Accomack County Circuit Court
Thursday, February 6, 2014
Jonathan Tykot - sentenced to 12 months with six months suspended after pleading of indecent liberties with a child. Mr. Tykot was charged on April 1, 2013 for use of a communications device in an indecent manner. In a plea agreement charges were reduced to a misdemeanor in exchange for a guilty plea. This incident occurred at a New Years Eve party on December 31, 2012 in Quinby. At the time the victim had just turned 14 years old. The parents of the victim discovered communications on a Facebook page between the dates of December 31, 2012 and January 6, 2013.
Judge Revel Lewis accepted the plea agreement and sentenced the defendant to 12 months with six months suspended with the balance to be served on weekends.
Austin Parks - convicted on three counts of burglary and grand larceny, was sentenced to two years on each count. Parks was convicted on three counts December 12, 2013. He was in court for sentencing. Defense attorney Garrett Dunham explained that the defendant had been very cooperative, open and honest and therefore he was asking the court to understand this was the defendants first felony. He said the defendant should be sentenced to less than the guidelines. Assistant Commonwealth attorney Matt Brenner reported that the presentence report was full of drugs, fights and a long juvenile record and he was asking for a long suspended sentence like 20 years.
Judge Lewis sentenced the defendant to two years on each count to run consecutively with all but five months suspended. This would give Mr. Parks 22 months of active jail time.
Dana Davis - convicted of forgery. This case came from his signing traffic ticket and court documents with someone else's name. Mr. Davis speaking on his behalf explained to the court that he was trying to break his family cycle, asking for leniency. Documents from Tyson Foods were entered showing more than five years of continuous employment with a good work record.
Judge Lewis sentenced Mr. Davis to three years with all but six months suspended and allowing a work release for that six months period.
Torey Duffy - charged with burglary and Petit larceny. Being convicted on July 25, 2013 at a bench trial Mr. Duffy was asking to be put in the diversion program which would allow him to work during this time to be served. Having already been in jail for 14 months and four days with a new six-month-old child whom he had never seen was his reasoning.
Judge Lewis explaining that part of this burglary was third-generation jewelry which had been handed down from the great-grandmother which was irreplaceable.
Judge Lewis ordered $3782 in restitution and sentenced Mr. Duffy to 15 years on the breaking and entering charge and 12 months for the Petit larceny with all but five years suspended.
Lorena Villareal - convicted of fifth offense of DWI was sentenced to five years. This was her fourth offense within a 10 year period Ms. Villareal was stopped on October 12, 2013 in the parking lot of Shore Shop and the Eastern shore news after driving over the curb.
With probation violations pending in Maryland the defendant was sentenced to five years with all but one year and five months suspended.
