NEW PHILADELPHIA A 35-year-old Dover man implicated in a series of thefts from storage units has been found guilty in three cases.
Brian L. Smith, Jr., pleaded no contest to charges of receiving stolen property, criminal mischief, breaking and entering, theft, grand theft of a firearm, and forgery on Dec. 15. Tuscarawas County Common Pleas Judge Edward O Farrell then found him guilty.
The judge gave Smith credit for seven months spent in the Tuscarawas County jail, where he remains. He ordered restitution of $6,350 be paid to one man, and $134 be paid to the Heritage Country Store, 1062 W. High Ave.
Sentencing on charges in eight additional cases is scheduled for Jan. 19 before Tuscarawas County Common Pleas Judge Elizabeth Lehigh Thomakos.
