A Grand Junction man was recently sentenced to probation for a drug incident.

According to court documents, 61-year-old Mark Morrow pled guilty to two Class D Felonies for his third or subsequent offense for possession of methamphetamine and his third or subsequent offense for possession of marijuana. He had two five year prison sentences suspended and was placed on probation for a total of two years. 

The charges stemmed from June 30, 2022 when the Greene County Sheriff’s Office was notified about possible drugs in Morrow’s home in the 800 block of Hagar Street in Grand Junction. An executed search warrant recovered several drug-related items.

County Attorney Thomas Laehn told Raccoon Valley Radio the sentencing was a joint recommendation with the defense attorney, which District Court Judge Joseph McCarville agreed with. Morrow was also ordered to pay over $1,000 in fines and surcharges.
