A Coal Grove man may not have acted alone in his crime, but he will be sent off to prison alone.

The one-day trial of a man accused of receiving stolen property, a 1997 Dodge truck, resulted in a guilty verdict Monday.

William Bryant, 30, of 61 Pike St., was sentenced to 18 months in prison Wednesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court. The sentence will run concurrently with a probation violation sentence.

Judge D. Scott Bowling told Bryant the jury agreed he wasn’t the only party involved. Bowling also told the man there was little chance anyone else would be indicted in the case.

“Everyday, officers and prosecutors are faced with decisions on what to proceed against,” Bowling said. “… All I can do is administer justice as it applies to you.”

Bowling also noted Bryant had an arrest record that “goes on and on” but he would consider a judicial release after 18 months if he applies for it, but only if he has good behavior while in prison.

“I’d like for you to demonstrate a higher level of a law abiding life than you have,” Bowling told Bryant.

Bryant was represented by attorney John Kehoe.
