WINNEMUCCA - Probation was revoked Monday for a local man who threatened a girl with a knife last year at Lowry High School.
Jamie Sam, 20, admitted to 6th District Judge Michael Montero that he violated various conditions of his probation concerning weapons, controlled substances, employment and anger management counseling, among others.
Sam pleaded guilty to a gross misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon in August 2011 and was sentenced to 12 months in jail in October. The jail sentence was suspended and Sam was placed on 36 months of probation.
On Monday, the judge ordered Sam to finish out the rest of the 12-month sentence in the Humboldt County Detention Center for the probation violations. He was given credit for 133 days.
According to court documents, Sam was arguing with a group of young people at the high school in February of 2011 when he pulled out a knife.
Public Defender Matt Stermitz told the court Monday that Sam basically just wants to serve out the rest of his underlying jail sentence.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Kevin Pasquale said Sam hasn't been able to comply with the rules during the four months he's been on probation. A representative of the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation also recommended Sam's probation be revoked.
Also Monday in 6th District Court, Timothy Seay, 49, pleaded guilty to a charge of burglary.
Seay acknowledged he broke into an office on Bridge Street in Winnemucca last November.
Sentencing was set for May 14 and he faces a possible 1 to 10 years in prison.[[In-content Ad]]
