Scott Way sentenced today, 06.19.10: Lambert gives him “options”
Scott Way, from his MySpace, posing with random people who are barely wearing their clothes. Classy, Scott. Classy.
UPDATE!
SALINE CO.—Scott Way, former teacher/coach at Hardin Co. schools (until he was busted with copious amounts of dope and paraphernalia in his home and particularly, his freezer, in 2007), has been sentence today, June 19, in Saline County Circuit Court.
Way was found guilty in 2009, after spending more than a year in the Saline County Detention Center, upon a plea of guilty to a charge of possession of cocaine. Because he had no criminal record, he received one of the lightest sentences possible: 4 years probation.
Naturally, he mucked that up later in the year, when on three separate occasions, during random as well as scheduled drug tests, Way tested hot for cocaine, his drug of choice. His probation was revoked and after subsequent hearings, he was scheduled to be sentence on the original charge, first in May, which was continued, then today.
Party hearty, dood...prolly hoping the chick in the back seat is almost wearing HER clothes, too...
Assistant State’s Attorney Jason Olson this morning asked Judge Todd Lambert to sentence Way to 12 years DOC. Lambert didn’t see the need for that, and instead gave Way the option: he could do 4 years DOC, or 120 days in a boot camp in Pope County.
Neither Way nor his attorney (Bryan Drew, husband of Second Circuit judge Melissa Drew) have indicated exactly what Way will be doing with his future, but Saline State’s Attorney Mike Henshaw says he’s done the math, and what with good time, time served at SCDC, and other considerations (like credit for rehab), Way would be smart to take the DOC gig…because after inprocessing, he’ll be spending about 90 days there.
Apparently, 90 days is preferable to someone like Way, who isn’t, according to reports, exactly boot camp material.
To exacerbate the whole matter, YESTERDAY, it’s been confirmed to Disclosure by officials in Saline County, Way tested positive on yet ANOTHER piss test, again for cocaine. “Apparently, he’s lost his mind,” a former friend of Way’s in Saline texted to Disclosure this morning, “testing hot for cocaine the day before sentencing.”
There’s been no word on whether this new positive test will have any bearing on Way’s future, or how he’s going to proceed with his nice choices Lambert was kind enough to give him.
Officials have confirmed that Way was remanded to the custody of the Saline County Sheriff’s department today following the sentencing hearing. He will be held for 30 days’ inprocessing at Menard, during which time he will have to make the decision as to which of the nice choices he gets will be the one he takes.
Ugh. He gets any uglier even the Bubbas at Menard won't want him....

Four years in DOC, according to the DR.
Can’t say he wasn’t given a fair chance to stay out of trouble…
Yeah we just got a report….we’re in the middle of house errands right now so just as soon as we get back on the road, we’ll get the details up. Disgusting, really.
lol He FAILED another test and he only got 4 years probation? Good to see it’s business as usual in the ‘burg.
Pardon me for my thread derail, but is the girl in the picture a Euro? I can’t tell if she’s just filthy and needs a shower or if she needs to shave her pits. Remember: good grooming is important even for party whores!
the first thing i dont understand is , way’s drug tests are NOT random. i mean how stupid can you be?! if you have a meeting with your P.O. on a certain day, you KNOW you r going to get dropped, soooo dont use prior to going. plain and simple….girl in the photo isnt just a “random girl” nor is she a euro or dirty..think its just a shadow. lol
Actually, the official we received the info from said ‘random’ but he might have been referring to the previous tests. I may just have to pull that off there until I confirm for sure…it’s very likely it WAS a scheduled test, and he still did coke within however many days/horus before. I believe it was right here on these very web pages we postulated that his brain was fried, anyway….
soap on a rope my friend.
Agreed I hate a dirty party whore….I mean come on what’s the world coming to…when you pay good….. money dole out the yayo and then they don’t clean up between jobs?
The girl in the pic is rachael holmgren…former dope headed states attorney David nelson’s niece
OMG what is holding up that dress!! lol Sounds like Mr Way thinks he’s above the law or just doesn’t give a f**k!
his dad is a god in hbg. therefore, he is the son of god. you’re right, it’s disgusting.
Wow. Since when does the criminal have any say in their punishment? I may not necessarily agree that 12 years is appropriate either, I mean, a guy in Hardin County only got 15 years for trying to kill his wife and was convicted of Aggravated Battery with a Firearm. But I definitely think Way needs more time and shouldn’t get the courtesy of choosing his poison. No wonder people run wild here.
