SMITH PLEADS GUILTY TO DRUG CHARGE WITH PLEA AGREEMENT

(10/22/2008)
Grantsville resident Christopher Todd Smith entered into a plea agreement in Calhoun Circuit Court this week, after pleading guilty to a charge of "conspiracy to possess a controlled substance with intent to deliver with an unknown individual."

Smith had been charged by the Grantsville Police Department in 2007, after authorities reportedly discovered a gallon bag of marijuana and paraphernalia in his residence.

The agreement said "That the defendant agrees to appear and truthfully testify as to all matters within his knowledge when summoned by any party in any criminal matter," among other conditions.

Numerous other technical conditions were included in the plea agreement.

The state also agreed to dismiss any charges pending against Kelly Lawson, related to the case.

Smith's sentencing is scheduled for December.

All charges against Smith were dropped last week related to a 2007 incident where he was accused of shooting a BB gun at a Charleston Gazette newspaper carrier. He was found not guilty.
