BUCYRUS — Jordan Partlow of Bucyrus appeared in Crawford County Common Pleas Court before Judge Sean Leuthold on Wednesday for an initial appearance on a community control violation.
In February 2018, Partlow, 31, was sentenced to 60 days in jail for disorderly conduct creating a public nuisance. He was placed on two years of probation as well.
According to his supervising officer, Eric Bohach, Partlow was arrested on April 27 in Shelby on suspicion of OVI. Bohach noted that no formal charges had been filed in the Shelby case because they are waiting for test results.
Bohach related that at 2:51 a.m. Wednesday, Partlow was pulled over in Galion and charged with driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level of .133. Partlow also tested positive for THC and was charged with possession of marijuana.
“You mean to tell me this gentleman had not been charged in Shelby yet and then went to Galion this morning and got a DUI when he knew he was coming to court on a community control violation?” Leuthold asked.
Almost unable stop himself, Partlow complained to the judge that he was not being treated well at the jail.
“They only gave me three fluid ounces of water,” Partlow said.
“I’m going to tell you right now to stop talking,” Leuthold said.
Bond was set at $50,000 and Leuthold appointed attorney Sebastian Berger to represent Partlow.
Leuthold turned to the sheriff’s deputy and said, “Make sure this gentleman gets lots of water. We don’t want him dehydrated.”
Leuthold caught Partlow’s smirk and told him, “You give me the bad eye and I’ll hold you in contempt.”
In other action, Jennifer Richards, 44, of Marysville appeared in court to answer charges that she violated the terms and conditions of her community control
According to her supervising officer, Mark “Walker” Alspach, Richard failed to report her change of address, failed to report that she had lost her job, failed to report after completing treatment at the Volunteers of America in Mansfield, and tested positive for benzodiazepines.
Richards admitted to violating the terms and conditions of her community control. She was sentenced to seven months on each of her two original violations for a total of 14 additional months in prison.
When asked if she had anything to say, Richards told the court, “I want to apologize to the court and my probation officer. I am in prison now and am in treatment.”
“You have remorse and I appreciate that. Best of luck to you,” Leuthold said.
Nichole Colley, 33, of Galion pleaded guilty to violating the terms and conditions of her community control. Cooley was placed on community control in February after pleading to two counts of trafficking and one count of possession of heroin, each fifth-degree felonies and each punishable with up to 12 months in prison.
Leuthold sentenced Cooley to the maximum penalty of 36 months in prison with the possibility of judicial release down the road. Cooley was given a report date of May 17 at 7 a.m. at the Crawford County Justice Center for transport to prison.
“Don’t do something foolish and not report. If I have to arrest you, there will be no chance at judicial release,” Leuthold said. “You’ll do the entire three years in prison.”
Sara Cole, 30, of Galion was sentenced to ten months in prison after she admitted to violating the terms and conditions of her community control. Cole was arrested by Galion police and tested positive for meth. She admitted to using the drug.
James Shope, 59, of Bucyrus will spend the next six months in jail after pleading guilty to domestic violence. Shope was arrested in March for a second domestic violence charge. The victim is his wife.
“You are flirting with prison if you come back here again. I’ve been patient and understanding with you,” Leuthold said. “You’ve been married 37 years; knock it off! If you mess up and come back here, it’s not going to go well for you.”
