Summary
Christopher M. Armstrong admitted failing to submit to court-directed drug testing. The state and defense agreed to adjudicate guilt and the court imposed a one-year state-jail sentence with standard conditions and treatment recommendations.
Christopher M. Armstrong pleaded true to a violation that he failed to submit to drug testing as directed by supervision staff. After the plea the parties presented a negotiated disposition, and the court adjudicated Armstrong guilty and sentenced him to one year in a state-jail facility. At the hearing the state proceeded on violation number 2 (failure to submit to drug testing). Armstrong and counsel confirmed an agreement: grant the state's motion, enter adjudication and sentence him to one year in state jail, with the court to give credit for any time already served. Defense counsel confirmed the restitution and financial obligations had been addressed with probation. The judge accepted the plea, entered adjudication and imposed the one-year sentence. The court also recommended therapeutic-community treatment and ordered no unsupervised contact with minors as part of the sentence conditions. The district clerk will enter the judgment and notify custody, probation and treatment providers.
