| A Grantsville man plead guilty this week in Calhoun Magistrate Court to charges filed against him early this year for the destruction of personal property.
Christopher Todd Smith, 38, who is currently in jail on multiple other charges, was sentenced on charges related to the destruction of property belonging to Grantsville Mayor Gary Knight.
Smith was sentenced to 30 days in Central Regional Jail with credit for time served and fined $165.80 costs.
He has also been charged with retaliation against a witness, a felony, after allegedly shooting out a window of a mobile home belonging to Sterling Alfred Lamp.
Lamp, according to the complaint, had been a witness in a 2007 drug case against Smith.
Smith was sentenced to at least one year in jail in that drug case.
A criminal complaint filed against Smith last April, related to the alleged theft of cemetery memorials from Bethlehem Cemetery, has been sent to Calhoun Circuit Court.
Smith has been charged with retaliation against a public official, Patsy McCartney, who serves locally as the Adult Probation Officer.
Smith was recently indicted on three larceny charges in Lewis County.
He is also the subject of a federal grand jury investigation related to the death of his girlfriend Kelli Lawson last December.
