EVENT CORRECTION Correction: Former professor not guilty of felony A former Eastern music professor was not convicted of a Class 4 felony as reported in a headline and story in Friday's edition of 1he Daily Eastern News. Terence Mayhue, 34, pleaded guilty Feb. 16 to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct, Class A misdemeanor, as part of negotiated plea. He was sentenced to two years of probation, a $500 fine and a stayed sentence of 180 days in jail, meaning it will not be served unless proba tion is violated. An original Class 4 felony charge of obstruct ing justice was filed Aug. 25 and amended Aug. 26 in the Coles County Circuit Court, alleging that on or about June 6, 2009, Mayhue "fur nished false evidence" to police by stating that he "did not know the origin of an email from 'jillpill' when in fact he did know the origin of said email." The charge filed in court alleged that he did so "with the intent to prevent" his arrest or pros ecution. Probable cause to proceed to trial on the orig inal felony charge was found at a preliminary hearing on Nov. 9. Mayhue pleaded not guilty to the original felony charge at that hearing. The original charge was dismissed Feb. 16 as part of the plea agreement.
