from polysubstance addiction and recommended that he take advantage of the substance abuse and counselling services provided through the correctional facility.
Judge W. Shore Robertson deemed Mr. Moody competent to stand before the court and be sentenced. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke argued that Mr. Moody had an extensive prior record and that he had committed a serious offense involving the use of a deadly weapon.
Mr. Luke said he saw a pattern of violent aggressive behavior in Mr. Moody and felt that a period of incarceration was warranted in order to protect the public from the defendant.
Mr. Moody stated, “I was on crack and it led me to this place where I’m at.” He admitted that he was wrong and that he was sorry for what had happened.
In the Arlington jail, where he is currently incarcerated, Mr. Moody said he has signed up to study for his GED, is taking bible lessons, and will attend substance abuse and anger management classes.
Because of Mr. Moody’s prior record and the seriousness of the offense, said Judge Robertson, he did not suspend any of the five years in DOC that he was sentenced to. “The root of your problem is drugs and you are not alone...This record is a record that forces the courts to get more and more severe in the punishments they impose,” said Judge Robertson.
Clayton Harland McDonald, 34, of Hartwood, was found guilty of reckless driving and was sentenced to six months in jail, with five months suspended. He will serve the 30 day jail sentence on work release. The reckless driving charge had been reduced from a DUI charge. Mr. McDonald will be on supervised probation for one year, and lose his driver’s license for six months. However, he may apply for a restricted license after 45 days.
During the same offense, he was charged with possession of cocaine (a felony) and possession of marijuana (a misdemeanor).
The judge put him on first offender status regarding the drug charges, meaning that if Mr. McDonald complies with his supervised probation, the charges may be dropped.
