UPDATE: Keon Clark was ordered to serve 27 months to 15 years in state prison for a charge of delivery of heroin and one-and-a-half to seven years on a charge of criminal use of a communications facility. Indiana County President Judge William Martin ordered that all the sentences run concurrently.
WHAT WE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED
In Indiana County Court today, an Indiana man will be re-sentenced for his guilty pleas to drug charges.
36-year-old Keon Anthony Clark pleaded guilty to delivery of heroin and criminal use of a communication facility in October of last year and was sentenced by Judge William Martin last month to serve up to five years in state prison. Clark’s attorney filed a motion for a review of the sentence and it was subsequently vacated, but Clark then asked the court to reinstate the original sentence. He is scheduled in court for re-sentencing at 8:30 this morning.
Clark is also serving two to ten years at SCI Pine Grove for a drug conviction in Jefferson County, where he pleaded guilty to delivering crack cocaine to a confidential informant, because he said he was “out of heroin”.
Both of the drug cases originated in August of 2017, the Jefferson County incident occurring six days after the Indiana County incident.
The court schedule today also includes close to two dozen DUI cases in which defendants will both plead and be sentenced.
