HART — A 21-year-old Hart man was sentenced in 27th Circuit Court, Sept. 11, to serve 16 months to two years in prison for violating his probation.
Austin Michael Nead, of 1900 E. Hammett Rd., was on probation for an Aug. 26, 2013 conviction of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct (CSC), according to court records. Judge Robert D. Springstead gave Nead credit for 346 days served in jail.
As a convicted sex offender, Nead violated his probation by attending a party where a minor child was present, Springstead stated.
“You will have an opportunity to get out of prison fairly quickly,” the judge said to Nead due to his jail credit.
Nead was also ordered to pay $198 in fines and costs, along with $3,724 for tether and alcohol monitoring due to the probation and parole department. Nead’s probation was revoked.
