Charles City man to serve 3 years
A Charles City man will serve a three-year prison sentence after accepting a plea agreement from commonwealth’s attorney Rob Tyler in Charles City Circuit Court.
Brian Wayne Slone, 38, of 4800 Barnetts Road, entered guilty pleas on Tuesday to one count of abduction, two misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and a misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana (second offense.)
In a summary of evidence, Tyler said Slone got into an argument last Sept. 15 with a girlfriend and would not leave the house despite her efforts. A scuffle broke out and she sustained a broken hand. The misdemeanors stem from the defendant admitting he allowed his two sons to smoke marijuana in the period of January to September 2012.
Under the agreement, Slone received 10 years in prison with seven suspended on the abduction charge and must pay $1,650.29 in restitution stemming from medical bills. One year was suspended on each of the three misdemeanor charges.
