BUCYRUS — A Cambridge woman pleaded guilty Thursday in Crawford County Common Pleas Court to violating the terms and conditions of her community control.
Kellie Redd, 33, was originally sentenced to prison in 2013 after she pleaded guilty to two counts of trafficking in drugs, each a third-degree felony. She received 36 months on count one and 18 months on count two.
According to probation officer Mark Alspach, Redd was arrested in Cambridge on charges of conveyance of drugs into a detention facility, possession of drugs and drug abuse instruments.
Because the charges in Cambridge are still pending, Redd made a general admission to violating the terms and conditions of her probation with Crawford County.
Common Pleas Court Judge Sean Leuthold reimposed 36 months in prison. Redd will receive jail time credit. Leuthold said he would not oppose transitional control if the prison requested it.
In other court action, Michelle Holt-Kyser, 48, of Marion pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of drugs, each a fifth-degree felony and each punishable with up to 12 months in prison. In a plea negotiation, Holt-Kyser was sentenced to six months in prison on each count. The sentences will run concurrently for a total of six months in prison. She will receive 44 days of jail time credit.
Chase Cole, 23, of Bucyrus pleaded guilty to violating the terms and conditions of his community control. In May 2018, Cole pled guilty to two counts of forgery and one count of theft, each fifth degree felonies and each punishable with up to 12 months in prison.
He was placed on five years of community control. In August of 2018 he was sent to prison and granted judicial release into a community based correctional facility in August 2019.
According to probation officer Dan Wurm, Cole was taken to the hospital after staff saw signs of a possible overdose. Cole later admitted to using K-2 and was terminated from the facility.
Leuthold reimposed 12 months in prison on each count for a total of 36 months in prison. Cole will receive credit for jail time and time spent in the community-based correctional facility.
