(KAIR)--An Atchison man is going to prison, sentenced last week on charges related to drug distribution.
45-year-old Shane Lawrence was sentenced July 26 in Atchison County District Court to serve 9-years of incarceration for the crimes of possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute and possession of psilocybin mushroomes with the intent to distribute.
According to a release from Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker, Lawrence plead guilty to the charges in February of this year, following litigation of more than 16-months.
Lawrence was arrested in October of 2021 following an investigation, complete with a search of his residence where the contraband was located, launched in late 2021 by the Atchison County Sheriff's Office.
Lawrence, during last week's sentencing hearing, argued for probation, which the judge denied, giving him the 9-year prison sentence instead.
