A man who was sentenced to STAR last month has asked a judge to change his sentence to prison.

Lowney Dossey, 28, of 216 Township Road 240W asked Judge Charles Cooper in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court to send him to prison instead of having him complete the STAR Community Justice Program as part of his community controlled sanctions.

Cooper agreed, sentencing him to the 11 months in a state penitentiary that were reserved for him when he was sentenced in July.

Dossey’s charges were felony breaking and entering and misdemeanor charges of assault and criminal damaging.
