PORT TOWNSEND — A 31-year-old Port Townsend man has been sentenced to 19 months in state prison after pleading guilty to burglary, possession of stolen property and conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine, authorities said.
The Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team, or OPNET, developed probable cause to believe that Patrick G. McHenry sold 4.7 grams of methamphetamine to a confidential informant on March 21, court papers said.
The property crimes were the result of a Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office investigation, OPNET Supervisor Jason Viada said.
McHenry’s guilty plea was the result of a global plea agreement for both cases.
A delivery of methamphetamine case against McHenry was dismissed Oct. 10.
McHenry’s criminal history includes prior felony convictions for unlawful possession of a firearm, taking a motor vehicle without permission, vehicle prowling and burglary, Viada said.
He was being held this week at the Washington Corrections Center in Shelton.
Meanwhile, Samantha J. Tuson, 27, of Quilcene, was charged Dec. 16 with delivery of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop.
OPNET developed probable cause to believe that Tuson delivered 1.7 grams of methamphetamine for $100 in Port Hadlock on Oct. 22.
Her vehicle was seized because OPNET also had probable cause to believe that Tuson used her vehicle to deliver the drug, Viada said.
Tuson was ordered to appear in Jefferson County Superior Court on Jan. 23.
In another OPNET case, Lacey A. Hart, 21, of Port Hadlock, was charged Nov. 26 with five counts of delivery of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop.
Hart allegedly sold methamphetamine on five days in September and October.
The five sales amounted to 8.1 grams of methamphetamine for $445, court papers said.
Hart’s next hearing is set for Jan. 23 in Jefferson County Superior Court.
An accomplice, Skye F. Peacock, 21, also of Port Hadlock, was charged Nov. 26 with delivery of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop.
Investigators developed probable cause to believe that Peacock was Hart’s accomplice during the sale of 1.3 grams of methamphetamine for $80 on Oct. 30.
Hart and Peacock were arrested Nov. 25.
