NEWPORT – A 40-yearold Newport man was sentenced to over four years in prison for malicious mischief and possession of a stolen vehicle in Pend Oreille County District Court Thursday, Aug. 21. Ryan Apling pled guilty to malicious mischief in the first degree and two counts of possession of a stolen vehicle. In exchange for the pleas, several other charges were dismissed or amended. Apling received a 45 month sentence for possession of the stolen vehicles and a 25.5 month sentence for first degree malicious mischief. The sentences are to be served concurrently.
District Court Judge Robin McCroskey, acting in her role as superior court commissioner, cautioned Apling that he should strive to make sure this latest encounter with the courts should be his last.
