Three

men were handed down prison sentences Friday in

Fayette Superior Court after entering guilty

pleas in separate cases.

Juarez

Dru Claytor pled guilty to two counts of forgery

in the first degree, two counts of forgery in the

second degree, and one misdemeanor count of

giving a false name.

According

to prosecutors, he was arrested April 18 at the

Publix supermarket in Fayetteville after

attempting to pass a bad check using the name of

Harry Perkins. He had a false identification card

with his own photograph and Perkins' name on it.

Also

found in his possession were checks in the same

name made out to Office Depot.

Claytor

was sentenced by Judge Johnnie Caldwell to five

years on each first-degree forgery count and two

years to serve on each second-degree count. He

got 12 months for the misdemeanor charge. All

sentences will run concurrently.

Edward

Harold Losey pled guilty to possession of a

firearm by a convicted felon and driving with a

suspended driver's license. He was picked up last

year on a traffic violation and a gun was found

in his car.

Losey

received five years on the firearm charge and 12

months, to run concurrently, on the driver's

license charge.

Leonard

Ray Nash pled guilty to possession of

methamphetamine in relation to a May 11 arrest at

the Waffle House in Fayetteville. He was

initially picked up due to an outstanding warrant

from another county.

Nash

was sentenced to five years, with three years to

serve, and must undergo drug counseling while on
