The Daily Jeffersonian
A man accused of stealing a half-dozen firearms from a Cambridge resident less than 24 hours after the gun owner died will be sentenced for his crimes on May 6 in the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court.
Joseph S. Nicholson, 26, Cambridge, entered negotiated guilty pleas to single counts of grand theft (property is a firearm or dangerous ordnance), a third-degree felony; violation of fireworks manufacture prohibition, a third-degree felony; and breaking and entering, a fifth-degree felony.
He was one of several individuals who recently appeared for criminal hearings in the common pleas court.
