Sentencing for Boles' cohort postponed; hearing set today

The sentencing of a Sharon man who pleaded guilty to making terroristic threats in connection with the October 2001 shooting death of Edward Boles of Sharon was postponed Wednesday.

Jody Gabriele, 41, of 352 Elm Ave., entered a guilty plea to the misdemeanor charge before Mercer County Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas R. Dobson. Gabriel, who was set to be sentenced Wednesday, is expected to face the judge today.

On Oct. 21, 2001, Gabriele and Boles, 39, forced their way into the back door of 145 N. Water Ave., Sharon, and began fighting with Michael Dushawn Harris, 24, of Chicago, police said.

Harris was hit with a baseball bat and Boles and Gabriele threatened to shoot him, police said.

During the fight, Harris got a .32-caliber, semi-automatic handgun from the residence and fired several times at Boles and Gabriele as they ran from the home.

Shortly after the fight, Boles was found near Bridge Place and North Irvine Avenue with a gunshot wound. He died later at the hospital of Sharon Regional Health System.
