FLOYD -- A former Floyd County prosecutor accused of taking the computer hard drives from his office after failing in his bid to keep his job has agreed to perform 100 hours of community service to avoid a criminal trial.
The former commonwealth's attorney, Gordon E. Hannett Jr., also agreed in Floyd General District Court today to pay the county $3,500 in restitution for the hard drives, which have never been recovered.
Hannett and his attorney, Chris Kowalczuk of Roanoke, left the courtroom without comment after reaching the deal with Vaught to avoid trial.
Hannett has been charged with six misdemeanors three counts of petty larceny and three counts of disabling computer software. Under the terms of the agreement, the charges will be dropped if Hannett does the 100 hours of community service and pays the $3,500 by April 16.
