A local man

has been sentenced to 300 days in jail for several violations of county

development regulations, including two counts of ignoring stop work orders

issued by county staff.

A jury in Fayette

County State Court found Anthony J. Carter guilty of violating the stop

work orders, grading without a land disturbance permit, covering a sewer

system without an inspection and installing a used water line at property

he is developing on the Highway 85 connector near Massengale Road.

State Court

Judge Fletcher Sams handed down the verdict on Carter, who claimed in

court documents that his property is exempt from the land disturbance

permit and an on-site sewer management system was not installed.

Carter was

issued citations for the violations between Dec. 13 and Feb. 22.
