Ohio man sentenced to 5 years for felony OVI

On September 15, Jebb S. McKee, 48, of Coshocton, was sentenced to one felony count of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or a combination of the two, also known as OVI.

On July 16, he pled guilty to count one of the indictments, which is a third-degree felony for operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, a substance of abuse, or a combination of the two.

He was convicted for 60 months in a state correctional institution.

The definite sentence must be served for sixty days.

In imposing the maximum sentence for a third-degree high-tier felony, the court considers the defendant’s extensive criminal history, which includes a felony offense of violence, drug trafficking, a weapons charge, a prior felony conviction for OVI, and a previous failed attempt at community control following unsuccessful discharge from CBCF.

Furthermore, the court finds that the defendant violated the terms and conditions of his release by leaving treatment on August 7, 2026, and failing to tell his pretrial supervision officer.

Adult parole authority supervision after release from jail is voluntary in this circumstance for up to two years.

McKee has been suspended from driving in Class II for the rest of his life.

He must also attend and complete an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

If McKee is permitted driving privileges again, he must wear restriction plates and use an interlock ignition system.

McKee was forced to pay a fine of $1,350.

He was remanded to the custody of the Coshocton County Sheriff and sent to a state prison.

McKee has 81 days of credit for this case and will earn credit for any local jail time pending transport to a state penal institution.
