Terry Could Face 7 Years If Convicted

DAYTON - A Dayton man faces more than seven years in prison if convicted of charges relating to theft of a motor vehicle, trespass and resisting arrest last spring.

The charges are from Columbia County and the defendant, Edward W. Terry, 26, is being held in Columbia County Jail.

Terry's trial for the charges, set for Feb. 23, will be his third trial since June.

Last spring, he was convicted of forgery and third-degree theft and sentenced to 9 to 13 months in prison.

During the June trial, Terry had posted bail and caused more trouble. He allegedly stole a vehicle on May 21 and was charged days later with theft of the vehicle, possession of a stolen vehicle, two counts of second-degree trespassing and one count of resisting arrest.

While being held in Garfi eld County, Terry assaulted a deputy and was found guilty of this crime and sentenced to 43 months in prison.

If Terry is found guilty again, he could face up to seven years in prison because of the time he needs to serve from previous convictions.
