Judge D. Scott Bowling sentenced Martin to 15 months in prison.

Eddie Ray Estep, 29, of 150 Township Road 615, South Point, was arraigned on one count of theft.

He pleaded not guilty through his attorney, Mike Davenport. Bowling set a $20,000 own recognizance (OR) bond with electronically monitored home confinement.

Alexandra N. Hammond, of 404 1/4 S. Fourth St., Ironton, admitted she violated her probation, also known as community control sanctions, when she tested positive for drugs and was found to be associating with known felons.
