MERCER COUNTY Court action

These people were sentenced last week by Judge Thomas Dobson of Mercer County Common Pleas Court:

Prince Butler, 21, of Parke Drive, Hermitage, placed on 15 months’ probation for receiving stolen property and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors. On Feb. 23, 2005, he tried to sell a PlayStation2 stolen from a Spearman Avenue, Farrell, address. He also threatened an officer from the Southwest Mercer County Regional Police Department at district court offices in Farrell on Sept. 6, 2006.
Jeffrey Hall, 23, of Conneaut Lake, sentenced to one to two years in the state correctional facility for theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property, both felonies. He was also ordered to make restitution. On July 21, 2005, Hall pumped $40 worth of gasoline at Fergie’s Bait and Tackle Store, New Vernon, then drove off without paying. On the same day, he took a 1994 Ford truck belonging to another man from a Hadley Road address, with no intention of returning it, and also took a propane tank, a vehicle transmission and a lawn mower from a Cherry Hill Road, Salem Township, residence.
Jeremy Humphrey, 25, of East Main Street Extension, Grove City, placed on 18 months’ probation for unsworn falsification to authorities, a misdemeanor. On June 28, 2006, he conspired with another man to commit insurance fraud and made a written false statement to an officer of the court at the borough of Mercer offices on South Pitt Street Extension. The statement dealt with a claim he made to a Pittsburgh insurance company that he was the driver of a motor vehicle in an accident June 15, 2006. He later admitted another man was the driver.
Alex Merchant, 20, of Sharon, placed on 18 months’ probation and ordered to make restitution for felony criminal trespass. On Sept. 25, 2005, he broke into Pizza Joe’s, 52 S. Water Ave., Sharon, by breaking out a window in the door.
Quinton Mosley, 21, of Connelly Boulevard, Sharon, resentenced to 156 days to two years in jail for receiving stolen property, a felony. Mosley had been placed on two years’ probation in August 2005, but his probation was revoked and the jail time imposed because he pleaded guilty to new criminal charges.
