Simmons and her co-defendants, William Henry Kisner Jr. and Kristal Lynn Mercer, were indicted in January. The case of a juvenile who was also involved in the crime spree is being handled separately under juvenile law. Simmons' indictment included two additional counts of conspiracy, one additional count of burglary and two counts of grand larceny that were dropped through her plea agreement with Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Perri DeChristopher. Mercer's indictment contained five additional counts of burglary, three counts of conspiracy and two counts of grand larceny, all of which were dropped through her plea agreement with DeChristopher. In that agreement, DeChristopher recommends prison sentences of one to 10 years on each burglary charge, but does not object to Clawges making the sentences run concurrently.
Mercer remains free on bond pending sentencing.
Wednesday, Judge Robert B. Stone accepted a guilty plea by county jail inmate Derek Joshua Mooney to a felony charge of conspiracy. An additional felony charge of grand larceny that appeared in Mooney's January indictment was dropped through his plea ag reement with DeChristopher. She remains free on bond pending sentencing.
