A Bainbridge man was sentenced to 17 months in prison while a Hillsboro man was given three years of community control during sentencings Thursday afternoon in Highland County Common Pleas Court.
Tres Presley Genco, 20, Bainbridge, was given 17 months imprisonment with 224 days credit for time already served, following his conviction on a fourth-degree felony charge of attempting to make a terroristic threat while in possession of a weapon in commission of the crime, and a forfeiture specification.
The court’s judgment entry of confinement stated that after completion of his prison term, the court would consider granting occupational driving privileges providing Genco showed proof of financial responsibility.
It ordered that Genco’s 2009 Audi TT automobile to be titled to the Highland County commissioners as a forfeiture specification in his two-count conviction.

Records showed that he entered a guilty plea to the charges on Sept. 17.
