Jacob Hansel, 36, of Martelle was found guilty by a jury in Washington District court October 27, of Intent to Deliver, a Class B felony, and Failure to Affix a Drug Tax Stamp, a Class D felony. Charges stemmed from a 3 a.m. encounter between Hansel and a Washington County Sheriff’s Deputy at the Riverside Kum & Go October 1, 2019.
Hensel was wanted on a warrant and after he was arrested, law enforcement discovered Hansel possessed more than 27 grams of methamphetamine, $1,177 in cash, small baggies typically used for selling methamphetamine and a digital scale.
Sentencing is set for December 10 in district court. Hansel may face up to 30 years in prison.
“I cannot say enough good about how law enforcement conducted themselves in this investigation,” said Washington County Attorney John Gish following the verdict. “The experts in the Washington County Sheriff’s Office do a lot to protect the community and getting meth dealers and their product off the streets does exactly that.”
