Ottawa youth Brian Farrar 18 faced 14 and 28 month prison terms on burglary and theft charges after a mis understood plea led Franklin County District Judge Thomas H Sachse to continue sentencing to October 27. The case stems from a July pursuit across Wellsville and Ottawa with a multi jurisdiction manhunt, a K nine unit and helicopter. Nine charges were dismissed under the plea, with Farrar admitting theft of about 550 dollars from the Ottawa Recreation Commission and a July burglary. He remains jailed on 75 thousand dollars bond.
