Starke Circuit Court Judge Kim Hall sentenced two offenders in hearings Thursday afternoon.
Danny Clark, 21 of Kokomo, pleaded guilty in a plea agreement with the state to charges of Burglary as a Class C felony and Receiving Stolen Property as a Class D felony.
One of those defendants was Hanley Warren Chapman. The last time this case was discussed in court, Judge Hall stated that he had questions concerning the factual basis regarding a charge of Resisting Law Enforcement. He also inquired about a mental health evaluation as Chapman told the judge that an evaluation was done but wasn’t included in the plea agreement. Chapman told Judge Hall that he is seeking help for his alcohol abuse and is taking medication to stabilize his issues.
Judge Hall rejected a plea agreement for 18-year-old Martin Noble because he didn’t pay his $100 public defender fee and he didn’t have the paperwork filed for his evaluation into community corrections in time for his hearing. His case was set for a status hearing for Friday, Feb. 7 at 9 a.m.
