In Indiana County Court today, several defendants will be sentenced, including a Clarksburg woman who pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for an incident last December.
42-year-old Clarissa Lee Sphon pleaded guilty in exchange for non-prosecution on another aggravated assault charge, as well as resisting arrest and harassment. She also pleaded guilty to criminal mischief while in custody the same day as the assault case, and to having contraband/non-controlled substance the next day. A charge of contraband/controlled substance will not be prosecuted.
Also in county court today, 25-year-old Flint Nemo Kinter of Marion Center will be sentenced for guilty pleas in two cases. In 2016, he pleaded guilty to recklessly endangering another person plus nineteen traffic violations for a police chase in April of that year. He was admitted into the county’s ARD program for first-time offenders, but that was revoked when a second case came up last year. Kinter was arrested in March of 2017 after a traffic stop in Rayne Township. Inside his vehicle, police found cocaine, THC was, marijuana, LSD and MDMA, which is a synthetic hallucinogenic found in “ecstasy” and other drugs.
Kinter told state police he buys drugs in Pittsburgh and sells them in Indiana County, and the stash he had with him then was intended to be sold at the IUPattys event. He pleaded guilty to possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.
61-year-old Ray Kleinfelter Sr. of Kent will be sentenced for aggravated indecent assault, in a plea bargain in which additional charges of corruption of minors, indecent assault, and forcible involuntary deviate sexual intercourse were not prosecuted.
45-year-old Donna Mae Ackerson of Butler will be sentenced today for a firearms violation.
