Weddle gets. 29 months
on a medley of charges
Chris Allen Weddle, 38, of SE
2402 Cole Road, Shelton, was
sentenced Thursday to a total of
29 months in prison in four sepa-
rate criminal cases in Mason
County Superior Court.
The sentences will run concur-
rently to one another but Weddle
won't start serving that time until
he completes a sentence on a sep-
arate drug charge handed down
in Pierce County Superior Court.
He also faces additional time for a
parole violation.
Judge James Sawyer placed
him under 12 months of super-
vision by the Washington Depart-
ment of Corrections following his
release. He ordered Weddle to
stay away from bars and taverns,
to take regular tests for the pres-
ence of drugs and alcohol in his
system and to stay away from
known drug dealers and users.
"I KNOW WHAT got me
here," Weddle told the court.
'rhere's not much I can say."
What got him in the orange
jumpsuit worn by inmates at the
Washington Corrections Center
in Shelton was a variety of
charges having to do with meth-
amphetamine and stolen proper-
ty. He told Sawyer that he's de-
termined to kick the drug habit.
"That's easy to say when you're
sitting here in orange coveralls. It
gets tough when you get out," the
judge replied. "You need to start
lining up your support systems
out here in the community."
JUDGE SAWYER handed
down the following concurrent
sentences after hearing from
Deputy Prosecutor Reinhold
Schuetz and defense attorney
Eric Valley:
29 months tbr possession of
methamphetamine. Sawyer or-
dered Weddle to pay a $2,000

tion. That means less time in jail
but more time - 24 months - un-

lease. She told him to stay away
from illegal drugs and known
drug users and to submit to regu-
lar tests for alcohol and drugs in
his system.
He was ordered to pay $500 to

Weddle gets. 29 months
on a medley of charges
Chris Allen Weddle, 38, of SE
2402 Cole Road, Shelton, was
sentenced Thursday to a total of
29 months in prison in four sepa-
rate criminal cases in Mason
County Superior Court.
The sentences will run concur-
rently to one another but Weddle
won't start serving that time until
he completes a sentence on a sep-
arate drug charge handed down
in Pierce County Superior Court.
He also faces additional time for a
parole violation.
Judge James Sawyer placed
him under 12 months of super-
vision by the Washington Depart-
ment of Corrections following his
release. He ordered Weddle to
stay away from bars and taverns,
to take regular tests for the pres-
ence of drugs and alcohol in his
system and to stay away from
known drug dealers and users.
"I KNOW WHAT got me
here," Weddle told the court.
'rhere's not much I can say."
What got him in the orange
jumpsuit worn by inmates at the
Washington Corrections Center
in Shelton was a variety of
charges having to do with meth-
amphetamine and stolen proper-
ty. He told Sawyer that he's de-
termined to kick the drug habit.
"That's easy to say when you're
sitting here in orange coveralls. It
gets tough when you get out," the
judge replied. "You need to start
lining up your support systems
out here in the community."
JUDGE SAWYER handed
down the following concurrent
sentences after hearing from
Deputy Prosecutor Reinhold
Schuetz and defense attorney
Eric Valley:
29 months tbr possession of
