Burglary, breaking and entering, and eluding a police officer were among the charges considered Wednesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court.

Nathan Jenkins, 18, of 255 Township Road 277, Ironton, pleaded guilty to a bill of information Wednesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court to one count of attempt to commit failure to comply with the order and signal of a police officer. He had originally been charged with failure to comply with the order and signal of a police officer but the charge was later amended. Judge Charles Cooper sentenced him to four years community controlled sanctions under intensive supervised probation (CCS/ISP) and ordered him to successfully complete a rehabilitation program at the STAR Criminal Justice Center. He was given credit for time served in jail awaiting resolution of his case.

“Mr. Jenkins is a young, young man and he did something stupid,” his attorney, Derick Fisher said. He has an issue but he hopes to go to STAR and take care of it.”

Jenkins was arrested April 9 in Ironton after a brief pursuit by an Ironton police officer.

In other matters, Jessica Withrow, 23, of 219 N. Sixth St., Ironton, pleaded guilty to one count of burglary. She will be sentenced May 21.

Wilbur Stapleton, 21, of 303 Township Road 290, Ironton, pleaded guilty on a bill of information to one count of breaking and entering. Judge D. Scott Bowling sentenced Stapleton to 60 days in the Lawrence County Jail and four years CCS but gave him credit for time served in jail awaiting resolution of his case.

David Nance, 28, of 422 Mill St., Ironton, was arraigned on two counts of criminal non-support, one a felony and the other a misdemeanor. He pleaded not guilty through his attorney, Philip Heald, who asked that his client be released on an own recognizance (OR) bond given that he is a county resident, not a flight risk and given the circumstances of the case.

“I believe when we return to court there will be information in support of Mr. Nance to put the matter in perspective,” Heald said.

Assistant Lawrence County Prosecutor Brigham Anderson said Nance was in arrears $20,000.

Bowling set bond an OR bond of $40,000 and scheduled a May 21 pretrial conference.
