James T. Underberg already has served a year in the Douglas County Jail.
On Tuesday, Judge Robert Fairchild ordered him to spend another year under lock and key. He sentenced Underberg to three one-year sentences but said the third year only would be served if the 56-year-old Baldwin man violated two years of probation.
Under the plea agreement Underberg worked out with district attorneys, his defense lawyer David Brown argues, "(Underberg) understood the district attorney's office and his attorney would ask the court to impose two concurrent one-year sentences and to impose one one-year sentence consecutive to the first two sentences. Further, he understood he would receive credit for time served and be placed on probation for the balance of the sentence imposed."
