IRONTON â A South Point man was sentenced to nine months in prison during a hearing in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court earlier this week for violating community control sanctions.
Judge Andy Ballard sentenced Joshua M. Hay, 24, of Township Road 1336, South Point, to prison. A drug charge against Hay was dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
In an unrelated case, Ballard increased the bond for Krystal D. Lawless, 32, of Tarpin Ridge, Catlettsburg, from a $10,000 signature bond to $150,000 after she failed to show up for a court appearance. Another pretrial was set for Aug. 4.
In other cases:
Lyle R. Keeney, 42, of Township Road 1273, Chesapeake, pleaded not guilty to two counts of aggravated trafficking in meth and possession of a compound containing fentanyl. Bond was set at $5,000 and he was ordered to get treatment while the case is pending.
IRONTON — A Lawrence County grand jury returned several dozen indictments Wednesday, including three sealed drug indictments, according to Prosecuting Attorney Brigham Anderson.
