The Wabash County State’s Attorney’s Office has announced a prison sentence in a local drug and weapons case.
State’s Attorney Kelli Storckman said that on Tuesday, 34 year old Jordan Emery of Evansville was sentenced to six years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. The sentence was handed down by Circuit Judge William Hudson in Wabash County Circuit Court.
The case stems from a November 28th traffic stop on Route 1 South, when deputies with the Wabash County Sheriff’s Department stopped a vehicle driven by Emery in Wabash County. During the stop, deputies learned Emery had an outstanding Wabash County warrant.
A search conducted prior to Emery’s arrest led deputies to discover methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, a firearm, and ammunition inside the vehicle.
