A couple just cannot seem to quit seeing each other despite being ordered by a court of law to stay apart.
Alan Swim and Haley Walters both appeared in Crawford County Common Pleas Court Monday afternoon for community control violations.
Judge Sean Leuthold warned 67-year-old Swim in December that he was continuing the cycle of addiction by taking advantage of younger women addicted to drugs. When Swim pleaded guilty to abduction, a special condition of his sentence was to have no contact with Haley Walters, the woman involved in the case, or with anyone else abusing drugs.
Swim allegedly violated that condition earlier this month by having direct contact with Walters on March 6 when he allowed her to stay overnight at his residence. That next morning Walters overdosed on heroin and had to be revived with Narcan. Leuthold did commend Swim for calling the police for help.
“It was one of those cases where I gave Mr. Swim a long speech,” Leuthold said, referring to Swim as a “sugar daddy.”
“I was not very pleased with that particular situation; however, I gave Mr. Swim a break and put him on community control.”
Leuthold set bond at $250,000 and appointed Grant Garverick as Swim’s attorney.

Twenty-four-year-old Walters was given a $150,000 bond and was appointed Adam Stone as her attorney. Walters, who had been on probation for drug possession cases from 2015 and 2014, had allegations brought against her that included possessing heroin, refusing to submit to a random drug screen, and being found in the residence of a convicted felon.

Additional felonies may be pending for 23-year-old Misty Dyer, of Bucyrus, but she answered for a past felony Monday.
Dyer allegedly violated her probation when she refused to submit to a drug test and associated with three convicted felons on March 5. Dyer, who pleaded guilty to drug trafficking in December, received a $150,000 bond.

Leuthold continued Janette Moore’s sentencing hearing Monday afternoon due to the fact that she was not physically capable of going to prison due to numerous serious health issues. Leuthold continued the hearing for 90 days. Moore is expected to receive an 11-month prison sentence for trafficking and possessing drugs.
