Findlay Man Sentenced For Possession Of Meth

A Findlay man has been sentenced to three years in prison for unlawful possession of meth. 30 year old Jamie M. Brown was sentenced last week to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the offense of possession of less than 5 grams of a substance containing meth, a Class 3 Felony.  Original sentencing was between two and five years. 

 

Brown was arrested on May 7th after deputies were dispatched to a Findlay address for a domestic disturbance.  When police arrived, they realized that Brown had an active arrest warrant from Coles County and he fled the scene on a bicycle before deputies arrived.  Brown was eventually located and apprehended two blocks away.  Upon search of his backpack, two syringes were found that tested positive for meth.

 

Brown has prior convictions for the offenses of DUI, theft, domestic battery, resisting a peace officer, and possession of less than 5 grams of meth. His prior convictions originated in Cole and Moultrie Counties.  This is Brown’s first prison sentence and the case was investigated by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office.
