Carbon County court — ARD

Four first-time offenders in the criminal justice system were placed in Carbon County’s Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition probation program on Thursday by President Judge Roger N. Nanovic II.

If a person successfully completes all conditions of the program, their record is wiped clean. However, if they fail to complete it, or are revoked from it, then they would face trial on all pending charges. A person does not admit guilt in entering the program.

Placed were the following:

Stephanie Valey Gunther, 20, of York, York County, was placed for a year on a charge of possession of a small amount of marijuana. She was arrested on Sept. 28, 2019, by state police at Fern Ridge along Route 534 in Penn Forest Township, following a vehicle stop.

She was assessed $450 for the cost of the program and ordered to get a drug and alcohol evaluation and follow any recommendation for treatment.

Madison Reichard, 19, of Albrightsville, was placed for six months on a charge of possession of a small amount of marijuana. She was arrested at the same time with Gunther.

She was assessed $450 and ordered to get a drug and alcohol evaluation and follow any recommendation for treatment.

Bryant Reyes, 25, of Hazle Township, was placed for a year on charges driving under the influence, possession of a small amount of marijuana and six motor vehicle code violations. He was arrested by state police at Lehighton along Route 209 in Franklin Township on May 27, 2016. A test revealed the presence of a controlled substance.

He was assessed $600 for the cost of the program and had his license suspended for 60 days.

Tammy Schaub, 42, of Palmerton, was placed for six months on a charge of retail theft. She was arrested on April 26, 2019, by Mahoning Township police at the Walmart store.

She was assessed $650.

Each defendant must also pay court costs of about $1,000 and a $50 per month supervision fee while in the program.
