CLEARFIELD – A West Decatur man was given a lengthy state prison sentence during court Tuesday, for possessing a large quantity of methamphetamine.
Anthony Dominic Guy, 52, pleaded guilty to felony possession with intent of a controlled substance-methamphetamine, misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia in relation to a search of his home by state parole agents in March 2023.
President Judge Fredric J. Ammerman sentenced him to serve four to eight years in state prison with 12 months consecutive re-entry probation, according to First Assistant District Attorney F. Cortez “Chip” Bell.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, state parole agents discovered a bag with suspected methamphetamine during a home inspection of his residence. They applied for a warrant and the home was searched.
This effort uncovered $9,900 in cash, an “owe sheet”, digital scales, pipes, a revolver and the bag, which had approximately 577 grams of crystal methamphetamine, according to the report.
In February 2022, Guy was sentenced to one to four years in state prison for misdemeanor simple assault and recklessly endangering another person, according to a previous article.
These charges stemmed from a robbery in Clearfield Borough in January 2021.
Police say the victim was attacked by Guy and Richard Allen Demko 28, of Northern Cambria, after parking his vehicle at his home.
Demko asked “where’s the money” and the victim refused to acknowledge the question leading to Demko taking a swing at him and then shooting him while they were on the back stoop of his home, according to the report.
The victim was able to pull himself into the residence and shut the door.
After pleading guilty, Demko was sentenced in March 2022 to serve three to six years in state prison for felony criminal attempt/robbery and 40 months to eight years for aggravated assault giving him a total minimum sentence of over six years and a maximum of 14 years.
