A Wilkes-Barre man returned to prison Tuesday after a Schuylkill County judge revoked his parole in a theft case.
Luke E. Miller, 22, admitted violating his parole by failing to report to his supervising officer, moving without permission, not performing court-ordered community service and committing new crimes.
After revoking Miller’s parole, President Judge William E. Baldwin recommitted him to prison and reparoled him immediately to Luzerne County Correctional Facility to serve a sentence from that county.
Miller originally pleaded guilty on Feb. 19, 2014, to theft. At that time, Baldwin sentenced him to serve four to 23 months in prison, pay costs, $50 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account and $14,896.23 restitution, and submit a DNA sample to law enforcement authorities.
State police at Schuylkill Haven charged Miller with committing the theft on June 24, 2013.
In another Tuesday case, Baldwin revoked the parole of Nicole E. Brobst, 21, of Pottsville, but did not immediately recommit her to prison.
Brobst originally pleaded guilty on May 21, 2014, to corruption of minors. At that time, Baldwin placed her on probation for 12 months, and also sentenced her to pay costs, a $50 CJEA payment and a $50 bench warrant fee.
On May 11, 2013, Baldwin revoked Brobst’s probation and sentenced her to serve three to 12 months in prison.
Schuylkill Haven borough police charged Brobst with corrupting the morals of a minor on Dec. 23, 2012, in the borough.
Also on Tuesday, Baldwin revoked the parole and probation of Renee Gibas, 44, of New Philadelphia, and sentenced her to serve nine to 24 months in a state correctional institution.
Gibas originally pleaded guilty on Jan. 14, 2015, to retail theft and receiving stolen property. At that time, Baldwin placed her on probation for 12 months, and also sentenced her to pay costs, a $200 fine and a $50 CJEA payment, and submit a DNA sample to law enforcement authorities.
State police at Schuylkill Haven charged Gibas with committing the theft on May 30, 2014.
In other recent county court action, Judge Jacqueline L. Russell accepted guilty pleas from, and, pursuant to agreements between prosecutors and defendants, imposed the indicated sentences on, these people:
Rebecca L. Morgan, 30, of Schuylkill Haven; three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and one of possession of a controlled substance; 12 months probation, $300 in payments to the Substance Abuse Education Fund, $150 in CJEA payments and $113 restitution to the state police crime laboratory in Bethlehem. Prosecutors withdrew charges of vehicle registration suspended and operating vehicle without required financial responsibility.
Karen A. Stump, 42, of Frackville; driving under the influence; 72 hours to six months in prison, $1,000 fine, $300 SAEF payment, $50 CJEA payment, a $50 bench warrant fee and $60 restitution to Schuylkill Medical Center-South Jackson Street. Prosecutors withdrew a charge of accident involving damage to unattended vehicle or property.
All defendants who were sentenced must pay costs as a part of their sentences.
