John R. Jaracz, 51, of Fenton recently received a 10-year prison sentence for drug trafficking, court records indicate.
On May 15, 2012, he was found in Jefferson County with more than 30 grams of methamphetamine, the report said.
Jaracz pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced March 18 by Jefferson County Div. 1 Circuit Judge Robert G. Wilkins.
Then, on May 7, Jaracz was sentenced by Wilkins to five years in prison on a felony assault charge stemming from a July 11, 2012 incident in Jefferson County.
That term is to be served concurrently, or at the same time, with the 10-year sentence, according to the report.
He may be released early if he successfully completes a one-year treatment program, according to the report.
