The Tenth Judicial District Court convened on Tuesday, April 7, with Judge Thomas Stockard presiding.

Clay Edward Erb appeared for sentencing on Offer, Attempt, or Commission of an Unauthorized Act Relating to a Controlled or Counterfeit Substance, a Category D Felony, to which he pleaded guilty in February.

The offense occurred on April 2, 2024, and the case remained in Justice Court until sentencing.

Deputy District Attorney Priscilla Baker said that pursuant to plea negotiations, the State does not object to Erb attending diversion. The State asked for the maximum sentence, suspended, and that Erb be allowed to attend the Western Nevada Regional Drug Court program.

Defense attorney Steven Evenson said his client is willing to be supervised, has done well on diversion, and has completed Drug Court in the past. Evenson noted that Erb is the sole provider and support for his minor child. The defense agreed with the State and said incarceration would not be beneficial.

Erb said he would benefit from attending drug court again.

Judge Stockard explained to the defendant that, based on his criminal history, it was a close call regarding whether he would be sent to prison.

Judge Stockard granted Erb probation on a suspended 19–48 months prison sentence. In addition to the standard conditions of probation, Erb was ordered to obtain a substance abuse evaluation and follow all recommendations.
