Baltic man sentenced on drug charges in Lake County

A Baltic man has been sentenced on two drug related charges in Lake County.  

26-year-old Jared Opland was sentenced last week in Lake County Circuit Court on felony counts of Distribution of One Ounce or Less of Marijuana and Possession of a Controlled Substance.  Circuit Judge Pat Pardy sentenced Opland to serve three years in the state penitentiary on the possession charge.  The judge suspended the penitentiary sentence based on several conditions, some of which include that he pay fine and costs of more than 11-hundred dollars.  On the Distribution charge, Opland was sentenced to serve six months in the state penitentiary and pay fine and costs of more than 11-hundred dollars.  Judge Pardy ordered that the two sentences run consecutively.
