A Mount Pleasant man has been given probation after being arrested on nearly 10 charges this April.
Court records show that through a plea agreement 36-year-old Zackary Daniel Kirkbride was convicted of one count of a class C controlled substance violation, and was given a suspended 10 year-prison sentence to serve five years probation. He must also spend 365 days at a residential treatment facility or until maximum benefits have been achieved and pay a $1,370 fine. Two counts of class B felony controlled substance violations, one class C controlled substance violation, three class D felony controlled substance violations, and two counts of dominion or control of a firearm by a domestic abuse offender were dismissed.
Kirkbride was arrested after a traffic stop for a nonfunctioning brake light on his vehicle resulted in the discovery of methamphetamine, psilocybin mushrooms, liquid THC, drug paraphernalia and a firearm. A search warrant of his home later found additional drugs including heroin and a second firearm.
