Macomb Correctional Facility on Oct. 8 with four horseshoes and said, Im taking these back to my room.

An officer told Gentz to stop and put the horseshoes on the ground, the report says. But, according to the report, Gentz turned and, with the horseshoes in his hand began talking in a very loud, aggitated [sic]voice that he wanted his i.d., which he said kept being taken from him.

The report says the officer again told Gentz to put the horseshoes down, but Gentz did not comply.

The reporting staff member wrote that Gentz was acting erratically and I did feel in danger for myself & other staff & prisoners around.

That wasnt the first time Gentz has been in trouble in prison. According to a misconduct report, in March 2013 he defied an order to go back to his prison cell.
