A Wilmington man who entered an agreement in the Hillsboro Municipal Court on Friday must return to court in January to review a 60-day jail sentence on a probation violation.
The Times-Gazette previously reported that Stanley Lamb, 32, was charged with first-degree misdemeanor assault following an alleged altercation earlier this month.
After he was arraigned, Lamb appeared the following Monday on a new charge for driving on a suspension. At that time, his bond was set at $50,000, as previously reported.
On Thursday, Lamb pled guilty to an amended and reduced charge of fourth-degree misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Nineteen days of a 30-day jail sentence were suspended. Lamb was given credit for 11 days. A $250 fine was also suspended. Lamb must obtain counseling from FRS.
The driving on a suspension charge was dismissed after Hillsboro Municipal Court Acting Judge Susan Zurface ran Lamb’s driving record and found that he has since become valid.
Lamb was also found guilty of a probation violation on a 2011 conviction for obstructing official business. A 60-day jail sentence is set to be reviewed in January, according to court records. His probation was extended for three years.
Also on Friday, a bond was set for Kimberly Long, 45, Hillsboro.
She appeared on a charge of first-degree misdemeanor telephone harassment.
Records showed that Long previously entered an agreement in July on a different charge and pled guilty to third-degree misdemeanor criminal mischief.
According to the court, Hillsboro Municipal Court Judge David H. McKenna recused himself from that case. Judge Robert J. Judkins presided over it, the court added, and he will also preside over Long’s most recent case.
A plea of not guilty was entered on Long’s behalf. Her bond is set at $5,000 on that case. On her prior case, Long’s “bond was revoked … pending (a) hearing” on Tuesday, records stated.
In other cases:
• Jeff Garen, 47, Hillsboro, was arraigned on first-degree misdemeanor driving without consent. An affidavit filed with the court stated that Garen was charged after a relative came to the Highland County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday to report that Garen had “stolen her 1999 Chevy S-10 truck from her home.” Garen had allegedly been told previously that he “did not have permission to use or drive the truck ever,” the affidavit added. According to records, a pretrial in Garen’s case scheduled for next month. His bond is set at his own recognizance (OR). While his case is pending, Garen is ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim and is to observe a curfew. He is prohibited from driving, records showed.
