CLEARFIELD – Barring any changes, a local defense attorney may find himself on the defensive on Monday.
Steve Jarrett is scheduled for a bench trial before the Honorable J. Michael Williamson at the Clearfield County Courthouse Monday at 9 a.m. Jarrett is charged with carrying a firearm without a license, a felony that carries a maximum punishment of seven years in jail and a $15,000 fine. Jarrett is also charged with terroristic threats, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of five years in jail and a maximum fine of $10,000; simple assault, maximum two years in jail and a $5,000 fine; and harassment, one year in jail and a $2,500 fine.
Jarrett is accused of pointing a gun at a woman’s chest on Dec. 23, 2005. The charges were bound over to court after a preliminary hearing in August.
