Two people were sentenced in Indiana County Court today.
Court documents say 24-year-old Bilal Butler was sentenced to serve time in Indiana County Jail, along with paying fines and costs, for three separate cases of forgery dating back to May 2020. Reports say Butler made two small purchases at the Indiana Giant Eagle with fake $100 bills on May 6, 2020. After making these purchases, Butler was said to have made off with the change.
Indiana County Senior Judge William Martin sentenced Butler to serve 6 to 12 months in the Indiana County Jail along with paying costs and fines. In addition, Butler will serve two years of probation for each count, with each running consecutively.
Also in Indiana County Court, President Judge Thomas Bianco sentenced 51-year-old Alberta Marsh to pay costs and fines for a drug-related incident during January of last year.
Marsh was stopped at the intersection of 5th and Maple Street in Indiana by State Police and was found to be in possession of a small amount of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
