SALINE CO.— A Harrisburg man already serving a probation sentence of 12 months handed him July 21 following a conviction for Domestic Battery has been jailed for violating an Order of Protection.
Authorities say that on November 8, Cody Braxton Hamby, 34, of 421 West Sloan St., Harrisburg, committed the offense when he went to his mother’s house to take a shower.
The trouble began when cops were contacted by Kirk Wagner reporting that Hamby was on his property at 3475 Highway 13 despite an active order of protection prohibiting him from being within 500 feet of the property.
A report filed in the case shows that Hamby was located and informed officers that he “wanted to go to his mom’s and take a shower.”
His mother lives at the Highway 13 address.
While he was being taken into custody for violating the OP, police say they found a plastic baggie in his right front pocket.
The contents of that baggie tested positive for methamphetamine.
Hamby’s criminal history includes a conviction January 3, 2008 for Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Unlawful Possession of Cannabis, for which he was sentenced to 150 days in the county jail, probation for 12 months and cost him $2,428 in fines and fees.
He earned himself a felony trip to the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) with a December 9, 2009 conviction for Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine Precursors.
The original sentence was probation for 36 months but with a revocation granted February 2012, he was re-sentenced to IDOC for four years.
He still owes $94.38 in fines and fees from that case.
In addition to the Violation of an Order of Protection, Hamby was charged with Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine.
It doesn’t appear as if the domestic problems are going to get better anytime soon as Hamby listed the Highway 13 address as his residence on his affidavit of assets and liabilities.
Cash bond in the case of the unmarried, unemployed 30-something-year-old has been set at $1,000.
