A St. Mary’s man has been sentenced to serve 12 years in prison from his guilty plea to the possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute the drug in May of last year in Lexington Park.
A judge sentenced Thomas Darnell Evans, 28, of Lexington Park to 20 years for the offense, suspended to the 12-year term. St. Mary’s narcotics investigators reported this week that Evans will be on supervised probation for five years after his release.
In addition, St. Mary’s Judge Michael J. Stamm ordered at this month’s sentencing hearing that Evans be given a concurrent five-year prison term on his guilty plea to being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm last September, when narcotics officers reported arresting him on the earlier felony cocaine indictment during a raid in Great Mills.
Evans also was given a suspended four-year prison sentence this month from his guilty plea to a misdemeanor drug possession offense.
