A Sallisaw man pleaded guilty to trafficking in illegal drugs and was sentenced to five years in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. Bolin will also be on supervised probation for five years after he is released from prison.

District Attorney Jerry S. Moore said Bolin was arrested on Dec. 9 after a search warrant was served at Bolin’s home in Sallisaw. Officers found a large amount of methamphetamines and drug paraphernalia.

During the search officers found two plastic bags containing 88 grams of an off-white substance that field tested positive for methamphetamines.

Bolin has two previous drug convictions—he was convicted of possession of marijuana on May 10, 2006, and possession of a controlled substance on Jan. 11, 2009.

“All of our local agencies do an excellent job investigating drug crimes and working together,” Kyle Waters, assistant district attorney, said.
