WAYNESBURG – A Masontown woman who pleaded guilty Wednesday to driving under the influence of alcohol, her second offense in 10 years, was sentenced to 5 days to 5 years in jail by Greene County Judge Farley Toothman.

Catherine Mary Glad, 54, of 225 Smithfield Road, was arrested July 21 following a traffic stop on Route 88 in Jefferson Township. She had a blood-alcohol content of 0.096 percent. She also pleaded guilty to two summary traffic violations.

Glad was permitted to serve her sentence on weekends. The start of her sentence was deferred until Jan. 31. Glad was fined $350, ordered to perform 225 hours of community service and to undergo random drug and alcohol testing. She is prohibited from purchasing, possessing or being near alcoholic beverages.

Terrence Robert Speirs, 37, of Hibbs, pleaded guilty to unsworn falsification to authorities. A charge of sale or transfer of a firearm was withdrawn by prosecutors. He was placed on probation for one year, fined $1,000 and ordered to perform 75 hours of community service.

On July 18, Speirs attempted to purchase a handgun at the Dry Tavern True Value Hardware. He was prohibited from purchasing a firearm because of a 1995 drug conviction.

Speirs told the state police he didn’t know how long the conviction would stay on his record. In the job he has held for the last two years in the drilling industry, he said, he travels frequently.

Benny Lee Wharton, 44, of 1709 Sugar Valley Road, Friendly, W.Va., pleaded guilty to DUI, second offense in 10 years, and two summary traffic violations.

Arrested June 2, on Route 21 in Franklin Township, Wharton had a BAC of 0.131 percent. He will be sentenced later.
