A few defendants passing through the Crawford County Common Pleas Court on Thursday were given a shot at turning their lives around.
Joshua Miller was sentenced to five years community control under the conditions that he completes a drug and alcohol program. Miller has been appointed for ISAT treatment at Maryhaven beginning May 1. He was also ordered to pay the mandatory $1,250 drug fine.
“You have had many times to straighten your life up,” Judge Sean Leuthold said to Miller. “You have showed little care for society. You committed a felony, you are 24 but from what I’ve seen of you act like you are 10. Because you are a first time offender I can’t send you to prison even though all factors say I should. This is no longer a game; it is time to act like an adult.”
Khristin Sharp pleaded guilty to fourth-degree felony charges of receiving stolen property as well as trafficking drugs. Judge Leuthold order Sharp to five years of community control with successful treatment in a drug and alcohol program. Sharp was released with the stipulation that she be drug tested daily for 30 days, and could be eligible for the ISAT program.
