HAYESVILLE
Plea man’s last chance
With his plea this week in Clay County Superior Court, a Hayesville man will face substantial prison time if he offends yet again.
Jake Scott Davies, 44, admitted to six felonies: larceny; breaking and entering; flee, elude, arrest; possession of stolen goods; and possession of methamphetamine. He also admitted to a probation violation and pleaded guilty to three, lesser misdemeanor offenses: assault on government official, possession of stolen goods and breaking and entering.
