BUCYRUS — A Galion man was sentenced to eight months in prison after pleading guilty to a theft charge in Crawford County Common Pleas Court last week.
Brian D. Byers, 33, pleaded guilty to the fifth-degree felony charge in exchange for another fifth-degree felony charge of receiving stolen property to be dismissed as part of his agreement with prosecutors. A misdemeanor charge of theft was also dismissed.
A Galion man who was arrested by Galion police after a search of his Southern Avenue residence in November was saved from prison time because he is a first-time offender.
Daniel C. Donohue, 37, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony, and was sentenced to 100 days in the county jail and five years of community control.
Investigating officers seized 23 bindles of heroin, a syringe loaded with suspected heroin and several other drug paraphernalia instruments during the search of Donohue’s residence.
Donohue must also pay a $2,500 fine.
A Galion man pleaded guilty to one count of domestic violence, a third-degree felony.
Timothy A. Woods, 42, also admitted to violating the terms of his probation from a 2013 conviction of criminal non-support. Judge Sean Leuthold sentenced Woods to one year in prison on the domestic violence charge and another year on the original conviction of non-support. The sentences are to run consecutively for a total of two years in prison for Woods.
