GARNER — It’s a suspended sentence and probation for a Clear Lake man on 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 stated 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 of last year 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, pleading guilty to the reduced charge of possession with the intent to deliver, a Class C felony. As part of the plea deal, prosecutors recommended a suspended sentence and five years probation, a recommendation that District Judge Rustin Davenport agreed with when sentencing Myers on Tuesday in Hancock County District Court.
