Karl granted a request from his attorney Brent Clyburn, that Lemasters be released to take care of family business until Oct. 11, at which time he is to report to the North Central Regional Jail at noon.

A third charge was dismissed. It was for second offense driving under the influence.

Coy L. Moffitt, 31, of Sistersville, pleaded guilty to the felony charge of grand larceny, stealing $2,600 or more on Aug. 9 from his father’s residence. The money was being saved by his father to be used for his wife’s headstone.

He had originally denied the charge but later admitted to taking the money to help support his drug problem. The guilty plea was accepted and he was ordered to make restitution to his father, Coy Moffitt Sr., in the amount of $2,600, to Carol Stuart $422, and to Martha Michaels $33.43. Counts 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 of the indictment were dismissed. He was remanded back to jail and ordered to report back to court on Nov. 7 to argue sentencing.

Mary Moffitt, 25, of Sistersville, also pleaded guilty to grand larceny, an identical charge to the one above. Before Judge Karl, she stated that she had a drug problem and that K2 was her drug of choice. She was also ordered to make identical restitution and the other nine counts of her indictment were dismissed. She was also ordered to return to court on Nov. 7 at 10 a.m. for sentencing.

Both Moffitts were remanded to jail.

Jessica L. Seckman, 28, of Alma, was released on Thursday. On April 2, 2012, Seckman pleaded guilty to the felony charge of concealment of a child from a person entitled to visitation. Judge David W. Hummel Jr. sentenced her to the maximum sentence for the crime-one to five years in prison.

At the hearing she was 10 days short of two years, with probation included. Judge Karl stated, “I know the state objects to your release, but I think two years is enough. Ms. Seckman, I’m going to let you out and I don’t want to see you again.”

Karl dismissed the case against Abdul-Kahar A. Al-Janaby, 33, of New Martinsville. On April 19, 2012, Judge David Hummel sentenced Al-Janaby to 45 days in North Central Regional Jail for the misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. The sentence was suspended and he was able to serve the time on home confinement, followed by two years supervised probation.

Because of his plea, Al-Janaby was detained by immigration with the intent to deport him.

Prosecutor Luke Furbee said it was never the desire of the state for that to happen. He felt that if Al-Janaby had known he was to be detained, he may have entered a different plea.

Furbee further stated it was the state’s desire to have the charges dismissed and the defendant released from probation. ChIef Probation Officer John Lantz, who said Al-Janaby had always been compliant, had no objections.

Zachary S. Boor, 23, of Middlebourne was in court on Thursday alongside his attorney, Justin Craft, on a petition to revoke his probation for two counts of possession of a controlled substance and expired registration.

Boor was ordered to return to Tyler County Circuit Court on Nov. 7 at 10 a.m. He then was remanded back into custody.
