A Defiance man…convicted of domestic abuse with a long criminal history and considerable medical problems…is given a unique sentence in a Defiance County courtroom…house arrest. Kellis Hatton, 56, gets community control for four years with electronic monitored house arrest…on two counts of domestic violence, each a third-degree felony. Hatton is then told…not to leave his residence or have contact with the victims. However, he can leave to attend medical appointments. He could be sent to prison if he violates terms of community control. An additional charge of attempted murder, was dismissed at sentencing as part of the plea deal.
