Crawford County Common Pleas Court Judge Sean Leuthold had misgivings when he placed Holly Dameron on community control last April and they proved true Tuesday afternoon.
The 34-year-old Galion woman pleaded guilty to felony 4 theft and admitted to violating her community control in two other cases. Leuthold sentenced Dameron to six months in prison, which will be served consecutively to the 12-month prison sentences he handed down for the parole violations in the two older cases. The three sentences will be combined for a total of 30 months in prison.
Dameron admitted to violating her parole when she stopped reporting to her supervising officer on Sept. 8 and tested positive for cocaine on multiple occasions.
“I hope you get your act together,” Leuthold said to Dameron. “You’ve got to get serious about this.”
“I know,” Dameron said.

Christopher Fawley knew exactly why he was going to prison and, though he seemed defeated through his court hearing, he accepted the actions that got him there.
Thirty-seven-year-old Fawley admitted to violating his community control with a positive urinalysis for cocaine, using heroin, and possessing and consuming beer.
“I’m not yelling at you, Chris. There’s not time for this,” Leuthold said. “I’m worried you’re going to be dead.”
“I screwed up,” admitted Fawley, who graduated from the court’s Intensive Supervision and Treatment program in July. “I appreciate everything you’ve done for me.”
Though the agreed sentence was 12 months in prison, Leuthold amended it to 11 months. A possession charge that came from the parole officer’s investigation into the violations was dismissed.
“Chris, just stay alive, man,” Leuthold pleaded as Fawley prepared to leave the courtroom. “Just stay alive.”

Twenty-one-year-old Luke Vossers was given a $100,000 bond on allegations that he violated his community control by operating a motor vehicle under the influence and consuming alcohol. Vossers denied the allegation.
Vossers pleaded guilty to burglary, a second-degree felony in 2015 and served just over nine months of his four-year prison sentence before receiving judicial release.
