Fake Meth Brings Jail Time
02/11/2016

Chad Gorrell Jr.

(KAIR)--One year in the Atchison County Jail. 

That's the sentence handed down recently to an Atchison man accused of selling fake methamphetamine. 

Atchison Police, in November, investigated a claim made by 21-year-old Chad Gorrell, Jr. that he had been assaulted. 

Investigators say that while he did suffer injuries during an altercation, it was not due to the reasons he gave them. Instead, police say the fight stemmed from Gorrell claiming to sell meth, but instead, selling something that only resembled it. 

That landed him with a charge of one misdemeanor count of unlawful representation of a non-controlled substance as a controlled substance.

In December, Gorrell pleaded guilty to that charge.
