BUCYRUS—Christopher Sprague, 45, of Marion pleaded guilty to violating his community control on Monday in the Crawford County Common Pleas Court.
Sprague was placed on community control in September after he pleaded guilty to one count of criminal nonsupport, a felony of the fifth degree punishable with up to 12 months in prison.
According to probation officer Kylie Sinclair, Sprague is under investigation for new crimes committed in another county. Between January of 2020 and March of 2021, Sprague is accused of pandering material involving a minor or disabled person in sexual activity.
Sprague entered a general admission to the violation without admitting guilt regarding new allegations that are not yet charged. Crawford County Common Pleas Court Judge Sean Leuthold accepted the general admission and sentenced Sprague to nine months in prison on the Crawford County violation.
Amanda Perkins, 35, of Columbus pleaded guilty to violating the terms and conditions of her community control.
Perkins was sentenced to three years of community control in June after she pleaded guilty to one count of theft and one count of forgery, each fifth-degree felonies and each punishable with up to 12 months in prison. Perkins was also ordered to pay restitution to the victims of Crossways Assembly of God Church in the amount of $2307.50.
In an agreed plea negotiation, Judge Leuthold sentenced Perkins to 6 months in prison on each count to run concurrently for a total of six months in prison.
Joseph Will, 41, of Bucyrus appeared via video from the Crawford County Jail to answer to a community control violation.
Will was placed on community control in February after he pleaded guilty to felony non-support, a felony of the fifth degree punishable with up to 12 months in prison.
According to allegations, Will overdosed on April 11th causing emergency personnel to administer three shots of Narcan. He was also in possession of two syringes, a glass pipe, and a straw. He refused a urine drug screen as well.
Will was agitated, using profanities and demanding to represent himself in court.
Judge Leuthold noted that Will seemed to be suffering from mental health issues possibly related to the overdose.
“I am going to appoint you an attorney so that you can be represented and your rights protected. Discuss with your attorney your desire to represent yourself and we will take that issue up at the Pretrial.“ Leuthold said.
Leuthold appointed attorney Jerry Thompson to represent him and set the matter for a full hearing. Bond was set at $5000.00.
