Collin Daniel Richards, 20, of Bayard was sentenced to 60 days in jail after he pleaded guilty to a charge of domestic abuse assault causing bodily injury.

Anthony Charles Kennedy, 33, of Jefferson was sentenced to two years in prison after he changed his plea to guilty to a charge of eluding, and to 365 days in jail after he changed his plea to guilty to a charge of operating while intoxicated-first offense. The prison term and jail time are to be served consecutively, but concurrent to a prison sentence in a 2014 Greene County case in which Kennedy pleaded guilty to a charge of assault on a peace officer. Kennedy was fined $625 with a $218.75 surcharge on the eluding charge; both were suspended. He was fined $1,250 with a $437.50 surcharge and a $10 DARE (drug abuse resistance education) surcharge on the OWI charge. He must pay restitution for his court appointed attorney’s fees to be determined and $100 court costs. A magistrate case in which Kennedy was charged with interference with official acts was dismissed. (Sentencing: Kester)
