Marthasville Alderman Christopher DeVore last week entered a guilty plea to resolve the last of six misdemeanor charges for violating a court protection order. A Jefferson County judge assigned DeVore one year of unsupervised probation and ordered him to have no contact with the person who has a protection order against him.
The Jefferson County case alleged that in February 2020, DeVore made threatening statements via phone and Facebook directed at the protected person. A misdemeanor charge was filed against DeVore in Jefferson County in March 2020.
Less than a month later, DeVore was appointed to the Marthasville Board of Aldermen following the resignation of Gene Jenkins. In June 2020, DeVore was elected unopposed to a two-year term on the board.
The case against DeVore in Jefferson County was delayed numerous times because of COVID-19.
The one-year probation from Jefferson County overlaps with probation DeVore was already serving for multiple similar charges out of Franklin County. Authorities there had filed five charges of violating a court order involving the same victim around the same time period.
In October 2020, DeVore pleaded guilty to a reduced count of three misdemeanor charges, and was sentenced by a Franklin County Judge to two years of supervised probation.
