Ford sentenced in district court

On Monday, Judge Bobbi Overfield sentenced Daniel L. Ford to four years supervised probation, with a requirement that he attend inpatient treatment, on felonies of wrongful taking or disposing of property and two counts of possession of a controlled substance, as well as two misdemeanors of use of a controlled substance, second or subsequent offense.

The felony charges are from an April 24 incident, during which items including a four-wheeler, leaf blower and gas cans — all known to be stolen — were located in a garage at Ford’s residence.

On April 27, a urine analysis on Ford indicated that he was under the influence of marijuana and methamphetamine, which led to the two misdemeanor charges.

Ford pleaded guilty to the charges in October, and during that hearing it was pointed out that he had two prior convictions of use of a controlled substance — one which was in 2007, the other in 2008.

In exchange for his plea, Ford received a prison sentence of 3-5 years, though that sentence has been deferred for the probation. on each of the five counts, each served concurrently.
