The following hearings were recently held in Pocahontas County Circuit Court:
Angela Turner, 49, of Marlinton, appeared for a sentencing hearing wherein defense counsel asked for the alternative sentencing of home confinement. The Court will not consider home incarceration based on the defendant’s criminal history. The defendant pleaded guilty to driving while license revoked for driving under the influence of alcohol, third offense. Turner was sentenced to not less than one year nor more than three years in the state penitentiary and was fined $3,000 and court costs were assessed. Turner will be referred to the GOALS program, and if placed in the program, defense counsel may file for a modification of sentence. Turner was remanded to custody.
James Tyree III, 69, of Marlinton, waived his right to an extradition hearing and will voluntarily return to authorities in Larimer County, Colorado.
Kristina Shingleton, 53, of St. Albans, tendered a written plea agreement to the court wherein she pleaded guilty to the felony offense of attempted delivery of a controlled substance to a correctional facility. The court ordered a pre-sentence investigation report from the probation department before the plea agreement will be accepted.
