Eighteen prison sentences were imposed, four cases were continued, and probations of three defendants were revoked by Chief Judge Michael Thornsbury Monday in Mingo County Circuit Court.

Jacinda Ward, 30, of Delbarton; Dustin Ward, 33, and Brandon Ward, 35, both of Williamson, were sentenced after revocation of their probations were ordered by the court.

All three defendants were indicted by the January 2005 Grand Jury on drug-related charges and had been placed on probation. When Mingo County Probation Officer Carla Preece summoned the three in for random drug screenings, none appeared. It developed that Jacinda and Dustin Ward had left the state without permission to do so and Branfdon Ward failed to show up for the testing.

When their cases came up Monday, Judge Thornsbury revoked their probations and resentenced

Jacinda and Brandon Ward one to five years each, and imposed a two- to five-year sentence on Dustin Ward. Attorney Diana C. Wiedel represented Jacinda Ward and Attorney Susan J. Van Zant appeared for Dustin and Brandon Ward.

Representing the state in the various cases were Mingo County Prosecuting Attorney C. Michael Sparks and Assistant Prosecutors Teresa D. Maynard and Glen R. Rutledge.
