The Nevada 10th Judicial District Court convened Tuesday, August 11th, 2020, with Judge Tom Stockard presiding.
Brittania Sharrie Anderson-Vankrey appeared for sentencing after being arrested and taken into custody last week on a bench warrant issued when she did not appear for sentencing on July 14th. The hearing was continued for one week.
Shawn Bradley Brown, upon previously entering a guilty plea for grand larceny, appeared for sentencing. According to Assistant District Attorney, Priscilla Baker, on December 25, 2019, Brown stole approximately $2,840 in personal items from a storage unit as well as breaking the unit lock and latch causing property damage of $140. Additionally, Brown has five prior theft convictions, including two felonies. Charles Woodman, Esq., defense counsel for Brown, argued for probation stating that his client had been working since May, is a non-violent offender, and presents no danger to persons in the community.
Neither the storage shed property owner nor the storage shed holder appeared for the proceedings to provide victim impact statements. Brown offered the following statement to the court. “I want to take responsibility for my actions, it was wrong. There is no excuse for what I did and I want an opportunity to do the right thing.” Judge Stockard stated that he considered probation, but due to the facts and the defendant’s criminal history, he did not feel it was appropriate in this case. Brown, who also faced sentencing on other charges in Justice Court, received a prison term of 19-48 months.
Dean Patrick McGee was scheduled for arraignment and possible sentencing. However, McGee had been out of custody and tested positive for methamphetamines prior to appearing. Chief Deputy District Attorney Lane Milles argued for a continuance based on the potential legal ramifications of proceeding with the defendant being under the influence of intoxicating substances. Judge Stockard concurred and continued the matter for one week and ordered that McGee be taken into custody to ensure he is not under the influence at the time he enters his plea.
Gay Evelyn Page was arraigned on charges of allegedly attempting to commission for the manufacturing or compounding of a controlled substance. Page was originally arrested in early July by the Task Force for the sale of various controlled substances, dispensing and/or furnishing dangerous drugs, and having an open site for the sale of controlled substances. Page entered a plea of guilty and will be sentenced at a later date.
Monique Nicole Routt was sentenced on charges of Accessory to a Felony, a Category C felony. The prosecution recommended probation as Routt was not the primary actor in the burglary of which she was associated. Charles Woodman, Esq., defense counsel for the defendant, agreed to the State’s recommendations. Judge Stockard sentenced Routt to a suspended sentence of 19-48 months with the provision that she receive a substance abuse evaluation within 45 days and follow all included recommendations. Addressing the court, Routt apologized for her actions.
Christopher Michael Schneider was arranged on a Category D felony charge of allegedly failing to have a fixed address and notifying law enforcement of changes in residency within 30 days. Judge Stockard ordered a pre-trial investigation prior to sentencing which is scheduled for September 11th. Schneider could face probation or 1-4 year in prison if convicted. He released from custody on his own recognizance.
