Edward Wayne McIntyre, 47, of 215 Chapman Ave. pled guilty in Roane Circuit Court to possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.

McIntyre told Judge David Nibert he had marijuana in May of 2007 and intended to sell it.

McIntyre was charged after a 14-year-old Spencer Middle School student was found with marijuana in his possession. He allegedly told police he bought if from McIntyre a few days earlier at McIntyre’s apartment.

As a result of his plea, McIntyre will be facing a maximum of 1-to-5 years in prison and a $15,000 fine when he is sentenced on Sept. 8. He is free on bond while awaiting sentencing.

Also on Monday, a Spencer man pled guilty to thefts from a local supermarket, where he stole almost $2,000 in tobacco products, and another theft from a church.

Troy F. Stevens III, 20, of Vandale Fork, pled guilty to grand larceny for the August theft of 59 cartons of cigarettes and several packages of tobacco from the Foodland store in Spencer.

At the same time, he pled guilty to a charge of petit larceny for stealing a TV and stereo from First Baptist Church of Spencer.

Nibert also set his sentencing for Sept. 8, after a pre-sentence investigation by a probation officer.

Two other pleas also were entered Monday.

David Stone III, 32, of Frame Road, Elkview pled guilty to fleeing an officer in a vehicle, DUI, battery on an officer and destruction of property.

Stone allegedly refused to stop at a road check in Spencer on the night of Nov. 4, nearly striking a police officer in the process. When police pursued his 1991 GMC truck on Black Walnut Avenue, he put the truck in reverse and rammed a city police cruiser.

Stone agreed to pay restitution to the city as part of his plea. He will be sentenced Aug. 11.

In another case, Christopher Adam Hundley, 24, of Charleston Road, Clendenin pled guilty to conspiracy to manufacture marijuana.

State Police said they found 10 marijuana plants growing at the home of his grandparents, where Hundley was staying at the time. His grandparents told police Hundley said they were tomato plants.

Police noticed the plants when they were returning Hundley’s dog to the home, after they had found Hundley intoxicated in a vehicle in Kanawha County.

He will be sentenced Sept 8.
