Sometimes it’s best to listen before speaking and Nicholas McIntyre may have learned that lesson Monday afternoon. The twenty-year-old McIntyre appeared in Crawford County Common Pleas Court for community control violations but he decided he wouldn’t let Judge Russell Wiseman finish before asking any questions.
Things started off rocky when McIntyre interrupted Wiseman in the first few minutes of reviewing his case and it just went downhill from there.
McIntyre had pleaded guilty to a felony four theft and felony five drug possession in January and was sentenced to three years on probation. During June, McIntyre was convicted of violating a protection order and was alleged to have failed to report to his supervising officer, refused to report to his supervising officer, and refused to submit to a drug test.
McIntyre questioned Wiseman on whether he would receive prison or county jail time if he pleaded guilty to the violations. Wiseman told McIntyre he could receive county jail time, prison time or be returned to community control but he wouldn’t state his decision until McIntyre made his.
When Wiseman moved ahead to appoint a court-appointed attorney to McIntyre, the Bucyrus man then asked if he could request a court-appointed attorney. Wiseman denied the request and appointed Jack Felgenhauer as his counsel.
McIntyre’s bond had started out at $25,000 but due to his numerous violations and other aspects, it quickly jumped up to $75,000.
McIntyre’s case was continued.
Kari Eulett, 30, of Bucyrus, pleaded guilty to a felony three burglary charge in Crawford County Common Pleas Court Monday afternoon. She admitted to trespassing at an occupied structure on Knauss Road in Bucyrus on March 27, 2012 with the purpose to commit a criminal offense.
Eulett could face a maximum penalty of 36 months in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The prosecutor and defense had not come up with an agreed sentence at the time of Eulett’s hearing but did agree to dismiss two other cases, a felony five theft from 2012 and a felony five drug possession charge. Judge Wiseman referred the burglary case back to the Adult Probation Department for a pre-sentence investigation.
Eulett’s case was continued for sentencing.
Mickie Williams, of Mansfield, was arraigned in court on a felony three theft charge stemming from November 2011. Wiseman appointed Shane Leuthold as Williams’ attorney and released Williams on a personal recognizance bond. The case was continued for a pre-trial hearing.