The question is probably: did Lambert stand to gain some ‘favor’ (not something tangible, but a position of favor, if even in the eyes of the Ways only) by giving this pissant of a sentence? We’ve had a couple of people express that to us already, not here on the forum, but in person. WTH is Lambert doing and why?
Even more proof that as the years have passed, Saline County has gotten only MORE corrupt than it was growing up there. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that every public agency over there has a hand in the drug pool and the only “fight for justice” over there is more like a “rumble for turf”. It’s sad and to be honest the whole damn place should just be wiped out at election time and started fresh.
Now THAT’S the best suggestion I’ve heard all week!!!
I AGREE!!!!
HAHAHAHA…yeah, ok.
I am so glad that I got out of that hell whole when I did. What really cracks me up is how Abby Alleci is in all these pictures I thought her parents raised her better than that.
If you have not noticed, no first timers ever get real time. It usually takes several felony arrests to get a twelve year sentence in DOC. Sorry, I see no preferential treatment here. Just look at the drug dealer Tim Monroe. Supposedly the head honcho of Saline County, Henshaw, had a beef with him, or that is what has been portrayed. So you would think, after he is convicted of selling cocaine to an undercover officer by a jury, he would get a nice prison sentence…..so which prison is he in? Oh yea, probation and a fine. Could have been sentenced to what, seven years or more and he gets probation. Fact is almost all judges rarely sentence perps to the maximum sentence for drug offenses. I would think if Al Way was a God in Harrisburg he would be able to keep his son from spending a year in jail and then getting sentenced to 4 years in prison. If Al Way is a God, Tim Monroe’s dad must be Saline County’s version of Zeus.
The problem with this scenario is that while it might be Way’s “first time,” he had SEVERAL chances to redeem himself once he was sentenced and released, and instead he made several screwups. These are documented, not alleged. So it wasn’t just the coke charge prosecutors were going back on, it was the probation violation (THREE TIMES) the judge should have been looking at too. The gripe the prosecution apparently had is that they KNEW if Way received the lightest possible DOC, all his previous time served/rehab would apply…and suddenly 4 years turns into three months. And then to be offered an ‘alternate’ sentence of 120 days boot camp—this to a guy who ‘worked off’ massive fines by hanging at a food pantry all day for several months—is just a slap in the face of anyone who is arguing for some justice…especially the day after the little shit pisses hot on ANOTHER drug test. It’s an obscenity. Little god is right.
Well, look around at all the other first timers, he got no less sentence than the rest of the dopers get. Some don’t even spend a day in jail.
He will not be getting good time in prison. They done away with that after the former gov. let all those prisoners out before the state got paid for them, so yeah he will do some time in DOC but it may not be much!!
State’s attorney’s office said they’re thinking it’ll only be about three months. They said Jason Olson sat down and did the math and that’s what they came up with. His time served, plus rehab, was calculated toward that. What do you think about it, moss618? Do you think he’ll take the DOC route, or will he go ahead on to boot camp?
Al Way is not an important person in Harrisburg. Hes a fucking high school football coach…..who really gives a fuck?
Dr. Pawn if you haven’t noticed football is pretty important in the burg…don’t recall the last time half the town came out to watch the marching band win a state title. And seeing as how Al Way has a state title and a state runner up he is pretty important….more important than you.
If he chooses the Boot Camp route it wont just be the 120 days that the program runs. He would first be processed into the DOC and then wait for a slot to open. That route would be 6 month time total, if not more depending on the wait list for Boot Camp.
I only knew him vaguely when he was a freshmen in HS and unless hes changed since then, I dont think he has the testicular fortitude to handle DOC or Boot Camp.
Everybody we’ve talked to, without exception, said the same thing…he’s just not boot camp material.
I didn’t realize it took so long to get into/through the program. He’ll probably take DOC under the circumstances.
ambu, you obviously have no idea what DOC in Illiois is like….a six year old could handle IL DOC. As far as the Al Way debate, I never, in my 20 years in Harrisburg, saw Al Way hanging out with anyone who would have the pull to reduce his son’s sentence. Oh, by the “way”, he is the freshman coach now, Jason Roper is the varsity coach. As I said before, if he had pull, his son would not have spent a year in the county jail in the first place.
Grape Ape have you ever been a employee of Il DOC? or perhaps a inmate? Because unless it has changed in the last 15 or so years its the last place I think a “6 year old” could handle.
