On Monday, Aug. 18, one plea took place in the 100th Judicial District Court in Donley County.

Luke Inman, the District Attorney for the 100th Judicial District, along with Assistant District Attorney Harley Caudle, prosecuted the case for the State of Texas, with the Honorable Judge Dale Rabe, Jr., presiding.

Bralen Malika Austin, 28, from Weymouth, Ark., was sentenced to five years in prison for the third degree felony offense of evading arrest in a motor vehicle, with a deadly weapon.
