Indiana Man Enters Plea, Sentenced to Prison for Cocaine Possession

Stan Hatch of Fort Wayne, Indiana, appeared in Judge Kimbler’s courtroom on Monday, May 10, 2010 on a charge of Drug Possession and Possession of Criminal Tools. The drug involved was over 500 grams of Cocaine. Mr. Hatch entered a plea of “no contest” to both charges and was found guilty of both charges. He also agreed to the forfeiture of his 2008 Silverado pick-up truck and $1019.00 in cash.

Immediately after taking the plea, Judge Kimbler imposed a mandatory prison term of eight years on the Drug Possession charge and a 12 month sentence on the Possession of Criminal Tools. The prison sentences are to be served concurrently. Judge Kimbler also ordered a five year mandatory period of post-release control and also imposed a mandatory fine of $10,000.00, but suspended the collection of the fine.
