(KAIR) -- A 34-year-old Nortonville man has been sentenced to 40 months in prison on two methamphetamine possession charges.
Ernest “Chip” Reynolds was handed the sentence Monday in Atchison County District Court.
District Judge Martin Asher granted the state’s motion to depart from the sentencing guidelines which would have given Reynolds probation.
County Attorney Gerald Kuckelman said due to the close proximity of his meth convictions, he believed Reynolds wouldn’t be a good candidate for probation.
Reynolds was arrested in early May in association with a drug raid of an Atchison residence that led to the arrest of four other individuals and again in July in a separate incident when he was out on bond in the previous case.
Reynolds has 21 prior convictions.
