Circuit Judge hands sentences down

A 38-year-old Marion man was among a handful of people sentenced to prison today by Circuit Judge Rene Williams.

Jason Rushing entered a guilty plea for resisting arrest and possession of meth in a late 2016 case and was sentenced to three years in prison. 

A handful of others were sentenced Thursday or had their probations revoked.

The judge also set bond at $55,000 cash for 31-year-old Brian Fitzgerald, who was indicted today multiple felony charges in connection with an alleged crime spree last winter and a manhunt that ended with his arrest in Florida. Fitzgerald completed his sentence on convictions stemming from his arrest in Florida and was brought back to Kentucky a couple of weeks ago. He is lodged in the Crittenden County Detention Center.
