MERCER, Pa. -- A common pleas court judge sentenced a local man to six months to two years in prison for burglarizing a neighbor's residence.
Judge Francis Fornelli sentenced Timothy Stinedurf, 19, of the Willow Bend Trailer Park, Bend Road, Lackawannock Township, to the term Friday for felony burglary.
On Oct. 22, 2003, Stinedurf entered a neighbor's trailer and took $565 worth of items including PlayStation games, DVDs, CDs and a sword, court documents say. He was given 15 days' credit for time served.
Brian Ondic, 23, who is the Lawrence County jail, was sentenced to six to 15 months in Mercer County jail for a variety of crimes he committed Aug. 9 in Sharon.
Court documents say Ondic broke into a Sharon residence on Fourth Street, threatened to kill three women and tried to punch one of them in the face.
When police arrested him, he made disparaging statements about the arresting officer's mother and resisted being handcuffed. Officers said they had to use pepper spray and a stun gun to subdue him.
He also damaged the inside of a Sharon police car by kicking on the windows and spitting over the doors and seats.
Once at the police station, he banged his head on a sink and wall and kicked a holding cell door.
He pleaded guilty to defiant trespass, simple assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, all misdemeanors. He was given 212 days' credit for time served.
Women's cases
Two women also were sentenced Friday:
UTarah Thompson, 21, of Cyrus Avenue, Hubbard, was sentenced to 18 months to four years in prison for access device fraud and forgery, both misdemeanors. On May 20, court documents say, she used another woman's credit card without permission to make $228 in purchases at businesses in Farrell, Hermitage and West Middlesex. The same day, she stole another woman's checkbook and forged a check on the account and tried to pass it at Shop 'N' Save, 2199 E. State St., Hermitage.
U Rose Askins, 42, of Roemer Boulevard, Farrell, was placed on one year's probation for simple assault, a misdemeanor. On June 11, she hit and shoved another woman at a Sharon residence on Buhl Court. She also broke several items belonging to the woman, court documents say.
