A Huntington man charged with threatening the Ironton post Ohio State Highway Patrol commander was found not guilty by reason of insanity Wednesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court.

Evaluations showed that Cameron Edward Blake, 27, was competent to stand trial, but not at the time of the offense because of a “severe mental disease” and did not know the wrongfulness of his actions when he threatened Lt. Michael Gore of the OSHP during a traffic stop.

Blake will not serve prison time for the third-degree intimidation charge, but instead will be admitted to Appalachian Behavioral Health in Athens, where he received the evaluation.

In other cases:

Two Lawrence County men were sentenced for domestic violence charges.

Kenneth Holtzapfel, 32, of 510 1/2 Railroad St., Ironton, pleaded guilty to third-degree domestic violence against his wife.

“I’m done with all this that’s gone on for about 12 years,” Holtzapfel said before sentencing.

Judge Charles Cooper agreed, saying Holtzapfel “hit the nail on the head.”

“I think the best thing for you is to separate from your wife,” Cooper said.

Cooper sentenced Holtzapfel to four years of community-control sanctions with intensive supervised probation, issued a restraining order for the victim and ordered him to successfully complete the STAR Community Justice Center program.

Christopher Jenkins, 33, of 279 Township Road 1034, South Point, pleaded guilty to two third-degree counts of domestic violence as well as third-degree attempt to commit burglary and fourth-degree assault on a peace officer. A fifth count of resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, was merged with the assault charge.

Cooper sentenced Jenkins to three years in prison for each domestic violence charge and the attempted burglary charge, to be served concurrently. Jenkins received one year in prison for the assault charge, to be served consecutively for a total of four years in prison.

Dwayne E. Stephens, 34, of 461 Township Road 1055, Proctorville, pleaded guilty to third-degree burglary, which was reduced from a second-degree felony.

Cooper sentenced Stephens to three years in prison and ordered him to pay $3,500 in restitution to the victim.
