A 22-year-old Ironton woman was sentenced for breaking into her father’s garage Wednesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court.

Sarah Brace, of 2045 County Road 181, pleaded guilty to a bill of information of fifth-degree breaking and entering.

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Mack Anderson and Brace’s defense attorney Warren Morford both agreed they felt Brace was ready to get help for her drug problem.

“I’m sorry once again, and hopefully I’ll get it right this time,” Brace said before sentencing.

Judge Charles Cooper sentenced Brace to four years of community-controlled sanctions with intensive supervised probation and ordered her to complete the STAR Community Justice Center drug program.

In other cases:

• A South Point man, owing more than $47,000, pleaded guilty to one count of criminal non-support.

Daniel Lacy Smith, 35, of 96 Township Road 1508, was sentenced to four years CCS and was ordered to pay $47,706.60 in restitution. Smith was also represented by Warren Morford.

Cooper sentenced Dowden to four years CCS. Dowden was represented by attorney David Reid Dillon.

• Donald Large, 32, of 2714 S. Fifth St., Ironton, admitted to a CCS violation.

Cooper sentenced Large to three years in prison with the possibility of judicial release to the three-month STAR relapse program after 15 months of good behavior. Large was represented by Warren Morford.

• Paul Blevins, 37, of 1567 Cartro Road, Franklin Furnace, denied a CCS violation through his attorney Warren Morford.
