SIDNEY – The second of a city couple, who were roommates and co-defendants on drug-related charges, will now be a resident with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC).

In other cases, ruled on in Shelby County Common Pleas Court, the co-defendant in a child endangering case entered a guilty plea to an amended charge; and a Sidney woman received a three-year prison sentence for theft.

On Monday, Roma D. Teglas, 41, was sentenced to 18 months at the Marysville Reformatory for Women on a charge of attempted illegal conveyance of drugs into a detention facility, a fourth-degree felony by Judge James Stevenson.

On April 5, 2017, Teglas and her co-defendant, Eric D. Root, 38, resided at 523 N. Miami Ave., when drug enforcement officers raided their home. Root was found to be preparing methamphetamine for sale. As officers searched the residence, he reportedly tried to flush drugs down a toilet.

Later that day, Teglas was found to have fentanyl in her sock during her arrest at the Shelby County Jail.

Teglas, who was living in Troy when sentenced this week, received the prison term due to probation violations. According to online court records, probation officers reported Teglas tested positive for drugs and failed to report to officers as ordered.

Root is currently serving a 17-month sentence at Madison Correctional Institution on a charge of trafficking in drugs, a fourth-degree felony.

Cases for another Sidney couple charged in connection with injuries to an infant were adjudicated recently. The pair are also co-defendants in a second case.

On July 30, Blake Owen Stephens, 21, 303 N. West Ave., pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted child endangering, a fifth-degree felony. He was charged with injuring the child.

He will be facing a maximum of 12 months in prison and a $2,500 fine when sentenced on Sept. 26.

Stephens is currently serving 18 months with the ODRC on charges of theft, a fifth-degree felony, and, safecracking, a fourth-degree felony stemming from a Dec. 22, 2016, break-in at a Fort Loramie residence.

On Monday, his then-roommate, Tiffany Ann Roe, 28, entered a guilty plea to a charge of attempted obstruction of justice, a first-degree misdemeanor. She gave misleading statements and attempted to conceal the location of Stephens during the child endangerment investigation on March 29.

When sentenced, she will be facing a maximum penalty of 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. She was placed on a $2,500 bond.

In the second case, on July 30, Roe was placed on a $5,000 bond when she was found guilty of probation violations. She was originally found guilty of theft, a fifth-degree felony, and safecracking, a fourth-degree felony, through plea negotiations.

The charges are linked to Stephens’ case from a Dec. 22, 2016, break-in at a Fort Loramie residence.

She remains incarcerated at the county jail.
