Sentencing set for Clear Lake man after guilty plea to Hancock County drug charge
GARNER — The sentencing date has been set for a rural Clear Lake man who entered into a plea deal with prosecutors after facing a Hancock County drug charge.
26-year-old Trevor Myers was charged with conspiring with the intent to manufacture or deliver methamphetamine over five grams, a Class B felony, after being arrested in February.
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 originally filed a written plea of not guilty but he entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors last month, pleading guilty to the reduced charge of possession with the intent to deliver, a Class C felony.
As part of the plea deal, prosecutors will recommend a suspended sentence and five years probation. Myers is scheduled to be sentenced on June 10th in Hancock County District Court.
