(KAIR)--Four years in prison is the sentence earned by an Atchison man arrested in 2021 for drug trafficking.

According to a release from Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker, 38-year-old Christopher Crane learned his fate Monday in Atchison County District Court.

In September, 2022, Crane entered a no contest plea for the charges he was sentenced on, including possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute within 1,000 feat of a school, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute within 1,000 feat of as school, possession of Oxycodone and criminal use of a weapon.

Crane was arrested in March, 2021 as part of an Atchison County Sheriff's Office investigation. That followed a search of his Atchison residence where methamphetamine, marijuana, Oxycodone, and drug distribution materials were found by investigators.

Prior to his four year prison sentence, Crane's legal counsel pushed for a sentence of probation, which the Court denied.
