A Scranton man was recently sentenced to probation for a September incident in Jefferson.

According to court documents, 22-year-old Dalton Weber pled guilty to a Class D Felony for possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. He had a five year prison sentence suspended and was placed on probation for three years. 

The charge stemmed from an incident on September 17, 2020 when the Jefferson Police Department tried to stop a vehicle that was driven by 20-year-old Nicholas Weber at 4:26pm on U.S. Highway 30 near M Avenue. The vehicle initially refused to stop and the officer saw a backpack thrown from the vehicle. Once the vehicle stopped, the backpack was recovered, along with other drug-related items. 

Dalton was also charged with a felony for failure to affix a drug tax stamp, which was dismissed as per the plea agreement. He was also ordered to pay over $1,000 in fines, surcharges and court costs. Nicholas was sentenced last month to two years of probation after pleading guilty to an aggravated misdemeanor for possession of marijuana.
