(KAIR)--A 51-year-old Atchison man is going to prison, sentenced Friday in Atchison County District Court to more than 8-years of incarceration.
According to a release from Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker, Charles Edward Young entered a plea of no contest in January to the charges of possession of fentanyl with the intent to distribute, possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute, and aggravated endangering a child.
The release explains that the charges stemmed from an Atchison County Sheriff's Office drug investigation, that included the execution of a search warrant on Young's residence and vehicle.
On May 10 of last year, Young was stopped by law enforcement while driving, and the resulting search led to the discovery of what the release says included 158 fentanyl pills, methamphetamine, a digital scale, other drug paraphernalia, and United States currency.
A search of Young's home led to the recovery of what the release identifies as "methamphetamine throughout the living room, a digital scale, and other items consistent with drug paraphernalia.”
A juvenile had been living with Young at the time of the raid, leading to the child endangerment-related charge.
