A Plymouth man was sentenced in Starke Circuit Court Wednesday morning after pleading guilty to a charge of dealing in methamphetamine as a Level 4 Felony.
Johnny Whitt, 49, admitted to Magistrate Jeanene Calabrese that he sold 3.51 grams of methamphetamine to a confidential informant on July 12, 2017.
Magistrate Calabrese accepted the plea agreement negotiated between Starke County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Micah Cox and Defense Attorney Nathan Pearson. Per the terms of that agreement, Whitt will serve 8 years in the Indiana Department of Corrections with two years suspended to be served on probation. He will be permitted to participate in the Recovery While Incarcerated program while in the Department of Corrections. He will also need to pay a $250 drug interdiction fee and court costs. He may petition the court to modify his sentence at any time.
Whitt will serve this sentence following a 10 year sentence handed down in Marshall County last year in a plea agreement on the same charge. No part of that sentence was suspended. Any good time credit to be received would be received in the Marshall County sentence.
