CAMBRIDGE, MD - Dorchester County Circuit Court Judge Brett Wilson sentenced Lamont Antwine Jones to 5 years in prison, with all but 5 months and 29 days suspended, for accepting a special delivery package from the postman that contained nearly five pounds of marijuana.
"You took receipt of 5 pounds of marijuana with the package addressed to Joe Brown, and you identified yourself as Joe Brown," said Wilson. "This court has to sentence you based on your conviction. I believe you should be given credit for your cooperation and seeking treatment, but I can't turn a blind eye."
Jones, 40, of 814 Bradley Ave., entered an Alford plea in April to possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
As part of a plea agreement with the Dorchester County State's Attorney's Office, the remaining charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute in a school zone, conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to distribute in a school zone, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, common nuisance, possession of cocaine and possession of marijuana.
