115th District Judge Lauren Parish sentenced 13 persons on felony charges and two for misdemeanor offenses between Dec. 20 and 21, according to Upshur County District Attorney Billy Byrd’s office.

Details of the felony sentencings were as follows, and unless otherwise noted, they occurred Dec. 20, Byrd’s office said:

Danny Francis, 57, of Okmulgee, Okla., drew seven years in prison for driving while intoxicated—subsequent offense when his probation was revoked.

Francis admitted violating probation for the May 30, 2001 offense, which Gilmer police investigated. Byrd represented the state in the case, while attorney Scott Novy represented Francis.

Jonathan Dean Hughes, 21, of Ore City, drew 18 months in a state jail for burglary of a building when his probation was revoked. He also admitted violating probation for his Oct. 31, 2006 crime, investigated by Ore City police.

Assistant District Attorney Edward Choy represented the state. Gilmer attorney Tim Cone represented Hughes..

Christine Diane Davis, 22, of Big Sandy, drew 18 months in state jail for possession of a controlled substance—methamphetamine when her probation was revoked.

She admitted violating probation for the June 15, 2007 offense, which Gilmer police investigated. Choy represented the state; attorney Craig Bass represented Ms. Davis.

Thomas Alan Auld, 26, of Pittsburg, received five years in prison for burglary of habitation when his probation was revoked. He also admitted violating probation for his Sept. 24, 2002 offense, which the Upshur County Sheriff’s Office probed.

Byrd and Novy handled the sentencing.

Vanessa Kay Williams, 40, of Mt. Pleasant, drew 90 days in the Upshur County Jail after pleading guilty to theft of property of the value of $50 or more but less than $500—repeat offender.

Gilmer police investigated the Dec. 28, 2008 crime. Byrd and Cone handled the plea.

Christopher Wayne Green, 38, of Pittsburg, drew two concurrent 18-month state jail terms after his probation was revoked on one charge and he pled guilty to another.

Green’s probation for criminal nonsupport was revoked. The Texas Attorney General’s office probed that Jan. 19, 2006 offense. He also pled guilty to a Jan. 18, 2009 charge of evading arrest/detention with a vehicle, which the Sheriff’s Office investigated.

Choy represented the state, while Gladewater attorney Barry Wallace represented Green.

Cody Joe Henderson, 30, of Mineola, was placed on four years “deferred adjudication” probation after pleading guilty to possession of methamphetamine. (“Deferred adjudication” means no final conviction appears on a defendant’s record if he/she successfully completes probation. But when such probation is revoked, the maximum sentence for the crime can be imposed.)

Henderson was fined $250 and ordered to perform 300 hours of community service, in addition to several other terms of probation. The Texas Department of Public Safety investigated the March 6 offense.

Byrd represented the state. Attorney Craig Bass represented Henderson.

Some of Whittaker’s many terms of probation included a $1,000 fine, 300 hours of community service, suspension of his driver’s license for 180 days, and forfeiting a gun.

Byrd and Bass handled the case.

Rick Wells, 52, of Gilmer, was placed on four years deferred adjudication probation after pleading guilty to fraudulent use or possession of identifying information.

Gilmer police probed the April 1, 2008 offense. Some of Wells’s terms of probation included a $1,500 fine and 400 hours of community service.

Choy and Cone handled the case.
