Joe E. Speer was convicted of Theft, a Level 6 Felony, in April of 2022 and sentenced to serve 545 days of supervised probation. In addition, Mr. Speer had to work toward getting a high school equivalency certificate, obtain gainful employment and complete 80 hours of community service. On August 5, 2022, a petition to revoke probation was filed. Speer had failed to show up to numerous appointments, had not obtained employment, nor could he prove that he had been trying to obtain employment.

Additionally, Speer failed to take any steps toward obtaining his high school equivalency certificate. Arp stated, “Speer was given every opportunity to improve his life and not be a burden to the Lawrence County taxpayer, unfortunately he chose not to take his situation serious, and Judge Plummer sentenced him accordingly”.
