46-year-old Jason Cox of Mt. Carmel has been sentenced to 6 years in prison on a meth possession charge. Cox was arrested last May by Mt. Carmel Police following a traffic stop in the 1300 block of West 9th Street. After K-9 KiKi alerted to the presence of narcotics in Cox’s vehicle, officers found a clear bag of suspected meth that later field tested positive for meth. He was released after being taken to jail and processed and given a notice to appear. But Cox failed to appear in court and was again arrested by MCPD in July on an FTA warrant. Appearing in court Monday, Cox was sentenced to the six-year term in the DOC on the Class 2 felony. He’ll be on one year of parole after his release.
