GREENVILLE — Six people appeared in Darke County Common Pleas Court on Monday. Judge Jonathan P. Hein presided.
Eric Holder, 37, of Union City, was sentenced to 9 months incarceration with the ODRC, with 10 days jail time credited. This sentence relates to a charge that Holder previously pleaded guilty to which cites attempted felonious assault, a third-degree felony. Holder, along with another man, was arrested July 17, 2020, following an incident in which the two men assaulted a third man at a South Stateline Road residence. The victim suffered a broken arm during the assault. Holder also has a mandatory three year post release control period when he gets out of prison.
Justin Thobe, 36, of West Manchester, was sentenced to seven days jail time, with two days credited, and to community control sanctions for a period of up to 60 months. The sentence relates to a domestic violence charge that Thobe previously pleaded guilty to. He was ordered to complete all the necessary treatment recommendations, including anger management and drug abuse programs, and to maintain employment. If he fails to comply with these orders, he faces up to 10 months in prison.
Jeremy Clarkson, 31, of Dayton, was sentenced to 31 days in jail with 31 credited, and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $924.28 on a one count indictment citing grand theft of a motor vehicle, a fourth-degree felony. This sentence directly followed a plea agreement in which another count of grand theft of a motor vehicle was dropped, along with one count of unauthorized use of a vehicle, and one count of receiving stolen property. Clarkson is currently incarcerated with the ODRC for previous criminal convictions in Miami County.
