A four-year prison term was given a local man Tuesday in Effingham County Circuit Court.

34-year-old Scott W. Loy of Effingham was sentenced on a count of aggravated domestic battery. He was originally charged in May 2019 and was placed on four years' probation in June.

Loy was charged in November with violating the terms of his probation. In court in December, Loy admitted to the violation of the probation in exchange for a promise that he would receive no more than a five-year prison term.
