Gregory A. Turnbo, 27, of Barnhart has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempting to make methamphetamine, according to court papers.
On March 14, 2012, Turnbo, formerly of Dittmer, was found in Jefferson County with hydrogen peroxide, muriatic acid, a liquid-filled jar, a funnel, filters, lithium batteries, a drain opener, tubing and other items commonly used to make meth, the report said.
He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced Feb. 11 by Jefferson County Div. 2 Circuit Judge Gary P. Kramer to 10 years.
Turnbo may be released early if he successfully completes a two-year treatment program, court documents indicate.
Jefferson County assistant prosecuting attorney Trisha C. Stefanski handled the case.
Turnbo previously pleaded guilty to unlawful use of drug paraphernalia in connection with a March 2011 incident and received probation, but he violated the probation and was sentenced in June 2012 to one year in jail, court records show.
Also, Turnbo previously pleaded guilty to two felony drug charges stemming from a January 2007 incident and was sentenced in December 2007 to four years, according to court documents.
