Teen sentenced to jail, probation

ESCANABA — A Gladstone teen was sentenced to one year in jail and five years probation in Delta County Circuit Court Wednesday, after pleading no contest for his role in a sexual assault case that involved a codefendant.

Dylan Michael-Patrick McDonough, 19, of Gladstone, was found guilty after pleading no contest to one count criminal sexual conduct – second degree. McDonough pleaded no contest on July 23 after accepting a plea agreement.

“This sentencing here today is about what the appropriate sentence is for you, given your background, given what you did on this particular event, and accomplishing the goals that a court needs to accomplish at the time of sentencing. Those goals are punishment of the defendant — that is you (McDonough) — for the offense that you’ve committed, rehabilitation for you to the extent that it is needed and necessary, protecting society from you to the extent that’s reasonable and necessary, and deterring others from committing these types of offenses,” Dickinson County Circuit Court Judge Mary Barglind said.

McDonough was found guilty in assisting his codefendant, Hunter Grizz Gallagher, 18, of Gladstone, in a sexual assault that took place in June 2017 in Gladstone.
