GARNER — A rural Clear Lake man facing a drug charge out of Hancock County has entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors.
26-year-old Trevor Myers was charged with conspiring with the intent to manufacture or deliver methamphetamine over five grams after being arrested last month.
A criminal complaint states that a Hancock County deputy spoke with four separate citizens in the past year who stated Myers distributed methamphetamine in Hancock County. One person in December told authorities that Myers would acquire meth daily for distribution starting in 2019. An investigation allegedly identified messages where Myers was actively distributing more than five grams of meth and receiving cash for the distribution of the drug.
The complaint states that Myers was stopped by law enforcement on May 22nd with meth being discovered. An arrest warrant was served on Myers on March 7th by the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office.
Myers earlier this month had filed a written plea of not guilty and demanded a speedy trial, which was scheduled to start on April 30th, but court records show he filed a written plea of guilty in Hancock County District Court last week to possession with the intent to deliver, a Class C felony.
As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend a suspended sentence and five years probation when he’s sentenced at a later date.
