Van Wert independent

Only two cases were heard in Van Wert County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday.

Tristan Boaz, 22, of Van Wert, appeared for sentencing, but requested that her case be continued so she could seek drug treatment. Judge Charles D. Steele granted the request and allowed her to be released from jail on electronically monitored house arrest.

Sentencing on a charge of forgery will be rescheduled.

Michael Speakman, 22, of Willshire, was given three years of community control on a charge of telecommunications fraud, a felony of the fifth degree. As part of his sentence he will serve 180 days in jail, but was also granted work release.
