David Aaron Jordan pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance (penalty group 1, 1–4 grams) and the court sentenced him to two years in prison and a $1,000 fine, with credit for time served, the judge said.
The judge told Jordan, “The court is gonna sentence you to 2 years in the prison, give you credit for any time served. There's a thousand dollar fine, time, and money to run concurrent.” The sentence will run concurrent with county-court cause number 724832.
The judge also requested placement in a therapeutic community program and ordered no unsupervised contact with minors as part of the sentence conditions. The judge explained the therapeutic community is intended to address drug addiction and does not increase custody time.
Why it matters: Jordan’s guilty plea and immediate sentencing carry a custodial term and treatment conditions; the court recorded that Jordan knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to jury trial and that the state had presented witness statements and police reports in lieu of live testimony. The record shows Jordan reviewed plea documents with counsel and indicated understanding of the rights he waived.
Ending: The court also reminded Jordan of the appellate waiver and the prohibition on possessing weapons after a felony conviction and closed the matter after sentencing.
