A 37-year-old Centralia man has been sentenced to 30 months probation after pleading guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated domestic battery. Eddie Armstrong of East Kell was also ordered to undergo drug, alcohol, and mental health evaluation and recommended treatment and pay $750 in probation fees. He was accused of impeding the breathing of a family member. The charge was reduced from an aggravated domestic battery with a prior conviction that would have required a three to seven-year prison term.
A 24-year-old Centralia woman has pleaded guilty to possession of under five grams of methamphetamine. Jenna Phillips of South Walnut was placed on two years first offender probation, drug, alcohol, and mental health evaluation, random drug testing, and 30 hours of public service work. As part of the plea, a petition to revoke her probation on a prior misdemeanor criminal damage to property charge was dropped.
