A Bainbridge man sentenced to four years in prison on trafficking charges was among two people sentenced recently in Highland County Common Pleas Court.

Nathan Snodgrass, 48, was sentenced to 12 months in prison on one count of aggravated trafficking in methamphetamine, a third-degree felony, which was ordered to be served consecutive to three years for another count of aggravated trafficking in meth, a second-degree felony. Snodgrass was also given 70 days of jail-time credit.

Snodgrass was ordered to pay restitution of $560 to the Highland County Task Force through the Victim Restitution Escrow Account of the Highland County Victim Witness Office.

According to court documents for the first count, around March 31, 2023, Snodgrass knowingly sold or offered to sell meth in an amount equal to or exceeding the bulk amount, but less than five times the bulk amount.

According to court documents for the second count, around April 14, 2023, Snodgrass knowingly sold or offered to sell meth in an amount equal to or exceeding five times the bulk amount but less than 50 times the bulk amount.

In other sentencings, David Jones, 39, Hillsboro, was found in violation of his community control sanctions and sentenced to 11 months in prison on one count of breaking and entering, a fifth-degree felony. Jones was given 181 days of jail-time credit.

If Jones was sentenced to a term of imprisonment, a period of supervision under conditions determined by the Adult Parole Authority after his release from prison was found to be optional.

If he was sentenced to prison for a felony of the third degree that wasn’t a felony of violence or a felony sex offense or a felony of the fourth or fifth degree, after his release from prison he would be subject to up to two years of post-release control supervision at the option of the Adult Parole Authority.

Jones was originally sentenced for another count of breaking and entering, a fifth-degree felony, on Nov. 8, 2023, and given three years of community control. In this original sentencing, the court said that if he violated any of the community control or drug court docket sanctions, because he was accepted into the New Way to Recovery Drug Court Docket, he would be sentenced to around six to 12 months in prison and ordered to pay a $2,500 fine.