Al Way didn’t hang with political types or powerful people. He just loved coaching football and playing all sports. Maybe people respect him for the fact that he wasn’t a political ass kisser so they want to help him now.
As far as a coach, his best years were with Joggerst as head coach. That was before steroids and all and they still were state runner’s up even in a higher class. He didn’t care who yer daddy was. If you had enough heart to give it your all, you could play.
Either way, his legacy as a coach will always be a part of Harrisburg’s history.
A lot of people give a f*ck.
I came back around to check on this story to see if any updates had been posted, and for some reason I always find my way down to comments section. It’s amazing to me how you people can seem to get off topic so fast. Scott Way broke the law, period end of discussion. The sentence he got for the amount of illegal/illicit drugs is a slap in the face of justice, period. It’ s to bad he didn’t have crack on him, for that would have fallen under mandatory minimum laws. He is a recidivist of the worst kind, failing multiple drug screenings proves it. The fact that he is allowed to roam free influencing others with his “it’s not my fault, and the snitches are to blame” attitude disgusts me. I personally know him and I am ashamed that much like several others in Harrisburg he has failed to grow up. Laws exist in order to preserve order in society, if we start to bend them, for some why not bend them for all.
Kudos Far From it all. I don’t think I could’ve said it any better myself.
Ambu, yes I worked for doc. Far from it all, as I have said before, all first timers get huge breaks. Many don’t even get jail time. It takes several felony arrests to get any kind of real prison time unless it is a federal case.
“hhs football rules”…..you have got to be kidding me? So you are telling me a man who teaches teenagers how to play football, as well as teaching them to drive for a living is an important person? I think you may need to rethink your priorities. Although I am sure you are the 30 or 40 something who is still reliving your “glory days” on the Harrisburg football team everyday in you bullshit stories. Get a grip on life, nobody cares, it is only high school athletics.
What’s wrong doc did you ride the pine pony?
dr. pawn your glory days were probably in the color guard…lol…or hung up in a locker by your gym shorts
to dr pawn you must have rode the bench alot or not been good enough to play on the team, coach way was a very important person in my live and many of my friends he was a great leader and taught us respect and what it means to have heart. Its just a shame that scott turned out the way it is. Sometimes you just cant fix stupid
Admin. I think he might take the easy way out Boot Camp whether he can handle it or not!! I don’t think he can handle DOC!! Being looked up in a 5X5 cell with a guy named Bubba!! Menard has 4000 inmates housed there and I don’t see dear old Scotty wanting to have to watch his back all the time!! Who said he would have to spend six months in DOC before going to boot camp? My cousin went to DOC in Feb. and he already in boot camp gets out in about 30 days and if he stayed in DOC he wouldn’t have been released til 2014!! So I see Scotty taking the boot camp route that way he’ll be home before Halloween!!
Well, Dwight. I actually played for coach Way, and started on the football team and my opinion is still the same. If I had to guess about you I would say that you are about 160 lb. little guy who ran track in high school. Probably just graduated college with something like an engineering degree and cant find a job. Also I am sure you have had the same girlfriend for about 8 years because she is the only one that would ever date you….
Haha, watch his back in menard. if he stays AT MENARD he’ll b on the hill with all his homies from the street, not 4000 other inmates. and processing wont take 30 days it’ll b 3 weeks max. anybody can handle the places they may send him. so 4 all u know it alls bout DOC shut the fuck up about it unless u know what ur talkn about
“been there done that”…..Are you bragging about having been in prison? If so, then I could only wish that you would have never have gotten out. Pure fucking scum……
There are enough ferries willing to please in DOC that it is unlikely he will be Bubba’s girlfriend. People been watching to much Shawshank Redemption.
Great guess Pawn! haha I’m still at a loss as to who it is you are. Considering last thursday was when I finished class w/ a double degree thank you, not much trouble in my future. Anyways I’ve been eating my veggies and got myself up to 175 now. As for the track comment…you are correct…8 state medals in two years (2 gold) and a school record (since you are belittling). My significant other… it’s six years and I don’t care if no one else would date me…although I never really had much trouble in that area before. (I’ll save the momma jokes for another time).
You still live in the ‘burg Pawn?
P.S. how come you only lashed out at me (I said nothing of the color guard haha)? I was merely joking. We seem to be on the same side about most of these topics.
That “pure fucking scum” comment has grabbed my attention btw…
Damn, can’t believe I hit the nail right on the head!
