HOLLIDAYSBURG A Claysburg man will be on probation for 14 years in exchange for guilty pleas to criminal charges filed in August 2018 when he was accused of sexually assaulting an ex-girlfriend in Greenfield Township.
Kevin R. Weyandt, 48, recently entered guilty pleas in Blair County Court to charges of simple assault, strangulation, recklessly endangering another person, terroristic threats, unlawful restraint and criminal trespassing, all graded as misdemeanors.
Felony charges of rape, burglary, kidnapping, strangulation and sexual assault were among the charges dismissed.
Based on the negotiated plea, Weyandt’s 14-year probationary period has started. It was imposed to follow county prison incarceration of five months and five days to a maximum of one year. Information rendered in Blair County Court indicated that Weyandt has completed his incarceration.
Miller
MARTINSBURG Paul Aaron Ross’ plea to third-degree murder gave Pamela Sunderland satisfaction that she hasn’t had since her daughter’s death in 2004.
Ross charged with killing and sexually assaulting 26-year-old Tina S. Miller of Hollidaysburg entered no contest pleas on Tuesday in Blair County Court.
“I know (Ross) said ‘no contest’ in court, but that’s just a legal term,” Sunderland said at her Martinsburg home on Friday.
“To me, he can never again say that he is innocent,” she said.
While some defendants render no contest pleas to avoid admitting guilt in court, Pennsylvania law treats no contest pleas as convictions, with no distinction in sentencing procedures.

HOLLIDAYSBURG A state appellate judge has agreed with a Blair County court ruling allowing a Hollidaysburg Borough councilman to amend his candidate’s petition to get his name on the May 18 ballot.
Based on a recent ruling by Commonwealth Court President Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt, candidate Sean Burke can be on the ballot for the 4th Ward council seat.
Leavitt’s ruling affirmed a decision Clearfield County Judge Paul E. Cherry rendered in late March on behalf of Blair County Court.
Cherry, who convened a court hearing to review objections to Burke’s candidate petition, concluded that Burke could cure a defect by amending his petition to include a signing date that was mistakenly omitted.
