At his sentencing hearing in Montezuma County District Court, Duece Martinez was sentenced in five cases, and six others were dismissed as part of his global plea bargain.
Martinez appeared via Webex from a 60-day inpatient treatment program he is attending.
In his first case, he was given a deferred judgment and sentence for Count 1 vehicular eluding and probation for Count 2, driving under revocation alcohol related. In accordance with his sentencing in this case, Martinez must complete an Alive at 25 class within a six-month period, complete a substance abuse evaluation and an anger management class.
In his next case, he pleaded guilty to third-degree assault as an act of domestic violence. His sentencing in this case requires him to fulfill 18 months of probation and complete a domestic violence evaluation.
He also pleaded guilty to third-degree assault, violation of a protection order, theft less than $300 and acts of domestic violence. This guilty plea requires 18 months of probation and a domestic violence evaluation.
Martinez then pleaded guilty to violating a protection order and underage drinking and driving. This particular case requires 12 months of probation, the completion of an Alive at 25 class, a substance abuse evaluation and an anger management class.
In the last case to receive sentencing, Martinez pleaded guilty to violating a protection order. He will serve 12 months of probation and complete an Alive at 25 class in addition to completing a substance abuse evaluation and an anger management class.
All the above cases require Martinez comply with all treatment recommendations after his various evaluations, as well as random urinalysis tests. His sentencing also stipulates that he complete his current treatment program and any after care recommendations from the program.
In addition, he must abstain from alcohol and illegal substances.
These sentences will all run concurrently, and the longest period of probation is 24 months. There are no future court cases set for Martinez at this point in time, District Attorney Jeremy Reed told The Journal.
Five Montezuma County cases and one Dolores County case were dismissed as part of his global plea bargain.
During his previous hearing in December, Martinez appeared via Webex from Archuleta County, where he was being held at the time. He entered guilty pleas for five out of 11 cases at that hearing.
