The District Court heard two pleas in local cases last week during docket calls in Clarendon and Childress.
District Attorney Luke Inman, assisted by Greg Buckley, prosecuted the cases for the State of Texas with the Honorable Judge Stuart Messer presiding.
In Clarendon on Monday, October 6, Billy Gene Chadwick was convicted for the second degree felony offense of burglary of a habitation and was sentenced to ten years in the Institutional Division of the TDCJ, but the sentence was probated for a period of three years.
Chadwick, 41-years-old of Clarendon, was arrested in Donley County by Deputy Sonny Marasco on April 21, 2014, and was later indicted by a Donley County Grand Jury on June 25, 2014.
Pursuant to the plea Chadwick is required to pay a $2,000 fine to Donley County, $614 in court costs, and complete 300 hours of community service.
In Childress on Thursday, October 9, Matthew Lunsford was placed on probation for a period of two years for the class A misdemeanor offense of deadly conduct. Lunsford pleaded guilty and was placed on deferred adjudication for the offense.
Lunsford, 18-year-old resident of Clarendon, was arrested in Donley County for the offense that took place February 23, 2014, by Donley County Deputy Jay Logan and was indicted by a Donley County Grand Jury on April 1, 2014.
Pursuant to the plea agreement, Lunsford is required to pay a $250 fine to Donley County, $398 in court costs, and successfully complete 100 hours of community service. If Lunsford violates probation, he could face up to one year in the county jail.
