Nelsonville woman sentenced on several charges

A Nelsonville woman has been sentenced in her jury trial after being found guilty on several charges last week.

Dorothy Dillon, 40, formerly of Poplar St., was sentenced Wednesday in Athens County Common Pleas Court.

Judge Alan Goldsberry sentenced Dillon to 10 years for both one count of aggravated burglary and for one count of complicity of aggravated robbery, both first-degree felonies, said C. David Warren, Athens County prosecuting attorney. Dillon received eight years for both one count of complicity of felonious assault and one count complicity of kidnapping, second-degree felonies, he said.

These are the maximum sentences for the charges.

Dillon's sentences for the complicity of felonious assault, complicity of kidnapping and complicity of aggravated robbery charges will be served concurrently. The 10-year aggravated burglary sentence is to be served in addition, meaning Dillon will serve 20 years, Warren said.

Dillon's charges stemmed from a July 30 incident in which Dillion, her son Hi Hogan Dillon Jr., 18, also formerly Poplar St., and alleged accomplice Malcolm Cornell are accused of robbing a Nelsonville man of between $800 and $1,000.
