Drug trafficking charges have landed a Kitts Hill man in prison for nearly five years.

Jeremy Sanders, 30, of 2011 County Road 61, pleaded guilty in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court Wednesday to third-degree aggravated trafficking in drugs and fourth-degree aggravated trafficking in drugs. Sanders, who is deaf, entered his plea through a sign language interpreter.

Judge D. Scott Bowling sentenced Sanders to a total of four years and 11 months in prison. In exchange for a guilty plea, Lawrence County Prosecutor J.B. Collier dismissed a count of aggravated drug trafficking and amended another count from a third to a fourth-degree aggravated trafficking.

Besides the prison time, Sanders will also be fined $7,500 and his driver’s license will be suspended.

Bowling sentenced Henry to a total of one year in prison and ordered him to pay $5,000 in fines.

Pamela D. Kerfoot, 36, of 402 Brubaker Dr., South Point, pleaded no contest to fourth-degree theft of drugs. Bowling found Kerfoot guilty and sentenced her to four years of community-controlled sanctions.

The judge also ordered her to undergo outpatient drug counseling from Family Guidance and to pay a $2,500 fine. Her driver’s license will be suspended for six months as well.
