Carbon County court — DUI
Four people were sentenced on Tuesday in Carbon County court on driving under the influence and related charges.
President Judge Roger N. Nanovic II imposed the sentences on the defendants who previously entered guilty pleas to the charges.
Kristina Dawn Kadian, 29, of Morrisdale, Clearfield County, was sentenced to serve 72 hours to six months in jail, a fine of $1,000 and a one-year license suspension. She was also ordered to get a mental health evaluation, zero tolerance for drug and alcohol use and have no contact with the victims. She also must serve one year of probation, consecutive to the DUI count. On charges of criminal mischief and possession of drug paraphernalia she was placed on probation for a year, concurrent with the other counts.
She was arrested on May 6, 2016, at the Franklin Township police station. She came to the station in response to a domestic incident occurring previously along Indian Hill Road. At the station officers determined she was under the influence and took her for a test, which revealed the presence of a controlled substance. She was previously placed in the Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition probation program but was revoked for violating conditions.
The mischief count is tied to the domestic incident.
The drug counts stem from an incident on July 16, 2016, along Broad Street filed by Beaver Meadows police following a traffic stop.
She will begin the jail term at 6 p.m. on April 2.
Keith M. Enlund, 32, of Albrightsville, was sentenced to serve 72 hours to six months in jail, a fine of $1,000 and one-year license suspension.
He was arrested on Aug. 28, 2017, in the 700 block of Old Stage Road in Penn Forest Township by state police at Fern Ridge. A test revealed the presence of a controlled substance. He was involved in an accident and suffered injuries.
He was also ordered to make restitution of $400 to the victim.
The term runs consecutive to a probation period he is currently serving.
He will begin the jail term at 9 a.m. on April 6.
