The Starke Circuit Court yesterday afternoon heard a number of pleas and handed down sentences as several people pleaded guilty to the charges against them.
Lonzo Jackson, 21 of Knox, pleaded guilty to a Class C felony charge of Possession of Chemical Reagents or Precursors with Intent to Manufacture Within 1000 Feet of a School. He admitted that on Nov. 26, he was in possession of lithium batteries and pseudoephedrine at his grandmother’s house, which is located near a church with preschool services. Jackson will serve six years on home detention through Community Corrections followed by two years of probation. He can also request an early release from his sentence if Community Corrections recommends it.
