Sentencing Delayed For Two Pike Teens.
A Pike County Circuit Court Judge has postponed formal sentencing for Michael Damron and Jacob Ratliff. Both men pleaded guilty to several charges stemming from the teens shooting and killing several horses last year.
The court has set a sentencing date for April 4th. The two men struck a deal with the Commonwealth that they must pay $ 25,000 each in restitution by the sentencing date in exchange for a six month jail term and four and a half years probation.
Ratliff has met the payment , however, Damron has not.
The Commonwealth stated that the two teens have violated the terms of the deal and they want the plea withdrawn.
However, the judge decided to give the teens two extra weeks to come up with the rest of the payment.
Both Ratliff and Damron have served two months in jail.
