(KNZA)--A Falls City man convicted on a felony drug charge in Doniphan County has been placed on probation.

27-year-old Cameron Mitchell Gill was given a 20-month suspended prison sentence this week and placed on 12-months supervised probation on a charge of possession of methamphetamine.

Gill was also ordered to pay nearly 17-hundred dollars in fines and court costs.     

He pleaded no contest to the charge last month.  In exchange for the plea, five additional charges were dismissed.

Gill was arrested last September by the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Department following a traffic stop on U.S. 36 Highway.  During a consent to search his vehicle, authorities say a black pouch was located with baggies and residue of what appeared to be methamphetamine.
