True to form, Tuesday's Criminal Day at 15-1-01 was very slow, with not even one single preliminary hearing. Of the 8 cases listed on the docket, two were continued, 4 defendants waived their preliminary hearings, and the remaining two charges reduced. The lone highlight was the arraignment of a 25-year-old East Goshen man on assault and robbery charges.
Corey Ashton Barr was arrested Monday night by West Goshen Police on 19 separate counts, including - 3 counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance, 2 counts of Robbery, 2 counts of Harassment, 2 counts of Disorderly Conduct, and 1 count each of Aggravated Assault, Terroristic Threats, Theft from a Motor Vehicle, Reckless Endangerment, Loitering/Prowling, Simple Assault, Possession of a Weapon, Possession of an Instrument of Crime, Theft by Unlawful Taking and Receiving Stolen Property. He was committed to Chester County Prision in lieu of $10,000 bail and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing next Thursday at District Court 15-2-03 in West Goshen in front of Senior MJD Susan Welch (former Honey Brook District Judge); who is presiding over 15-2-03 after the recent retirement of J. Peter Winther.
At the time of his arrest, Barr was on probation for several theft offenses in a case out of West Whiteland. He had faced 13 counts of Recieving Stolen Property, 10 counts each of Theft by Unlawful Taking and Prowling, and 5 counts of Criminal Mischief (15-2-07; CR-0000037-06); he had pled guilty to 2 counts of Theft and was given time served to 23 months in jail, plus 2 years probation post-release (CP-15-CR-0002153-2006).
I guess old habits (allegedly) die hard...
