A man found out last week that you can’t pull a fast one on the Lawrence County Adult Probation Agency or Common Pleas Court.

Josh Fout, 23, of 2260 Township Road 177, Willow Wood, was given a modified bond Wednesday after the Adult Probation Department allegedly caught him trying to cheat his drug screen.

Adult Probation Officer Lynne Stewart told Judge Charles Cooper her department was unable to collect a urine sample from Fout because he “brought in someone else’s urine in a bottle.”

Lynne also said Fout admitted to using oxycontin.

Last year, Cooper changed the court’s policy and now requires mandatory drug screenings at all pretrial hearings for individuals who are free on bond.

Since the screenings began, Stewart said there have only been a few instances of people trying fake their results.

Cooper doubled Fout’s bond from $50,000 to $100,000 and schedule a pretrial for May 16.

In other cases:

• A Coal Grove man’s charges were amended to reduced charges.

Robert Kalmback, 44, of 803 High St., pleaded guilty to fourth-degree attempted intimidation and attempted assault on a peace officer. He also pleaded guilty to one count of disorderly conduct.

Cooper sentenced Kalmback to four years community-control sanctions with intensive supervised probation (CCS/ISP) and ordered him to successfully complete the STAR Community Justice Center program. Kalmback was also sentenced to 30 days in the county jail, to run concurrently.

Kalmback’s attorney, Warren Morford, asked for a lesser sentence, saying Kalmback now has a “realization of the cause and effect when he uses alcohol.”
