Michael Hand, 28, was sentenced to seven years probation and to Drug Court by Special District Judge Dennis Sprouse.
District Attorney Jerry More said that while Hand was in Drug Court he tested positive for narcotics numerous times, and he eventually left the program without permission.
Hand’s probation was revoked by Sprouse Tuesday.
Kyle E. Waters, assistant district attorney who handled the case, said, “Drug Court is not easy and many people who are placed in the program will fail unfortunately. However, for those individuals who truly wish to change their life, it is the best thing going.”
