BEDFORD – Lawrence County Superior I Judge John M. Plummer III sentenced Dale Jones Jr. to 545 days in prison on Monday for committing a new felony while on probation.
Jones was originally sentenced in May of 2021 to two years on probation for possession of methamphetamine. Jones repeatedly failed to follow the terms of his probation by being unsuccessfully terminated from the Moral Reconation Treatment Program, testing positive for methamphetamine, and then finally, committing felony possession of
methamphetamine in Martin County.
“Probation is an opportunity to avoid serving prison time by making positive changes, Mr. Jones chose not to take advantage of that opportunity and Judge Plummer showed that those decisions have consequences,” said Prosecutor Sam Arp.
