BEDFORD – Lawrence County Superior Court I Judge John Plummer III, sentenced a Bedford man to serve the maximum time in the Indiana Department of Corrections for violating the terms of his probation.
Devin Sullivan was sentenced to 11 years in prison, after he committed a new offense of possession of meth while he was on probation. Sullivan pleaded guilty to the charge in a negotiated plea deal.
Judge Plummer then suspended three years to be serviced on supervised probation. Sullivan was given credit for 32 days served.
Sullivan was arrested in October 2021, after a Bedford Police officer stopped the vehicle he was a passenger in on 24th Street after he learned the vehicle had a false or fictitious license plate. The officer noticed Devin Sullivan was nervous and fidgety.
Sullivan was wanted on a warrant for failure to appear and was detained.
Sullivan was then transported to the Lawrence County Jail. At the jail, the officer noticed a plastic baggy in his back seat that contained four smaller baggies of crystal meth. The total amount of meth found was 16.75 grams.
