Man Decides to Skip Sentecing Hearing on Pot Charges
Posted on Mar 20, 2012 11:48am PDT
Michael Geesen, 38, failed to show up in court for his scheduled sentencing on Monday March 19, 2012 which was originally suppose to take place on January 17th.
Geesen had pled guilty on November 29, 2011 to possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver.
He was arrested on drug trafficking charges after he was found with seven pounds of marijuana and numerous plastic baggies in his van after a traffic stop in June.
Geesen told police the drugs belonged to a friend who owned a medical marijuana co-op in California.
Judge Randy Stoker revoked any bond previously paid in the case and ordered a $100,000 bench warrant for Geesen.
The state will recommend two to 10 years in prison and retained jurisdiction, along with 100 hours of community service if probation is granted.
