Monroe County judge accepts Benjamin Tooley's plea and imposes probation with credit issues to be resolved
Summary
The court accepted Benjamin Tooley's guilty plea to possession of a controlled substance, first degree (first offense), and imposed a one-year sentence probated for five years; the judge noted credit for time served would be calculated and waived court costs due to time served.
The Monroe County Circuit Court accepted a guilty plea from Benjamin Tooley on a possession charge and imposed a one-year sentence, probated for five years, after reviewing the presentence investigation report and plea agreement.
At the hearing, counsel and the defendant confirmed receipt and review of the presentence investigation report. The plea called for a one-year sentence to be probated for five years and to run consecutively with other specified sentences. The court discussed credit for time served: defense counsel requested credit for arrest dates the defendant asserted should apply; the court noted time credits were under review and would be calculated by the Department of Corrections and probation. The judge also waived court costs for Tooley in light of his time served.
Court minutes reflect the agreed disposition: the sentence as described above, with the defendant to serve required incarceration days before transfer to treatment, and the probation department to prepare the presentence or processing required for sentencing and credit calculation.
No sentencing beyond the agreed plea was entered at the hearing; documentation of exact day-credit calculations was deferred to probation/COR and the court to confirm before final execution of the sentence.
