Jeffrey Hill, 49, of Bridgeton has been sentenced to seven years in prison for violating the terms of his probation. He recently was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance in St. Louis County, court records show.
Jefferson County Div. 4 Circuit Judge Brenda Stacey revoked Hill’s probation and sentenced him to seven years in prison on Sept. 26. He had been on five years’ probation after pleading guilty to delivery of a controlled substance and two charges of possession of a controlled substance, according to court documents
In November 2019, Hill had been sentenced to seven years for the delivery charge and five years for each possession charge, but those sentences had been suspended and he was placed on probation. When Stacey revoked his probation, Hill was ordered to serve the three sentences concurrently, or at the same time, court records said.
Jefferson County assistant prosecuting attorney Lindsay Whalen prosecuted the case.
Hill was charged in St. Louis County on March 11 for possession of a controlled substance, a class D felony punishable by up to seven years in prison. He had been arrested in September 2023 in Maryland Heights, according to court documents.
Hill was first arrested in Jefferson County in March 2017 by a Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office deputy. Hill was the driver of a 2000 Chevrolet Express that was stopped at a red light at Hwy. 141 and Fiedler Lane in the Jefferson County portion of Fenton, the case’s probable-cause statement said.
Hill abruptly went through the red light and made a U-turn to travel south on Hwy. 141, and the deputy, who was stopped behind the van, pulled Hill over north of Romaine Creek Road. The deputy discovered Hill was wanted on traffic warrants in Jefferson County, Sunset Hills, St. Louis County and Warren County, and arrested Hill, the report said.
The deputy found a bag with methamphetamine and a smoking device in Hill’s pocket. Hill told the deputy he delivers meth that is dropped off at his house to a friend for $300 every other week, according to the report.
Hill was arrested again in Jefferson County in January 2018, when a Sheriff’s Office deputy stopped a 1996 Chevrolet Blazer on Old Sugar Creek Road in unincorporated Fenton. The deputy stopped the SUV because it had license plates that were registered to another vehicle, the case’s probable-cause statement said.
The deputy arrested Hill because he had active warrants and his driver’s license had been revoked. The deputy also found a container that had meth in it and a smoking device in the SUV, the report said.
The third time Hill was arrested in Jefferson County was in April 2018, a Missouri Highway Patrol Trooper stopped the same Blazer that Hill had been driving in January because it still had plates registered to another vehicle. The trooper found marijuana, meth and a glass pipe with residue inside the Blazer, the case’s probable-cause statement said.
