McCoy sentences Curry to 20 months in jail

Billy Aaron Curry of Clarendon was sentenced to 20 months in a state jail last Thursday, July 18, by District Judge David McCoy.

Curry, age 20, breached a condition of his probation when he violated the rules and regulations of the North Central Texas Restitution Center in Wichita Falls where he was residing as a condition of probation.

“The Restitution Center is a residential facility which helps defendants find jobs in the Wichita Falls area,” said District Attorney Stuart Messer.

“The paycheck they earn is returned to the county to pay for fines, court costs, and restitution that has been ordered by the court as a condition of probation.

“Of course, while a defendant is at the Restitution Center, he must obey all of the rules and regulations of the Center in order to stay out of prison.”
