Probation for man found guilty of drug possession
An Appanoose County man was sentenced to probation for his involvement to deliver marijuana in March of this year.
Derek Riley Miller, 20, of Moravia, entered a voluntary negotiated guilty plea on Oct. 30 to possession of less than 50 kilograms of marijuana with the intent to deliver, a class D felony. Judge Kirk A. Daily sentenced Miller to 5 years in prison, suspended to 5 years probation with the Eighth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services and a $750 fine, a 32 percent surcharge, a $125 law enforcement surcharge and a $10 DARE surcharge.
Judge Daily dismissed two other charges against Miller.
Miller was arraigned on the charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver more than 50 kilograms of marijuana, a class C felony and possession of methamphetamine enhanced, an aggravated misdemeanor filed by Appanoose County Attorney Richard Scott on April 27.
Court documents show the charges stemmed from a March 14 incident where Centerville police confronted Miller at a local convenience store and a subsequent search found he was in possession of eight baggies containing at least 51.1 grams of marijuana. Also found on his person was a small baggie containing methamphetamine residue.
