A Campbellsville man will spend eight years in prison for drug and other charges.

Richard Robert "Ray Ray" Scott, 34, of 202 Cedar St. appeared before Taylor County Circuit Judge Allan Bertram on Tuesday, Sept. 30.

Scott pleaded guilty in two separate cases to first-degree selling cocaine and fourth-degree assault. Two counts of being a first-degree persistent felony offender were dismissed. He originally faced a charge of second-degree assault.

Bertram recommended that Scott receive drug treatment. He was given credit for time he has already served.

Also on Bertram's docket:

- Amy Lynne Mann, 37, of 356 Grider Road in Russell Springs was granted a diversion on a theft charge.

In August, Mann pleaded guilty to theft by unlawful taking more than $300.

Mann was granted a five-year pretrial diversion and ordered to attend the Drug Court Program in Adair County, stay out of Wal-Mart Supercenter for two years and pay $470.27 in restitution.

If she fails the terms of the diversion, Mann will be sentenced to two or five years in prison.

Mann's case is set for final disposition Oct. 8, 2013. Court records also list her address as 4560 Sulpher Creek Road in Columbia.

- Anita Marie Stone, 33, of 222 Carnation St. in Campbellsville was sentenced to five years' probation on drug and other charges.

In August, Stone pleaded guilty to first-degree possession of cocaine, possession of less than 8 ounces of marijuana and resisting arrest.

Court records also list Stone's address as 301 Kerr St. in Campbellsville.

- David Shawn Summers, 33, of 380 Berry Road in Campbellsville was sentenced to five years' probation on a drug charge.

In July, Summers pleaded guilty to selling less than five pounds of marijuana.

He was also ordered to pay $950 in restitution to the Campbellsville Police Department Drug Elimination Fund.

Court records also list his address as Hord Street in Campbellsville.

- Willie Cole Bland, 30, of 81 Bright Ridge Road in Elk Horn or 56 Anna Court in Campbellsville pleaded guilty in two separate cases to theft by unlawful taking more than $300 and receiving more than $300 in stolen property.

The prosecutor has recommended that Bland be granted a five-year pretrial diversion. If he fails the terms of his diversion, the prosecutor has recommended that Bland be sentenced to serve five years in prison.

Formal sentencing is set for Nov. 18. Court records also list his address as 110 Anna Court in Campbellsville.

- Tina Michelle McMillan, 36, of Airview Apt. #32 in Campbellsville pleaded guilty to second-degree selling hydrocodone.

The prosecutor has recommended that McMillan receive a two-year sentence. Court records state the prosecutor has remained silent as to whether McMillan should serve the sentence in prison or receive probation.

Formal sentencing is set for Nov. 18. Court records also list McMillan's address as 710 High Pine St., Apt. #2, in Campbellsville.

- DeWayne aka Dwayne "Blue" Smith, 47, of 608 Birdwood Ave. in Campbellsville pleaded guilty to first-degree possession of cocaine. He originally faced a second or subsequent offense charge. A charge of being a first-degree persistent felony offender was dismissed.

Smith was sentenced to two years in prison to be served after he completes sentences in two other Taylor County cases.

He was given credit for time he has already served and Bertram recommended that he receive drug treatment.

- Jonathan Darrell "Skeeter" Cox, 39, of 1629 E. Broadway, Lot 9, in Campbellsville had his diversion voided and could spend five years in prison on drug and other charges.

In September 2006, Cox pleaded guilty in two separate cases to two counts of second-degree criminal possession of forged checks, first-degree possession of cocaine, third-degree assault and resisting arrest.

A month later, Cox was granted a five-year pretrial diversion. If he failed the terms of his diversion, Cox was to be sentenced to five years in prison. He was also ordered to pay $1,300 in restitution to Citizens Bank.

Cox's diversion was voided because he faces new charges in Taylor and Marion counties, failed to report to the probation and parole office, avoided probation and parole staff and has used marijuana and Lortab.

Sentencing is set for Oct. 21. Court records also list his address as 707 High Pine St., 207 S. Columbia Ave. and 705 S. Columbia Ave, all in Campbellsville.

- William Joseph Dickens, 30, of 555 Morris Creek Road in Campbellsville violated the terms of his diversion and will spend 60 days in jail.

In December 2004, Dickens pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal mischief and three counts of third-degree terroristic threatening.

Two months later, Dickens was granted a five-year pretrial diversion. If he failed the terms of his diversion, Dickens was to be sentenced to two years in prison. He was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and to have no contact with the victims and attend anger management classes.

In July 2005, a motion was made to revoke Dickens' diversion because he faced a burglary charge and had not paid restitution, though Bertram passed on revoking the diversion.

At his most recent court appearance, Dickens acknowledged that he has since been convicted of other crimes.

After Dickens serves 60 days in prison, his diversion will be continued.

Court records also list his address as 555 Moores Creek Road, 108 Crescent Hill Drive and 109 Candace St., all in Campbellsville.
