Clinton County defendant Colton Randolph sentenced after guilty plea in serious-assault and fleeing case
Summary
Colton Randolph pleaded guilty to multiple counts including first-degree assault and fleeing or evading; the court described serious victim injuries and imposed multi-year terms with credit for time served, as read into the record during the plea and sentencing colloquy.
Colton Randolph appeared and entered guilty pleas to charges that included first-degree assault and fleeing or evading. During the proceeding the court described the victim’s injuries — including a broken pelvis and ruptured bladder — and accepted the pleas and the Commonwealth’s recommended sentences as read on the record.
The Commonwealth recited recommended terms: a sentence of 10 years for fleeing or evading first degree and a 15-year term for first-degree assault, along with an additional three-year term referenced in the plea discussion. The court explained how the sentences would run (concurrent and consecutive components were read into the record) and noted that the defendant would receive credit for time already served. The judge accepted the plea and scheduled any further procedural steps as required by the presentence process.
The case record in court shows the judge advised the defendant of constitutional rights before accepting the plea; the defendant acknowledged those rights and confirmed the plea was voluntary. The court’s oral statement and the victim-impact description were the primary facts recited in open court.
