A Worthington man, convicted on Wednesday of drunk driving, was sentenced to 90 days in the county jail but had an extra 30 days tacked on after the judge found him in contempt of court.

Clayton Duane Langley, 27, was arrested on June 23 by Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy Heather Wood, then charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person, a Class A misdemeanor; operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a Class C misdemeanor; and resisting law enforcement, a Class A misdemeanor.

Details about the arrest were posted earlier – read that story that’s reposted below.

In mid-July, he signed a negotiated plea agreement along with Greene County Deputy Public Defender David Hunter and Deputy Prosecutor Cheryl Stone and a change of plea and sentencing hearing was scheduled for Wednesday, August 15.

During the hearing early Wednesday, in Greene Superior Court, the court accepted the agreement and Langley changed his plea to guilty of operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person, a Class A misdemeanor. The other two counts were dismissed.

With Judge Dena Martin presiding, Langley was sentenced to 90 days in the county jail. He was given credit for 45 day already served.

But that’s not all. He also facing some jail time for contempt because when he was arrested and arrived at the Greene County Jail, he refused a chemical test so a search warrant for a blood draw was requested, and granted. Langley refused to comply with the court order and attempts to get a blood draw were halted due to safety concerns.

During his sentencing hearing, the judge found Langley in contempt of court and wrote in her finding that his refusal was a deliberate intention to defy the authority of the court and his behavior was done in disrespect and against the dignity of the court.

For contempt of court, the judge sentenced him to 30 additional days in the county jail with no bond and no good time credit. He was given credit for nine days already served. The judge specified that he will not start serving the contempt sentence until after the other is completed.

Couple’s birthday celebration ends with trip to jail

A couple had been out at a bar celebrating the woman’s birthday. Then officers spotted his vehicle driving left of center. Actually they said he was heading west in an eastbound lane in Bloomfield. He failed sobriety testing then raised a ruckus while his girlfriend allegedly screamed “I’m going to jail too.” They both got to go.

Clayton Duane Langley, 27, of Worthington, and Kristin Danielle Hart, 23, of Bloomfield, were both arrested in the early morning hours of Saturday, June 23, after celebrating Hart’s June 22 birthday.

Around 1:40 a.m., Greene County Dispatch got a call about a reckless driver. Bloomfield Deputy Marshal Jordan Allor responded to the area in Bloomfield along with Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy Heather Wood and Sgt. Bobby Pierce. Deputy Davis Aerne and Reserve Deputy Just later responded to assist.

In probable cause affidavits prepared by Deputy Wood, she said they spotted the vehicle on Spring Street driving left of center. Lights and sirens. She said officers detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage and Langley immediately said he had been at a bar drinking.

A records check revealed Langley had been issued an Indiana identification card but his drivers license was suspended.

Langley was asked to step outside his vehicle and Sgt. Pierce administered standard field sobriety tests but Langley did not pass any and said he would consent to a chemical test.

Deputy Wood reported that when Langley was handcuffed and in a patrol vehicle, he began screaming and yelling then repeatedly banged his head off the patrol car window. He was removed from the vehicle to prevent him from harming himself or the equipment. But then he tried to break loose and began kicking, still screaming loudly and cursing at officers.

As this fuss was going on, Wood said Hart, who was still in Langley’s vehicle, started screaming at officers, said “I’m going to jail too,” and was getting out to go toward Langley. She was advised to stay in the vehicle but she kept attempting to get out – they held her door shut and she continued to yell.

Langley was taken to jail but was reportedly unruly on the way and disruptive to staff at the jail.

When a tow truck arrived to tow Langley’s vehicle, then Hart refused to get out of the vehicle, began yelling again, this time saying “Just take me to jail.” She was taken into custody and booked in to jail by Deputy Wood.

When Hart appears for her initial hearing, she will be charged with refusal to aid an officer, a Class B misdemeanor.

When Langley appears for his initial hearing, he will be charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person, a Class A misdemeanor; operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a Class C misdemeanor; and resisting law enforcement, a Class A misdemeanor.
