3 lbs. of marijuana gets man probation

Colton Augustine of Jefferson Township, arrested after police find 3 pounds of marijuana at his house.

A Butler man was sentenced Thursday to 30 months of county probation after police found three pounds of marijuana in his trailer.

In March, police responding to a domestic dispute between Colton J. Augustine and Ruth S. Guterry of West Sunbury, both 24, found an array of marijuana in various forms, from consumable products to wax concentrations along with more traditional joints.

Amid all the marijuana products there was a 1-year-old — the daughter of one of the defendants, at the McCalip Farm Lane home in Jefferson Township, where the couple was living, police said.

After entering a plea agreement with the state, Augustine pleaded guilty to one felony charge related to the drugs and all the other charges against him were dismissed. Augustine must also pay a $750 fine.

The District Attorney’s office dropped charges against Guttery on Aug. 30 during the course of negotiations between the DA and her lawyer, Marco Attisano.
