Robert J. Lewellen, 20, and Christopher L. Maggard, 18, addresses unavailable, pleaded guilty to charges of burglary and theft of property in excess of $1,000.
Lewellen and Maggard are two of three men accused of breaking into First Christian Church in Dyersburg on Jan. 7. They reportedly took the church safe, which contained more than $4,000 and some important papers. The trio was secretly indicted by a Dyer County grand jury in October.
On each of the charges, Lewellen and Maggard were both sentenced to six months in jail followed by 3.5 years on supervised probation. The sentences are to be served concurrently with each other and with two Madison County cases, which carry effective sentences of 16 years. The men also were ordered to pay $4,950 restitution to the church.
In other circuit court action on Nov. 3-4:
* Isaac A. Akins, 20, 206 Pate Ave., was sentenced on charges of possessing more than half a gram of cocaine with intent to sell, possessing drug paraphernalia and unlawful carrying of a handgun. He had pleaded guilty to the charges on Sept. 25 and submitted to judicial sentencing on Nov. 3.
On the drug charge, Akins was sentenced to eight years in prison and fined $2,000.
On each of the other two charges, he was sentenced to 11 months, 29 days in jail.
All of the sentences are to be served concurrently.
* Nigel Mayberry, 20, 1821 Whitney Young, pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to manufacture more than half a gram of cocaine. The charge was presented through a criminal information rather than a grand jury indictment. The document stated that Mayberry conspired with Paul Isom, Cortez D. Cooper and Bryant Thomas Jr. to manufacture crack cocaine. Cooper has already pleaded guilty in the case; charges are pending against the other two.
Mayberry was sentenced to six months in the county jail followed by 2.5 years in a community corrections program.
Mayberry and the other men were indicted last June after Dyersburg police conducted a search at 1005 Bruce and found the ingredients for making crack cocaine. That indictment charged each man with possession of more than half a gram of cocaine with intent to sell and possession of more than half an ounce of marijuana with intent to sell. Those charges will not be prosecuted against Mayberry. The criminal information replaces that indictment for him.
* Regina Michelle Rattiger, 34, 130 Allen Hines Road, pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault. She was accused of stabbing her mother in the head with an ink pen. A second aggravated assault charge involving a different victim was not prosecuted.
Rattiger was sentenced to 120 days in jail followed by three years of supervised probation. She must undergo counseling. She also was forbidden to have any contact with her mother.
* William Kreig Pierce, 21, 480 Bean Mill Road, pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary of a motor vehicle and one count of theft of property in excess of $1,000. Additional auto burglary and theft of property in excess of $500 charges were dismissed.
For each of the burglary charges, Pierce was sentenced to 60 days in jail followed by two years in a community corrections program.
For the theft charge, Pierce was sentenced to 60 days in jail followed by three years in a community corrections program. He was ordered to pay $102 restitution to the victim. Pierce had been granted pretrial diversion for this charge, but his diversion was terminated and he was sentenced.
All of the sentences are to be served concurrently.
Pierce had been accused of breaking into one truck on March 9 and a second truck on March 13. He also was accused of taking a diamond ring, checks and about $570 cash from a third vehicle on Sept. 28, 2006.
* Kevin L. Tipps, 24, 1231 Speedway, was sentenced to three years in a community corrections program for attempting to obtain a controlled substance by fraud. He pleaded guilty Sept. 16 and submitted to judicial sentencing on Nov. 3.
* Stormy Lee Ann Johnson, address unavailable, was granted pretrial diversion on a charge of selling less than half a gram of cocaine. She was placed on supervised probation for two years, ordered to pay $719.50 in court costs, $160 restitution to the Dyersburg Police Department's Drug Fund and a $35 monthly probation supervision fee.
* A charge of theft of property in excess of $1,000 was not prosecuted against Cortez Cooper, 20, 725 Highway 51 Bypass. He had been accused to stealing a car on Aug. 19, 2007.
* Dismissed driving while intoxicated charges against Jerry L. Bonds, who has died.
