Page 28 - Shelton-Mason County Journal Thursday, August 23, 2007 Sentencings: Hoggarth gets nose job and two month, = convicti sex of :harles senten is c hav:r  .o s ecuto rowIl in O r J the i I he all Sa A man who was bitten in the nose by his girlfriend has been sentenced to two months in the Mason County Jail for the assault that found the woman deibnding herself with her teeth. Cary Joseph Hoggarth, 31, of 1110 SE State Route 3, Shel- ton, was charged in Mason County Superior Court in a case that sent him to Mason General Hospital with a severely bitten nose. Dur- ing his treatment it was revealed that he had suffered the injury in an altercation with 23-year-old Susan Lynn Sharpe. Sharpe said she bit Hoggarth in self-defense after he struck her in the mouth with his elbow and choked her. Deputy Jason Sisson of the Mason County Sheriff's Office re- sponded to the call and reported that Hoggarth was intoxicated and "very uncooperative." Judge Sawyer ordered ttog- garth to get an evaluation and treatment for domestic violence and ordered him to pay $1,791.50. He was ordered to haw no con- tact with Sharpe fi,r the next five years. Several other individuals were sentenced on Monday, August 13, to time in the county jail. • Thomas E. Peterson, 24, of 480 North Tribal Center Road was sentenced to 10 months in jail tbr assault in the second degree. He was convicted of driving a stolen Ford F-250 pickup truck into a Ford Expedition driven by Leona Cooper. He was arrested in the early- morning hours of April 28 in con- nection with events on North Ena- tai Court on the Skokomish Reser- vation. Peterson was charged with stealing a truck owned by Thonms Longshore. Investigating offi- cers were told that Cooper was at Longshore's home when Peterson stole the truck and was rammed when she followed him in her own vehicle. The arresting deputy's report indicates that Peterson drank a large amount of beer beibre these incidents, and Peterson's mother told the court that her son has a serious alcohol problem. His grandmother, Lila Vigil, also ad- dressed the court. "(liven a chance I think he can do good," she said. "He's had a decent upbringing; he knows right from wrong." Peterson apologized. "It's time I made a significant change in my life," he said. "I can't keep coming back to jail." Judge Sawyer also sentenced him to nine months for theft in the first degree, but that time will be served concurrently with the time on the assault charge. "On this occasion you created a very real threat to another person," Sawyer said. 'rhat can't be excused. Peo- ple who care about you can't quit drinking for you." The judge ordered Peterson to have no contact with Cooper and ordered him to pay $1,451 in legal financial obligations. • Thomas Joseph Page, 40, of 610 Euclid Avenue, Shelton, was sentenced to 60 days in the Mason County Jail for fourth-degree as- sault and unlawful possession of a firearm. He was found guilty at a jury trial of domestic violence against his 14-year-old daughter and was reported to be in possession of a gun. Page is prohibited from hav- ing a gun based on a prior convic- tion, and defense attorney Ronald Sergi noted that no firearm was found and told Judge James Saw- yer that his client has been evalu- ated for a problem with alcohol and is in a treatment program at Saint Peter Hospital. The victim addressed the court, and Judge James Sawyer told her that adults take responsibility for the things they do. Page told the court he took responsibility for his action and apologized to his daughter for what he did. Page will be on probation for 24 months, during which time 305 days of suspended time on the as- sault charge can be reimposed if he fails to obey orders of the court. Sawyer ordered him to pay $500 to the crime victims thnd, $100 to a fund for victims of domestic vio- lence and costs associated with the case. • James C. Stanley, 26, of 2010 South First Street, Shelton, was sentenced for unlawful pos- session of a firearm in the second degree. Having lost his right to have a gun when he was convicted as a juvenile of burglary and a rob- bery, he had an unloaded Ruger .357 Magnum revolver which was found in a holster in a vehicle he was driving when he was arrest- ed on October 15, 2006 by Officer Warren Ohlson of the Shelton Po- lice Department. Deputy Prosecutor Mike Dorcy recommended eight months in jail, but Sawyer gave Stanley seven instead and ordered him to pay $1,406 in costs. Defense attorney Andrew Rubenstein noted that his client had admitted wrongdoing, and Judge Sawyer told Stanley he must maintain law-abiding behav- ior for a significant period of time if he is to regain his right to pos- sess a firearm. "I've learned from my mistakes," Stanley said. "I know I need to get a job and make a new life for my- self and my children." • Gary Shawn Brown, 30, and an inmate at the state corrections center at Monroe, was sentenced to 30 days incarceration for failing to report as a sex offender. He was incarcerated at Monroe while his case was pending and sent Judge Sawyer two letters from there.

Guilty pleas: Splett is convicted of domestic violenc A 40-year-old man scheduled ibr trial in Mason County Superior Court on a 2004 domestic violence- related incident changed his plea on Friday. Gregory Dennis Splett en- tered an Alford plea of guilty on August 17 to burglary in the sec- ond degree, resolving the three- year-old case. He was convicted of domestic violence in an incident that occurred on October 17, 2004 at 755 NE Tiger-Mission Road involving Shannon Shield with whom he had a dating relation- ship. Deputy Prosecutor Reinhold Schuetz said there were hold-back charges if the case went to trial and that the state agreed not to file a charge of bail jumping in ex- change for the guilty plea. Judge James Sawyer said with no prior felony criminal history, the standard sentencing range is from one to three months and noted there is no post-release su- pervision. An Alford plea is a finding of guilt, the judge emphasized. In an Alford plea a person does not ad- mit to the facts of a case but pleads guilty to take advantage of an of- fer from the state and because the evidence is such that a jury would be likely to convict. Splett is scheduled for sentenc- ing on September 17. Also on Friday, August 17: * Sasha Sue Buhl, 19, of 232 North Iron Street, Centralia, pied guilty to charges of burglary in the second degree and theft in the first degree related to a break-in April 5 at the Lake Limerick Mini Mart. With an offender score of one, the standard sentencing ranges are from three to eight months for the burglary conviction and from two to six months for the first-de- gree theft conviction, Judge Saw- yer explained. The state agreed to make standard-range sentencing recommendations with no objec- tion to partial conversion of time to electronic home monitoring. "Tell me in your own words what you did," the judge asked Buhl. "I took my friends to Lake Limerick Mini Mart and they broke into it," she said. Buhl is scheduled for sentenc- ing on September 24. On Thursday, August 16: • Joshua Michael Dyer, 3 4725 Lams Lane, Poulsbo, enV Alford pleas of guilty to ch of assault in the third degree attempted theft in the secon< gree, a gross misdemeanor was amended from second-de theft, a felony.

Deputy Prosecutor Reinhold Schuetz said there were hold-back charges if the case went to trial and that the state agreed not to file a charge of bail jumping in ex- change for the guilty plea. Judge James Sawyer said with no prior felony criminal history, the standard sentencing range is from one to three months and noted there is no post-release su- pervision. An Alford plea is a finding of guilt, the judge emphasized.

Splett is scheduled for sentenc- ing on September 17.
