According to KETK, Donnell had been charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance Less than One Gram which was a State Jail Felony. That level of offense is only punishable by up to two years in state jail. However, because of Donnell\u2019s prior convictions, the offense was statutorily enhanced up to a Second Degree Felony which carried a minimum of two years and a maximum of twenty years in prison. Donnell plead to the enhanced maximum of twenty years.<\/p>\n<p>The drug charge stemmed from an August 24, 2011 traffic stop by Deputy Greg Hill, of the Henderson County Sheriff\u2019s Office. Hill stopped Donnell on Jonathon Street in Athens. Hill observed Donnell\u2019s vehicle while it was stopped in the middle of the street just after 11:00PM. Ultimately, Donnell dropped a baggie of cocaine while exiting the vehicle. Hill arrested Donnell on site.<\/p>\n<p>After bonding out after the initial arrest, on April 20, 2012, Donnell was again arrested for possession of cocaine by Deputy Joseph Durr of the Henderson County Sheriff\u2019s office. After a traffic stop, Donnell was removed from his vehicle. His nervousness and suspect movements led to a pat down of him for officer safety. Ultimately, Durr found him to be in possession of cocaine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HENDERSON &#8212; Casey Larmount Donnell, 39, of Athens, was sentenced to 20 years in prison by 173rd Judicial District Court Judge Dan Moore last Wednesday after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine.
