A Carroll man accused of crafting weapons while in custody at the Carroll County jail has filed a written guilty plea to one of the felony charges levied against him. Carroll County District Court records show 30-year-old Brice Edward Shrimpton submitted his plea Thursday to a single count of possession of a weapon in a correctional facility, a class C felony. Shrimpton was indicted in March after authorities located a toothbrush that had been sharpened into a shiv in his jail cell on March 14 and a makeshift plexiglass knife hidden under his mattress on Feb. 23. At the time, Shrimpton was awaiting sentencing related to a February burglary conviction. He was sentenced to up to 10 years in prison on that class C felony charge. Shrimpton faces the possibility of an additional 10 years of incarceration for this latest charge. A plea acceptance hearing has been scheduled for Monday, May 17.

The second trial for a Lake City man charged in Carroll County District Court with drug trafficking has been scheduled for this summer. According to court records, 33-year-old Nicholas Russell Pickering’s not guilty plea to possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, a class C felony, was filed last week, and a judge has signed an order setting his jury trial to begin on Tuesday, July 13 with a pretrial conference June 28. Pickering was arrested on Feb. 17 by the Carroll Police Department after he was found to be in possession of narcotics, unused baggies and a scale. Pickering was scheduled to go to trial next week on a separate drug trafficking charge. However, an order scheduling a plea hearing for May 3 was filed Monday, so it is unlikely that case will go before a jury. Between the two charges, Pickering faces a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison and $20,000 in fines.
