In a recent court session, a plea agreement was reached involving Lamont Carter, who faced charges stemming from a dispute with a long-term tenant, William Carter. The altercation reportedly involved threats exchanged between the two parties, with Lamont Carter allegedly swinging a cane during the confrontation.
During the proceedings, it was clarified that Lamont Carter, the defendant, is 76 years old and currently disabled, relying on limited income from Uber driving. He expressed his intention to return to Kentucky after resolving his legal matters. Notably, the alleged victim, William Carter, indicated he did not wish for Lamont to face jail time, highlighting the complex nature of their relationship.
The court accepted Lamont Carter's guilty plea, merging several counts against him. He was sentenced to serve 20 days, with credit for time already served, and the remaining balance of his sentence will be probated. Additionally, he is required to complete an anger management course and perform 20 hours of community service at a specified location. Given his financial situation, the court waived supervision fees, allowing him to return home shortly after the hearing.
