On Wednesday afternoon in Crawford County Common Pleas Court it was a case of one man going to prison, and another getting out.
Justin Testement, 26, pleaded guilty to a charge of fifth-degree felony possession of drugs and a charge of third-degree felony tampering with evidence. Judge Sean Leuthold sentenced him to 12 months in prison on each charge, to be served consecutively for 24 months total. Testement was given credit for jail time served, a six month driver’s license suspension, and fined $1,250.
Leuthold commented on how the young man’s life had “spiraled out of control,” resulting in his brush with the law, yet noticed that after just one month spent in jail, he remarked that Testement looked “healthy.”
Testement is also subject to three years post release control.
Thirty-two year old Andrew Klein was given judicial release after serving a little over a year in prison. Klein was convicted in March of last year and sentenced to serve six months on felony five drug possession, six months on felony five receiving stolen property, and 36 months for felony three drug possession, a total of 48 consecutive months.
