Indiana County Court will have sentencing hearings and a jury trial today.
The jury trial is for Ryan Price, who is charged with retail theft by under-ringing in an incident that happened on April 4th of this year. This marks the second time that the trial has been scheduled for Price, as his case was continued on September 23rd.
Sentencing hearings will be held today for Michael Anthony Carrozza of Ernest, who pleaded guilty to charges of possession of drug paraphernalia, providing false ID to law enforcement officers, making repairs or selling prohibited weapons and two summary traffic offenses.
