Beckley woman faces additional time

By Michelle James
Register-Herald reporter

A 36-year-old Beckley woman who last week received concurrent sentences of one to 10 years and five years faces an additional one to 10 years after pleading guilty Friday in Raleigh County Circuit Court to a forgery count. Tina Harrah was sentenced by Judge H.L. Kirkpatrick on Aug. 26 for violating her probation.

Friday’s plea, which was entered before Judge John Hutchison, stemmed from an Aug. 29, 2007, incident during which she attempted to pass a stolen, forged check at City National Bank.

As part of her plea deal, Prosecutor Larry Frail said the state will stand mute when it comes time for Hutchison to decide if Harrah’s new sentence will run consecutively or concurrently with her other sentences.

------

Tonya Durgan, 48, of Beckley, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, cocaine.

Frail said Durgan, on Feb. 7, 2007, arranged a drug buy with a confidential informant for the Beckley Police Department’s drug unit.

Durgan, Frail said, invited the informant to her home where he was sold $120 in cocaine base from her then-boyfriend Jerome Law. The transaction was recorded.

Both Harrah and Durgan will be sentenced Oct. 27.
