Sentencing Hearings in District Court

A sentencing hearing for 46-year-old Aaron Way of Sheridan was held Tuesday in Fourth Judicial District Court. On October 4 of last year. Way was arrested and charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance- Marijuana. The charge was prosecuted as a felony because Way has three previous drug possession convictions. District Court Judge Fenn accepted the terms of the plea agreement that was reached with the State, and sentenced Way to 2 to 4 years in prison, suspended in lieu of two years of supervised probation. Way was also ordered to pay $725 in various court costs and attorney fees.

Also sentenced Tuesday was 20-year-old Dante Allison, who on November 30 of last year, was charged with two felonies, Delivery of a Controlled Substance- Marijuana, and Taking a Controlled Substance into Jail. Judge Fenn accepted the plea agreement that was made with the State, and entered into record a deferred sentence and two years of supervised probation for the charge of taking drugs into jail. The delivery charge was dropped as part of the plea deal with the State. Judge Fenn ordered Allison to pay $325 in various court costs and fees.
