WILLIAMSON - A Duncan Fork woman received a sentence of one to five years in a state correctional facility Thursday for gross child neglect, creating substantial risk of serious bodily injury.

Misty Adkins, 31, was indicted on the child neglect charge by the January 2009 grand jury. She pleaded guilty as charged and waived the right to a presentence investigation during an appearance in Mingo County Circuit Court.

Chief Judge Michael Thornsbury imposed the sentence and a fine of $1,000. Attorney Kathryn CiscoSturgell represented Adkins.

Mingo County Prosecu-ting Attorney C. Michael Sparks represented the state of West Virginia in the Adkins case and four other proceedings in which guilty pleas were submitted by defendants.

The prosecutor’s office has achieved felony convictions in 85 cases thus far in 2009.

A Williamson man, Claude Ashley Smith, also known as “Peanut,” pleaded guilty to delivery of a Schedule I controlled substance (Marijuana) as charged in Count I of his January felony indictment.

Sparks said Smith is exposed to confinement in a state correctional facility for an indefinite term of not less than one year nor more than five years. He was represented by Attorney Diana Carter Wiedel.

Additionally, Sparks said, Smith forfeited $4,320.37 in United States currency; a 1996 Ford Ranger; a 1999 Harley-Davidson Sportster; a 2006 Honda All-Terrain vehicle; a 2002 Honda All-Terrain vehicle and a Husqvarna mower pursuant to the West Virginia Contraband Forfeiture Act.
