A Washington man was recently given a deferred judgment for two felony drug incidents.
Court documents show judgment was deferred for 42-year-old Edgar Leon Carroll on two counts of a possession of methamphetamine third or subsequent offense, a class D felony, while a charge of possession with intent to deliver more than five grams of methamphetamine, a class B felony, was dismissed with costs to Carroll. He was placed on five years of probation and ordered to pay a civil penalty of $1,025 with surcharges for each of the class D felony counts. The Court found Carroll has the reasonable ability to pay court costs but he doesn’t have the reasonable ability to pay any other Category B restitution.
Carroll was first arrested in July of 2021 for a September 2020 incident when he was found to be in possession of cannabis and .64 grams of methamphetamine. While being taken into custody for a warrant arrest in November 2021, Carroll attempted to hand a sunglasses case to his friend without law enforcement noticing. Inside the case was a glass smoking pipe with residue and 11.39 grams of methamphetamine.
