Schuylkill County Judge Christopher Hobbs recently ruled on three cases.

Hobbs placed Osty in the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program for 12 months. Entry into the program is not an admission of guilt, and defendants’ records may be cleared if they successfully complete the program.

Hobbs ordered Osty to pay $50 a month for the cost of supervision, and $350 to defray the cost of the program. She must also pay $537.42 in restitution to the victim, and complete 10 hours of community service.
