Two people will not be spending the Thanksgiving holiday at home this year following their appearances in Crawford County Common Pleas Court on Monday.
Mindy Prosser didn’t avoid the felony conviction as she and the court had hoped when she was placed on the intervention in lieu of conviction program. But hope does remain she will get the help she needs through a Columbus in-patient program for substance abuse.
Prosser, who had earlier been found guilty of violating the terms of intervention and formally convicted of drug possession, was sentenced by Judge Russell Wiseman during a brief hearing. The 21-year-old Galion woman was placed on community control for three years and will be taken to the Alvis House in Columbus.
Prosser was also given the mandatory $1,250 drug fine and had her driver’s license suspended for six months.
Likewise, Forrest Osborne Jr.’s Thanksgiving meal will be served away from his home in Willard. The 25-year-old Osborne was sentenced to 30 days in the Crawford County Justice Center on Monday by Wiseman during a hearing charging him with violating terms of his community control.
Osborne admitted to the violations on multiple counts, one of which was not getting involved with a substance abuse program. He will remain on community control once he serves his jail sentence.
Osborne was placed on community control following felony five convictions for receiving stolen property and drug possession.
