CROSSVILLE —
A Criminal Court defendant, who earned multiple offender status because of his record, received a ten-year prison sentence after pleading guilty in Cumberland County Criminal Court Sept. 21.
Jacob Melton Morrow, 39, whose last known address was listed on Brookhaven Dr., faced up to 15 years on one charge and 12 on the other when he entered his sentencing agreement.
Morrow pleaded guilty to promotion of the manufacture of meth and received a four-year sentence with fine waived. That charge stemmed from a February 2011 arrest by Sheriff’s Deputies David Moore, Kevin Phillips and Danny Stone. He was fined $2,000.
