A Carbon County woman, who assaulted police officers, including one who missed several months of work due to injuries, was sentenced to a county prison term Monday afternoon after entering a guilty plea in the case.

Davlynn Marie Aaron, 25, of Palmerton, pleaded to one count each of aggravated and simple assault and was sentenced by Judge Joseph J. Matika to serve six to 23 months in prison. The prison term was part of a plea bargain made between Aaron and the district attorney's office which Matika called "quite generous in the court's mind" considering she tried to hurt two police offices who were trying to help her.Aaron was arrested on July 28, 2011, after police responded to the area of 515 Fifth St. for an unconscious female. Upon arrival Police Chief Randolph Smith and Officer Michael Fedor found the woman to be Aaron. The officers immediately called for medical personnel to respond to the scene.Aaron regained consciousness and became combative with the EMS personnel and police. They were able to get her into an ambulance and took her to the Palmerton hospital.She later left the hospital despite being told by the medical staff to remain. She later caused more problems with Smith and Fedor responding again.This time they attempted to place her in a police cruiser and she fought with the officers. She attempted to kick Smith and Fedor moved in to assist when she assaulted him.Fedor told Matika he missed five months of work due to injuries he sustained in the incident.Defense Attorney Stephen Vlossak Sr. told Matika that Aaron was on probation at the time in Lehigh County and is in that prison awaiting action of a probation revocation petition filed by the county's adult probation office.He said Aaron was highly intoxicated at the time and didn't remember much of what happened. He also noted she has a three yeaer on son.Aaron turned to Fedor and apologized to him, the police department and her family, stating she had caused many problems for a lot of people.In addition to the jail term Matika ordered Aaron to render 100 hours of community service when she is released on parole, make restitution to the borough's insurance carrier for $27,337.75 in medical expenses and wages paid for Fedor's injuries, get a drug and alcohol evaluation and follow any recommendation for treatment, zero tolerance imposed on D&A use, supply a DNA sample and pay the $250 fee, pay court costs, which average close to $1,000, and pay a $50 per month supervision fee while on parole.The prison term was imposed on the aggravated assault charge. On the simple assault charge she was sentenced to serve one to 12 months in jail concurrent with the first count.She was given credit for 141 days spent in jail on the charges.Gun chargeRichard Curtis Lovely, 54, of Palmerton, pleaded guilty to one count of firearm ownership-person not to possess a firearm and faces a state prison term at the time of sentencing.Lovely was arrested by state police at Lehighton for an incident on Dec. 13, 2011, at his residence along Avenue A. He had in his possession two handguns that were reported stolen.In a plea agreement the charge is rated a felony three. Because of a prior felony conviction Lovely faces a prison term of 27 to 54 months in a state prison when sentenced.Matika deferred sentencing so Lovely can make arrangements concerning ongoing medical issues he has and must work out with the state prison system.Sentencing will probably occurr in about 30 to 60 days.ARD placementJustin Neal Hoffman, 26, of Pittston, Luzerne County, and formerly of Palmerton, was placed in the county's Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition (ARD) probation program for first time offenders on a charge of theft. He was charged by Palmerton police with removing jewelry from the residence of his mother on June 18, 2010.The ARD program gives a person a chance to have his record wiped clean with he successfully completes all conditions of the program. A person does not admit guilt in entering the program.Matika placed him for a year and ordered he be assessed $500 for the cost of the program, render 50 hours of community service, get a D&A evaluation, pay court costs, $50 per month supervision fee while in the program, and make restitution of $4,545 to the victim.
