A number of people received a combined 37 years in probation sentences during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court Thursday.
James Snurr of Cotter was sentenced to 10 years probation. The 26-year-old Snurr admitted he had violated the terms and conditions of his probation handed down in May 2015. Among the charges against Snurr were resisting arrest and being found in possession of methamphetamine.
Lorie Osborn of Mountain Home was given an eight-years-probation sentence on drug-related charges. Police focused on the 46-year-old Osborn and her husband, Christopher, when they were found to be purchasing a large amount of pseudoephedrine–a component necessary for the production of methamphetamine. At one point, Lorie Osborn underwent a psychological examination, but was found fit-to-proceed. Her husband, Christopher, was given five years in prison on the charges.
Alexandra Neel of Gassville was sentenced to six years probation, after entering a guilty plea. The 24-year-old Neel was picked up at local convenience store, after it was reported she was acting strangely and might be under the influence of a controlled substance. Officers found methamphetamine and a glass smoking pipe.
Lisa Ann Rothman of Mountain Home was given four years probation on drug and traffic violations. The 37-year-old Rothman was arrested after police saw the car she was driving had expired license tags. The drug-related items were found in her purse.
Sierra Cory of Mountain Home was sentenced to five years probation after admitting she cashed checks not belonging to her. The owner of the checks told law officers she had not given the 19-year-old Cory permission to have, sign or cash the checks. One of the checks was cashed for $900 and the other for $700. Cory was sentenced under the provisions of Act 346, meaning if she stays out of trouble during her probation period, she can apply to the court to have her record sealed.
Stacey Ray Mooney was given four years probation, after he was found passed out in his vehicle parked at a convenience store on State Highway 5 North in Mountain Home at approximately 4:15 a.m. in October last year. Staff told law officers the man had been passed out in the car since about 1:00 a.m. Members of the store staff had tried to wake him to no avail. When law officers arrived, they were able to wake Mooney. He first told them he had come to the store to get something to eat. The 50-year-old Mooney was found to have methamphetamine in his possession.
