A Pottsville woman is headed back to prison after having her parole revoked Thursday in Schuylkill County Court for the third time.
Sammy Jo Rohrback, 27, must remain in prison until July 16, when her sentence ends, Judge Cyrus Palmer Dolbin ruled after revoking her parole.
"Don't get in trouble any more," Dolbin told Rohrback. "Stop doing what you're doing."
Rohrback admitted violating her parole by being charged with a new crime.
She originally pleaded guilty on April 20, 2011, to theft and receiving stolen property. At that time, Dolbin placed her on probation for 18 months and also ordered her to pay costs, $50 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account and $1,500 restitution.
Saint Clair police charged Rohrback with committing the theft on May 14, 2010, in the borough.
Dolbin revoked her parole on Nov. 9, 2011, and sentenced her to serve four to 23 months in prison. He subsequently revoked her parole on Aug. 2, 2012, and July 15, 2013.
Also on Thursday, Dolbin sentenced Brian P. McDonald, 34, of Shenandoah, to spend nine to 23 months in prison.
Dolbin imposed that sentence after McDonald admitted violating his probation by not reporting to his supervising officer since February 2013, moving without permission and not paying on his costs and fines.
McDonald originally pleaded guilty on Sept. 26, 2012, to unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and defiant trespass, with prosecutors withdrawing a charge of criminal mischief. At that time, Dolbin sentenced him to spend 23 months on probation, pay costs, a $25 fine, a $50 CJEA payment and $4,607.77 restitution, amounts he still must pay under the terms of Thursday's sentence, and perform 10 hours community service.
State police at Frackville alleged McDonald committed his crimes on Aug. 21, 2011.
Also on Thursday, Dolbin revoked the parole of Keith D. Benjamin, 29, of Ashland, and ordered him to stay in prison until Feb. 19, 2015, without a chance for reparole for at least four months.
Benjamin admitted violating his parole by using bath salts, failing to report to his supervising officer and moving without permission.
"You'd better not think about using bath salts any more," Dolbin told Benjamin, adding that they either would kill him or cause him to kill someone else and spend the rest of his life in prison.
Benjamin originally pleaded guilty on Sept. 26, 2012, to criminal trespass, possessing instrument of crime, theft and criminal mischief, with prosecutors withdrawing charges of burglary and receiving stolen property. At that time, Dolbin sentenced Benjamin to serve 5 1/2 to 11 months in prison consecutive to a sentence he already was serving, spend two additional years on probation, pay costs and a $50 CJEA payment, and submit a DNA sample to law enforcement authorities.
Shenandoah police alleged Benjamin committed his crimes on March 8, 2012, in the borough.
Also in Schuylkill County Court, Judge Jacqueline L. Russell recently accepted guilty pleas from, and, pursuant to agreements between prosecutors and defendants, imposed the indicated sentences on, these people:
Timothy L. Bressler, 47, of Mount Carbon - possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia; six to 12 months in prison, $200 fine, $200 in payments to the Substance Abuse Education Fund, $100 in CJEA payments, $50 bench warrant fee, 40 hours community service and drug and alcohol evaluation. Prosecutors withdrew a charge of driving under suspension.
Lindsey A. Brown, 30, of Port Carbon - disorderly conduct; $100 fine. Prosecutors withdrew a second count of disorderly conduct.
Theodore W. Dyess, 58, of Kaska - unsworn falsification to authorities and tampering with public records; three to 18 months in prison with immediate parole, $1,000 fine and $50 CJEA payment. Prosecutors withdrew a charge of failure to provide accurate registration information.
All defendants who were sentenced must pay costs as a part of their sentences.
